At what point do you plan on telling your friends and family you're expecting?  If you already told them what week were you in?

We've decided that we would tell everyone roughly around 12 weeks.  A small number of people know now but that's only because they've been following us while TTC.

I had to tell people early (5 weeks) cause of thanksgiving. They would guess it anyway cause i was newly married ( and that's just what married people do) and also because i wouldn't be drinking ( which i normally do at family functions)

The day I peed on the stick...lol  There wasn't any way that I could keep it a secret but we did wait to tell our little ones until the first ultrasound because I wouldn't have wanted to upset them.

Probably between 8-12 weeks, once we see a healthy heartbeat on u/s. Although, with dd, I didn't tell until I was 14 weeks. But I was working then and didn't want word to get out too early.
