when should you tell people you are prego?

  I have been having a debate with my hubby about when you should tell people your prego?

He's a teacher at a local college, and a young lady told him that she is prego only 4wk3day.

what do you think?

humm that's a tough one...  I will prob tell people when I find out because I am horrible at keeping that kind of stuff to myself!  I am not supersticous and I think that just because you tell someone doesn't mean you're jinxing yourself in anyway.  But on the other hand miscarriages happen a lot in early pregnancy so it's a tough one!

I think that this is a personal decision and it seems to me that younger people generally tell earlier.  We did not tell family until 9 and 11 weeks; friends and coworkers at 13 weeks.

I think it depends, for us we suffered though several m/c's and people where just plain awful about it, people said stupid things that didn't help, and just baiscally pissed me off because they wanted me to be over it on THEIR time, not mine. So with the triplets we waited until 16 weeks to tell, and with this baby I waited until after a u/s showed a healthy growing baby at 14 weeks. I think it's smart to wait to tell the world until after 12 weeks, but for family maybe earlier.

We told family the day of bfp pretty much.  Everyone else will wait  to tell until 11-12 weeks.

i think its a personal choice and no one should judge...you never know the situation, cir****tances....and the personalities involved.

I told everyone as soon as I found out.  I work around chemicals and have to be moved as soon as I get a BFP.  So, since my co-workers know immediately I figure it's only fair for my friends and family to know to.  I also look at it this way....if I do have a miscarriage I will have alot more poeple praying for me and supporting me.

I told EVERYONE when I found out. I wish I had waited since right after it was public knowledge I started to miscarry. I will say that I am glad I did it that wasy since I have had unbelieveable support.

I know the next time I will keep my mouth shut longer.
