When to Announce Your Pregnancy

PDF download Download Article
  1. In general, announce your pregnancy after the first trimester (12 weeks). The general rule of thumb is to announce your pregnancy after 12 weeks, as the risk of miscarriage is significantly lower at that point. However, the decision is ultimately up to you, as some people prefer to announce their pregnancy as soon as they find out, especially to close friends and family. [12]

Should you announce your pregnancy online?

PDF download Download Article
  1. It's a great way to tell a lot people at once, but only if you feel comfortable. Whether you choose to announce your pregnancy online is entirely up to you. While you probably want to tell close friends and family the news face-to-face, making an announcement on social media is a great way to reach those you don’t talk to as often. Plus, this allows others to share in your excitement!
    • There aren’t many major downsides to making an online announcement, but be aware you could get some negative comments or unsolicited advice.
    • Don’t feel like you have to make an announcement on social media. It’s totally okay if you want to keep your pregnancy private.
