Deciding when and how to share big news is always tricky to figure out, but when the news involves a new addition to your family the decision gets exponentially more difficult. With so many factors involved and so much disparate advice out there, how does a couple decide when the best time is to share their news?
The most well-known piece of advice floating around advises parents to wait until the end of the first trimester, or about 12 weeks, to announce that they are expecting. The main piece of conventional wisdom for this advice is that the risk of miscarriage drops dramatically after about 10 to 12 weeks of pregnancy, so it is thought that the new parents might want to wait to share their news until they are relatively sure they won’t lose the pregnancy. This is meant to spare the social awkwardness and disappointment for the larger community involved in the parents lives.
