During any pregnancy first to consider yourself before anyone else. Certainly your priority should be number one and once you have considered yourself and have managed to get your head around the whole situation you can then start to think about other considerations. One of these might well be in letting your family and friends know about your pregnancy.

When you do want to do this there will be a few things you will need to think about. One of the first things you will have to consider will be how they are likely to react to you being pregant. Their reaction will certainly be different depending on the situation and whether or not this pregnancy was planned.

By considering their reactions you can then brace yourself for how you will be able to handle what they say. Of course, this is only really applicable if their reactions are likely to be bad, and if their reactions will be good then you will not have to worry about this but can simply bask in your combined happiness.

It may also be important for you to think about when you should tell them about your pregnancy as well. Do you want to let people know immediately or would you prefer to wait a little while until all of the dust has settled? If it’s an early period pregnant stage and you own your first trimester then you may want to wait a little while until the chance of having a miscarriage has gone down. Some people also want to wait until they show a little bit before they let people in on it.

Of course, or you tell first will also be high on your list of considerations. You should therefore write down a list of exactly who you need to tell and who is prioritised right at the top. Most women will certainly find that they will tell their families first and in particular they will focus on their mothers.

Your personality will be another consideration. Some would prefer to tell everyone together and have a large party to celebrate their happiness and get lots of compliments and congratulations all in one. However, other people are more reserved and would prefer to keep the entire situation a little bit more low-key.

All in all, certainly you will have to consider many different things. The most important thing will be in the reaction and the situation of your pregnancy when it comes to how they will be told.
