Pregnancy is a monumental milestone, and when achieved through surrogacy, it’s an even more unique and joyous occasion. However, as intended 
parents, deciding when to share the news that someone else is carrying your child can feel overwhelming.
Early Announcers
For some intended parents, the excitement of a positive pregnancy test is too thrilling to keep secret. Sharing the news early allows friends and family to join in your joy and provide emotional support right from the start. This can be especially meaningful after a long and challenging road to parenthood.
An early announcement also invites understanding and empathy as you navigate the emotions and stresses of early pregnancy. While the surrogacy journey is unique, sharing it with loved ones can foster a sense of community and celebration.
After the First Trimester
Many intended parents prefer to wait until the first trimester ends, around the 12th week of pregnancy. By this point, the risk of miscarriage significantly decreases, providing a sense of security before sharing the news.
This timing also aligns with the completion of early genetic testing, which can offer additional peace of mind. Announcing your surrogacy pregnancy at this stage allows you to share the news with confidence while still giving you time to enjoy the experience privately.
Late Announcers
For some parents, the decision to wait until the third trimester—or even after the baby is born—feels right. This approach may appeal to those who want to avoid unsolicited opinions or criticism during the pregnancy process. With surrogacy, the absence of a growing belly allows for this unique option, letting you enjoy privacy until you’re ready to share.
The Right Time Is Your Time
There’s no one-size-fits-all answer for when to share the news of your surrogacy pregnancy. Some families want to celebrate immediately, while others prefer to wait for the right moment that feels secure and personal. Trust your instincts and make the choice that aligns with your comfort and circumstances.
