When should I announce my pregancy?

I had 3 positive pregnancy tests on Sunday the 30th and another positive the next morning. I needed to be sure. I have my first ob appointment on Tuesday. I was going to make the announcement right after my first appointment but after looking at these baby sites and seeing so much about mis carraiges I'm afraid to tell anyone at all.
My last AF, I believe, was November 14-21st so I believe that makes me about 6 or 7 weeks.
Is there a chance I will find out that I'm not as far along or am further before 12 weeks from my last period? Is there a chance my doctor will say to me to wait a little longer than 12 weeks?

you sure are pregnant, so its totally up to you and ur partner. i didnt say anything untill 12 weeks (only because i lost one at 11 weeks)

so yeah.... when u feel ready   and congratulations x

I waited until I completed the first trimester with both of mine.

Your about as far along as i am. And we haven't made the offical announcement at all either we are waiting until after my appointment on the 14th.

Maybe wait until after your appointment when you are more certain or wait another month to be more sure.

I had just turned 13 weeks so just a few days ago when i announced to people  

I would wait until 12 weeks, but it's up to you ultimately   congrats

I was 18 weeks when I announced my pregnancy on facebook..17 when we told family and friends(8 weeks when I told my immediate family)...I didn't want everyone to know my business..I honestly think I could've gone my entire pregnancy without telling anyone and I would've been fine..I'd say wait until after 12 weeks because the chances of a miscarriage are a lot lower.....but I do know a friend who posted her positive test the day she found out....the choice is totally up to you!

I told everyone the day we found out. I've had a miscarriage before & I don't think I could have gotten threw it without the support from my family. But it's totally up to you.

i didnt say anything til i was 10 to 12 wks i had 2 miscarriages but they say after the 3rd month you are pretty much in the clear gl with breaking the news

I told my family right away (well, at about 5 weeks, I needed some time to adjust  ). I did tell them that if they told others and I miscarried, that they would have to make sure to tell everyone they told.

I figured that I would need the support of my family if I lost a baby. I have heard stories of women who don't tell and have problems relating to people during miscarriages  .

It is totally up to you. During my first pregnancy I waited until about 12 weeks to officially make the announcement to everyone.

This pregnancy we decided that if anything bad would happen we would be fine sharing the news, so we told everyone after we got family pics about at 7 weeks.

Everyone is different, so talk it over with your SO and see what he thinks.

I waited until I have my first ultrasound and heard my babies heartbeat. I was right around 8 weeks then.

i told mine the day i took the test and then lost them i lost twins and a single family does help but it dont make the hurt go away any quicker or it didnt for me

Its up to you. I announced at 7 wks.

The first time we were pregnant last summer, we were so excited (first grandkid on both sides, too) that we told everyone. We thought we were at 8wks, but an ultrasound dated us at 6wks3days (measuring baby is more accurate than going by your LMP unless you're absolutely sure of the conception date).

We lost at 11wks. My SIL had a bunch to say about how we shouldn't have been telling people so early.... that we knew there was a chance of mc.... that we were wrong to be talking about our mc b/c it should be kept private and handled at home (yeah, she's a total b*tch).

This time, we told our parents right away (at about 5wks). We told our immediate family (stupid SIL, too) at Christmas. Had an u/s 2wks ago --- at the time, we should have been 7wks3days according to LMP, but baby measured at 6wks5days so that's the new due date. I told my coworkers & bosses because my job is physical & my doctor would like me to ask for assistance in lifting. We've also told a couple of close friends, but we're waiting on telling "the rest of the world" until February.

I don't regret telling early before --- we were excited, we had no reason to think we would miscarry..... and to be honest.... I've met women who have lost babies up until birth... so while there's a lesser chance to miscarry after 1st trimester, there's no plan but God's. I was happy to have support from family and friends during that time and I wouldn't change that. I say you do whatever YOU feel is right for you --- and CONGRATULATIONS
