Should I really wait til I'm 12 weeks before announcing my pregnancy?

You know why people wait till after 12 wks? That's when the pregnancy is stable and chances of miscarriage is decreased. You wouldn't want to disappoint others, right? Plus, *touchwood* if the pregnancy doesn't go well, you will feel hurt and maybe double or triple hurt if people keep asking about it. However, if they are your very close friends and family, you may share with them since they will share your happiness and stand by you to support you always.
