Did you/will you wait 3 months to tell friends/extended family? If so, what is/was your reason?
I am telling my MIL tonight and flying to AZ to surprise my parents on Sunday. I'll tell my grandma & his. I'm unsure what to do about the rest of the family and friends....
I feel like I'd like to tell people b/c if g-d forbid something happens, I guess I'd need support from people... On the other hand, I don't want to start receiving gifts/cards until 3 months just in case...
opinions?

Re: 3 month question
I told those closest to me, for that reason, if anything were to happen I would want there support. I wear my feelings and emotions on my sleave so they would know if something was wrong. Congratulations!!!!

Re: 3 month question
We told our IMMEDIATE family at 6 weeks... we waited until 13-14 weeks to tell everyone else. If anything were to happen we had our closest family for support, we felt we didn't need anyone else. HOWEVER, my main reason for not telling people was IF something bad were to happen, I didn't want to have to go around and spread bad news after having just shared good news... hope that makes sense.

Re: 3 month question
I have had 2 pregnancies and I told right away and will in the future, both my pregnacies ended in losses and one well after 3 months so I figure it could unfortunatly happen anytime, why hold it in, I need support no matter what the issue is...a healthy or unhealthy pregnancy so I want those around me to know...

Re: 3 month question
We were so excited that we told everyone right away. I had a miscarriage at 9 weeks and we were devasted. While it was difficult to tell everyone the sad news, there was no way that they weren't going to figure out that there was something severly wrong. There support was needed. I would tell- but that's just my opinion.

Re: 3 month question
I had a MC in February and we told everyone as soon as we found out, I am glad I did because I had all their support and love through the MC. We are now 8 weeks pregnant and told everyone as soon as we knew, just friends and family. We wont tell people we work with ar anyone like that until the 2nd trimestor. Congratulations again!!!!

Re: 3 month question
We told our immediate family around 6 weeks. The only other people we told was our best friends, a married couple. I didn't feel comfortable letting everyone know until I got past the 3 month mark. I felt that our immediate family and best friends was enough of a support group if anything did happen.
