I had one that made it to 21 1/2 weeks with some problems and never told anyone about it. I have one friend who knows that we're trying, and one of DH's sisters and my sister know that we've been trying. Everyone else thinks that it will be years. Anyway, we've been pretty hush-hush because of all my problems so no one knows that we've been trying and no one even knew about any of the miscarriages or that late loss. After all of this, I think that we're going to wait until 20ish weeks unless I REALLY show early. They think that I've just gotten fat over the past couple of years, but they have no idea that it's a hormonal imbalance and weight gain from pregnancies. I'm hoping that winter clothes can hide me until we feel safer!
After 3mc's I'll probably wait, it least until 5 months, If I can hide it that long, but I am only 4"10', and weigh
about 110lbs, it maybe hard!! Well see, but it least the 3-4month mark
I will be waiting until about 15 weeks or so. It was so hard on my kids when I lost the last one and I would rather them be in the dark until we know we are moving along as we should be. I always show early so we will will have to see......

i have had 2 misscarriages in the past and family knew about them.... we told everyone straight away.... only because we are close to all our family and feel that it wouldnt be right not to tell them.... we just had a baby 4 months ago so everyone was a little OMG ALREADY about it... but that is the way we planned it....
I am sorry to hear about everyones losses.... it makes me sad and i truly think that the angels that left us were needed in higher places....

I haven't even told hubby yet, lol. I think I'll text message him at work tonight! Talk about romantic lol! I'm not telling family till they see the belly. My mother thinks I am nuts for wanting 5 children. Not sure how my in laws feel. They thought we needed to stop after the first two though. I just don't know!

The last time we told EVERYBODY and then three weeks later I had a lot of unhappy phone calls to make. So this time we are only telling our nearest and dearest. My mom, my two best friends, another close friend who is also TTC (we stalk each others charts every day) and my two co-workers. I am a bank teller so I had to tell them that I would no longer be picking up coin boxes. The problem is the other teller is five months pregnant so now we have to depend on my manager!
I am going to wait until I have my first 2nd trimester sonogram and I know everything is okay to tell the world.
We have already told the whole world we are expecting.

I I will keep you in my prayers that you have a H&H pregnancy.
Waiting until after the 3 month mark is a safe thing to do if you may be sensitive if there is a problem. But on the upbeat side. Make a t-shirt, I personality wrote a poem on the computer to my dad and how important he is to me and I hope I can pass that along to my child. I put it in a frame that I painted with the words POPPY at the top (that is what my niece and nephew call him). He just looked at it and looked at me and we both started crying. It was great.
You could send out cards with the words there will be another seat at thanksgiving this year and let them call you so you can tell them about everything- that is fun esp if they cant get you on the phone !!!
