When "Should" You Announce Your Pregnancy?
08/31/23 • 30 min
Thanks to social media, pregnancy announcements are all the rage. The cute photos, gender reveals, curated videos... but if you've struggled with infertility or are experiencing pregnancy after loss, you may be wondering when "should" you share the news? Spoiler alert: there's no wrong answer.
Take a listen as Jacqueline shares when and how she announced her pregnancies (all five of them!) and how her different experiences can shed some light both on the pros of sharing your news early and waiting until you're further along.
Positive test? Go for it! First ultrasound? Sounds like a plan. 12 weeks? Classic. Anatomy scan? Great!
There are so many factors that play into a pregnant woman's decision as to when to share pregnancy news... personal preference, loss, infertility treatments, family, and so on. It's your baby, so do what feels right for you!
