We are planning to tell our immediate families this weekend when I will only be 6 weeks. Ideally, we'd wait a bit longer, but everyone will be in town at the same time because of the holiday. So it's really great timing in that regard. I hope I have an ultrasound tomorrow and if everything looks as it should, we will announce. So I think whatever works for you is what you should do!
What a great idea!! I think if I had an idea as cute as that I would definitely do it! Especially since it's just close friends and family. We already told our close friends and family.
Andplusalso - this girl I know was like 5-6 weeks pregnant and already announced to Facebook. She found out she was pregnant like 2 days after me and thought she was due in March, which was impossible at that point. So I guess she finally figured out it would be February, but announced before she's even been to the doctor or anything.

I'm on mobile and I can't see the poll, but I don't think 10w is too early to tell family. We'll probably share to DH's family around that time as well. I have no plans to make an official snail mail/Facebook announcement, but we will tell friends and extended family as we see them starting when I have an obvious belly.
Honestly, the vast majority of people we see often - family, close friends, coworkers - already know. If we had done a better job of keeping the secret from the beginning, I would probably wait till the end of the first tri to announce on social media but at this point it just seems silly to wait. So I just need to get the stuff ready for the picture we're going to use to announce on Facebook, and then we'll probably post it in the next week or so.
This. For the first two kids, I waited until 11 weeks to tell family and posted on FB at 13 weeks. I will still wait until the end of the 1st tri for a FB announcement, but our families and and close friends already know.
This is such a personal call. All my work friends and close friends and family knew by 10wks with DS. For my losses, only close friends and family knew, and that was fine. This time we've told 4 friends, and my mom. Will tell more after first tri, or as it becomes unavoidable (going to a wedding at 10wks with friends who will KNOW if I'm not having wine, for example).
