I didn't do it until 17 weeks (immediately after we knew we were having a boy and a girl). Hitting post was difficult. But, it was nice to have the news out there.
Not sure yet. I would be fine not posting until there is a baby, but I am sure H will want to post something. It will probably be after NT scan or after we find out the sex.
This time just a few days ago. My sister got engaged when I was 12 weeks, so I waited for her to share which took a few weeks. Then it was almost time for our AS, so I figured I'd wait and announce the sex at the same time. Then it took me a month to get my cd of ultrasound photos.
We posted around 13 weeks. We had been in Mexico at 11 weeks and took a cute announcement photo there and I was anxious to post it cause I liked our announcement so much. We had our N/T scan and bloodwork done by then so we felt good about the timing.

The day after our NT scan came back clear. We had a cute professional picture taken a few weeks before and posted it on Facebook and Instagram. As silly as it sounds it was one of my fave moments getting so much love and well wishes
Around the 17 week mark. I found it to be an easy way to spread the news to some of the far flung family and friends that I don't see often.
I still haven't Posted anything about the sex which I didn't realize til I saw some cousins I haven't seen in awhile today and they asked if I knew the sex.
Around 12-13 weeks. Our family is all far away and I wasn't about to call my large family one by one to share. Besides, I figured it unfair to show up at my family reunion this summer 25 weeks pregnant and say surprise I'm pregnant. I was a bit hesitant and nervous to hit post and have it "social media official" in case some bad happened.
We ended up posting around 12 weeks after our NT ultrasound. I probably would have waited a little longer, but H was super excited about the pregnancy and really wanted to share. I think I was more nervous than he was about something bad happening. We still have not posted about the sex of the baby, but our friends and family know.
We wanted to wait until after our first ultrasound at the very least, 9 weeks, because of a prior loss and then had to wait longer because I was waiting for a job offer from an old employer. I didn't want coworkers seeing it before I got the job and my boss finding out. I think we announced right around 12 weeks.
I told my mom and sisters when I got my BFP. We started telling close friends and family after 8 weeks (I had had an u/s at 6 weeks). I told my principal and work friends after the NT scan.
I had panorama blood work done, I should get the results this week or early next week at the latest - I'll probably post something in Instagram then - probably DD in a big sister shirt. I tend to be more private in FB since I live and teach in the same town. Not that I don't want parents of students to know - at this point that's fine, I just don't post personal stuff in general on there.
Right now I'm not planning on it. We will see how I feel after my bloodwork and NT scan, I will feel more comfortable verbally telling people then. I'm guessing IF we decide to put something on FB it will be more for my husband. I'd like him to wait until viability but we'll see.
This time we posted at 6w6d. We have been very open about our loss/IF and no matter what happens with this pregnancy, I'm going to talk about it so I would much rather have it out in the open now vs having something bad happen and be all "oh btw, we went through this" after the fact. It's been really awesome having the support this early on.
We weren't planning on saying anything on FB until closer to 20 weeks, but my SM outed me at 14 weeks and I didn't notice until people had already commented on it so we just went ahead and posted our announcement.
Haven't decided yet. I've had one u/s already and baby looked fine and on track, but it's still early. My first visit with my OB is this week. We have some family that know, and some friends. But only because I have been so sick that it has turned our daily life upside down, not to mention when I had to go into the hospital for fluids. Previously we shared with everyone/social media after the 8/9wk u/s. Probably will again this time. Maybe I'll try to so something cutesy with the girls annoucing...?
13 weeks/after the NT scan. Didn't post anything announcing the sex (even though we knew at that point - thanks Harmony!) so I just tell people it's a girl if they happen to ask.
We waited until 14 weeks and posted we are expecting. We didn't not post anything about our gender reveal when we found out at 20 weeks. However, we do share with people when they ask.

I don't. I tried to tell as many people as I could in person, other people got phone calls/texts/emails. If I don't know you well enough for me to tell you through those sources, I don't really think I need to inform you of the status of my uterus.
