I dont feel that people are ‘made’ to wait to make the announcement. I think its a personal choice and most people seem to want to wait until the high risk period is over. Each to their own.

Beautiful photo. Good on you for being you! Congratulations!

A friend of mine put on weight around her tummy before 12 weeks. Some people were suspicious before she announced it. She suffered from morning sickness occasionally (not every day). That was another thing that alerted her work colleagues that it was a possibility.

Good on her for sharing their news when she felt ready, early or later it’s personal choice.

Good on you Sophie for sharing it on the moment you want to share it ! And congrats to you !!

I love this woman. I discovered her after i had my 1st born and related to a lot of things that she posted. She has “exposed” the truth about being a parent in a very raw way and i am delighted that she is entering another wonderful chapter in her life. Congratulations Sophie!

If something were to happen it would be easier for the family having people know so they can provide extra love and support when most needed

Although, if you choose to wait till the 12 week scan, and find then that there are problems, it does give you a chance to get your head around it before you have to talk to everyone.

I had no idea that “Societal norms prevent us from freely announcing pregnancy until after the 12-week mark”…..I felt that it was a personal choice of each couple to decide when they wanted to announce their pregnancy. With my first I told every one as soon as I found out. With my second it was the same deal and with my third i decided that I would keep it secret from everyone other then family and close friends for as long as i could as people get so excited but then kind of get to the point where they just want it to hurry up so they tend to drive me a little crazy near the end. But my 2nd daughter decided that she was telling everyone so my cover was blown and everyone found out straight away anyway. 🙂

I love the photo of her and her boy together on the bed – just gorgeous!

Congratulations and all the best of health during your pregnancy!!

Good in you Sophie for sharing on the moment you want to share this exciting news ! Congrats on your pregnancy !!

I am pregnant with my fourth child due in three weeks, and I always tell family and friends the moment I do a pregnancy test which has been with all four around when I’m 4 weeks pregnant, then I go for my first scan to find out how far along I am and to get my due date which has been at 6 weeks, I then announce it on my Facebook when I have had my 12 week scan only so I can share the picture of my baby, if the baby looked like a baby at 6 weeks I would share it then

its funny to see the different levels of response from the different age groups

I announced my third pregnancy at 10 weeks. I was sick and showing and I just wanted everyone to understand.
