This was something my husband and I thought a lot about, I'm sure every other couple expecting wonder the same thing. Finding out your pregnant is a very exciting time and you literally want to shout it at the top of your lungs. However it may be wise to wait a little while for a few reasons. After the first 12 weeks the risk of miscarriage drops significantly, which is the main reason mums-to-be-hold off until then. If you, god forbid suffer a loss, having to tell people and answer questions may be emotionally very difficult. Secondly, everyone has advice, so keeping your exciting news to yourself for a little while makes a lovely time to just enjoy it with your partner and maybe family members without being bombarded with advice and opinions. As well as this, pregnancy can feel like forever, especially if you find out early so when you share it after the first trimester it almost makes it feel a little less lengthy, well this is just my opinion. My first trimester flew by because it was our little secret.
Telling people does have its advantages though, being treated like a princess being the main one ;) But either way, whether you wait or not not, do whats right for you & your partner. Ultimately its your decision and your have to be the one making it.
Good luck mumma
