Hi ladies! We found out last week that I'm pregnant- I'm guessing I'm about 5 weeks now according to my last period. We are very excited but want to wait till 3 months to break the news, just in case. When are you telliing your family/friends?? I don't know if I'll be able to hold out that long! Here's wishing we all have healthy and happy 9 months!
Re: intro/ when are you breaking the news?
Ditto what PP said. I told my mom/dad, his mom/dad, and my two best friends at 5 weeks (a week after I found out). They all knew last time when I got pg and mc-ed early. They all were so supportive and it helped a ton. I also told my BILs/SILs last time but decided against it this time. One SIL was really upset to find out so early because she was afraid I would mc and of course I did.
This time I will tell BIL/SILs after my 1st appointment (8/13). Hopefully I'll have an u/s asap after that to share with one BIL/SIL that are far away. The other we will give a baby bib to as our "souvenir" from vacation (we conceived on vacation)
BFP - 7/16/12 ----- EDD 3/27/13 ----- Born 4/5/13
BFP - 5/27/14 ----- EDD 1/31/14 or 2/4/15
Congrats and welcome!
We told both sets of parents about a week after we found out. We told our siblings at about 8 weeks. A couple of close friends know. Other than that, we are waiting until the 2nd tri to tell.
Welcome! I have told 2 friends but other than that, we are waiting until 10-12 weeks to tell anyone else (including our parents & siblings). It will be the first grandchild for both sets of parents and I don't want to have them get all excited only to be disappointed. Plus, my MIL means well but she has no filter when she gets excited and we have to assume that extended family will find out shortly after MIL knows.
I am waiting until my 1st appt which I believe I'll be 8 weeks but this is only to our parents.
Hopefully they can keep the news to themselves.
Welcome!
We've told my parents, my sister and H's parents. For us, we've always waited to tell people unless they were people we would tell if we were to have a m/c. We'll tell everyone else once we're in the 2nd tri.
same here! we have a previous loss but i wanted everyone to be excited with us and if something were to happen then we will have them as a support system. i could never wait to tell people i am too excited and would never be able to hold it in
Make a pregnancy ticker
My first pregnancy ended in a m/c at 9 weeks & I had told all of my friends and family before the pee was dry on the pregnancy test. I was glad I told them b/c I needed their support when I unfortunately m/c.
This pregnancy I'm 6 weeks now & only my Mom,Dad, Sister & my very best friends know. DH didn't tell a soul yet. He really wants to wait until my 3 month mark God willing I get there. I am going to try my very hardest to wait until then to tell everyone else too.
It's such a personal decision. Do whatever you feel comfortable with.
