When to tell people you're pregnant

When to tell people you're pregnant

When to tell people is a personal choice. Many women wait until after 12 weeks, when there's less risk of miscarriage. But others want to share their news at once. I can understand women who feel cautious, particularly if they've previously had a miscarriage. But if the pregnancy were to end and it had been a secret, this too can be very hard for a couple. You must trust your instincts, and if you want to share your wonderful news, do!
