How far along were you when you were 'out' to everyone about your pregnancy?

How far along were you when you found out the gender?

I came out the day I got my BFP so like 11 DPO - not sure what that translates to in weeks. I couldn't contain my excitement! We had a gender guess at 12w6d at the NT scan and she said she was pretty sure he was a boy and it was confirmed at our 20 week U/S which was i think a day or two shy of 20 weeks.

We waited until 12 weeks to tell mostly everyone. My parents and a couple of other misc. people knew before then. We waited until 17w to come out on facebook.

We found out the gender at 16w6d.

With this baby we came out to family at 6 weeks and then FB at 9w. We could go find out the gender at 15w and I want to but now I'm all nervous they'll be wrong.

with my first: i told my immediate family and a couple friends the day we found out. We were trying to wait until 12 weeks to tell everyone else, but it finally got the best of me & i spilled the beans at 11 weeks. We found out the gender at the 18 week ultrasound

with my second: i think we told my immediate family & 1 close friend pretty soon after finding out (not the same day, but i dont think we waited too long). I didnt make it known publicly (fb) until about 18 weeks or so. I found out the gender at 24 weeks, because she hid her parts at my 18 week ultrasound.

Owen: I was 18 so it was a touchy subject in some ways. I wanted him and was excited but knew my parents and family would be upset. My Mom, Dad & Derricks parents found out at around 6-8 weeks..a few other close family members found out shortly after that. Other family members who did not live near us found out in my 3rd trimester.

Rylan: I had issues early on. I was bleeding and my Beta results sucked..they were not even doubling so I had to take prometrium and was kind of in the dark on if i'd miscarry or not so I only told my mom,dad and sister. Once we saw his heartbeat and my levels were where they should be..we told everyone else at around 9-10 weeks.

Addison: I told my sister a few other people but kept it a secret on FB and from my parents until my Mom came to visit us (we lived in New Orleans and she lived in Ca) and I surprised her in person and then told everyone else right after that. I don't even remember how far along I was. Maybe 8ish weeks? I'd have to look at my pregnancy journal.

How far along were you when you found out the gender?

Owen: 20 weeks
Rylan: 21 weeks
Addison: Almost 17 weeks.

For CJ almost immediately family knew, as we were doing MA so they all were watching- officially to everyone else it was around 8-10 weeks. Found out gender around 18 weeks.

With this one we waited till about 10 weeks with family-they got to know early because some people were guessing, then we officially announced at 12 weeks. We found out gender at 15w4d.

Tamberly - I told people as soon as I found out. I didn't get a BFP until 8 weeks, and since I had just turned 18, I needed to tell the dad and my mom immediately. I needed advice and support. Gender...we had a tentative guess at 34 weeks, but found out for sure the day she was born.

Michael - Again, it took forever to get a BFP...I was about 7 weeks I think. Gender was blurted out to us accidentally at 21 or 22 weeks.

Emily - I told my husband immediately. I was just barely 5 weeks. We waited another month to tell his parents, but I told my family right away. I found out the gender when I was hospitalized at 23 weeks for an non-pregnancy related issue. It was confirmed 2 weeks later at a 3D ultrasound.

Tristan - I told the husband immediately. I didn't even test until I realized I was 2 days late. We waited a week or two to tell the family. As for gender, I had an u/s in the ER at 13 weeks and the doctor was guessing boy. I had a few more ultrasounds after that and he was definitely a boy.
