Telling parents...

Did you tell your parents and in-laws at the same time? If not, how far apart?

Re: Telling parents...

  • We told ours within hours of each other.  We found out a few days before our 3rd wedding anniversary, so we called my mom (she lived in NJ, hated doing it over the phone, but oh well) and then went out for a combined anniversary dinner with the ILs a couple hours later.

  • I think we'll be telling them at the same time.  We're going to take them out to dinner and give them each a photo book that I'm making. The last two pages will have a picture from the u/s and my puppy wearing his shirt that says my mommy is pregnant and all I got was this shirt.

    That's a really cute way to tell! I finally got our wedding album (over 2 years later...) and I'm going to put a pic of the BFP in the back, which will be how we tell my MIL. I think we'll just cleverly work it into the conversation for my parents and FIL. (ILs are divorced).

  • I told my mom a couple of weeks ago. MIL, my dad, and our siblings will all find out in a few weeks... maybe around 10 weeks after my first official appt. We saw the heartbeat already, but I don't want to tell MIL until I wouldn't be as upset if it got out on facebook.

  • We told my family first. ?We had a dinner on friday b/c my brother is going back to college. ?Last family dinner for awhile so we thought that was a good time to tell. ? ?My in laws were out of town until today. ?We tell them in a couple of hours. ?For some reason i'm nervous!!!

  • One day apart. We needed to tell my parents (long story), but we decided it was only fair to tell both sets around the same time.

  • I'm having trouble figuring out WHEN to tell them. I am 6 weeks today and of course am busting at the seams to tell at least our parents, but am a little apprehensive in case something happens. What are your thoughts on this?
  • Inlaws found out about a week before my family. My family was out of state so we had to travel to see them.
