It is no longer a Secret! Have you announced?

jessicalynn0828

So as of today everyone knows! I did want to wait longer to announce but I just couldn't hide it anymore. i made it to 8 weeks, that's long enough!!

Have any of you lovely ladies told the world yet?

mommyof2boys922

We have... Well pretty much everyone but my boss.
I am only 5 weeks 4 days! But couldn't wait to tell anyone

flerlgirl

Nope. Almost let it slip a few times by accident but we have only told immediate family. 

TigerLily12345

We haven't told a soul IRL and it's KILLING me.

DH wants to wait until after my appointment today, so I'm hoping to at least be able to tell my parents over the weekend.

jessicalynn0828

I swear if i let him, my BF would have told the world the day we found out. Every day he would ask me if we could tell people... today was the day i said yes lol

katiebartton

We have only told immediate family but might make it public after the NT scan which is in 2 weeks!

tbmadeamistake

Everyone knows.  Everyone.  Family, work, friends, FB...all of the people know.

bhead81

We have only told immediate family and a few really close friends.  We plan to announce on Thanksgiving. 

LovetoLive614

Nope - only my husband knows. I want to wait until after my first appointment on 11/22 but it's starting to feel months away. Not telling anyone has really made me feel like it's all not really happening.

I'd be curious to know of those of you that have answered, or will answer... How many weeks are you?  Have you had an u/s? 

We have just immediate family knowing, I am currently 9 weeks and just had my first ultrasound yesterday.  Little baby was wiggling for us and everything.  Strong heartbeat too!  I really want to tell the world, I guess I am just nervous!

My DH is the same way. Every freaking day he asks. But he has to wait until Christmas. Or at least until after my first appointment. Then I might let him tell his parents only. We'll see though!

Wow, okay... pregnancy brain.. I just looked through all of your tickers and it answered the how far along question!  I am still curious as to if you have had appts that went well and everything!

babygabe614

Only hubby and I know for now. We are telling my mom and a couple close friends after my appointment on Monday, but waiting until Thanksgiving to share with everyone else.

The waiting is KILLING me, but I am so fearful after watching a friend tell the world with a Facebook announcement and then MC days later.

I've had 2 ultrasounds (lots of spotting, turned out to be a Subchorionic Hemorrhage ) and my first appt was today. We were always going to wait until at least our first appt (we wanted to make it til Christmas, but my bloat is starting to give me away).

"Buddy the elf! What's your favourite colour?"

Cherylwang

I waited until my first apt to tell. I was 7w5d and the u/s looked great so I told a lot of people. I still have a few to tell but it's pretty much out there.

fsumom

Several people know but it's not fully out there! I'm 9 weeks and had an ultrasound yesterday! The baby is growing perfectly and has a strong heartbeat of 166.

flojo973

We haven't told anybody yet.  We're waiting until Thanksgiving to tell our parents and families.  I'm a little superstitious so I want to wait until after 1st tri. 

I saw my mom last weekend and it was sooooooo hard not telling her!  And I swear she was looking at my stomach.

crhein26

We've told our parents and a few close friends.  I also had to tell my boss because I've been having a few rough days lately.

oakley84

We have told our families and several close friends. I want to wait another month or so to announce to work and FB, though. I am 8 weeks. Had my first appt 2 weeks ago.

tddampf

We have told! We are still waiting to see some friends in person (will see most of them at a Halloween party Saturday night). But we announced to our co workers yesterday and everyone we have had the chance to talk to since our 9 week ultrasound on Tuesday. It's so much fun to share the news!!!!

LilyGracesMommy

Work, a few close friends (3) and both mine and DH parents ( only told work since I work in a hospital to avoid having chemo/shingles pts)

Plan is after the nuchal to tell Facebook

I had a dating sono which changed my EDD June 8th 2014, I was 7 wks 1day at the sono and saw little bean with a HR of 134bpm

Mommyjess2014

My family knows I told my co workers today with donuts

supgabs

I had an awesome U/S on Monday and made my FB announcement Wednesday so yep, everyone knows! Fingers crossed I wont to have to un-tell

 

ETA: we're ~due date sisters~

nicolemcm

We have told the odd close friend, and my boss, but we haven't told our immediate family as we're waiting to see them in person. I'm 8w5d and waiting also until NT u/s Nov 28

PinkKEL9

We have told everyone! We waited until after our first dr apt/ultrasound. This is our first and we are SO excited. No way we could hold that in for too long.

MollySm

We have told close friends and some family.   All people we would tell if we had a miscarriage.  We have an u/s next Tuesday, so we're hopeful to see a heartbeat then.  I can't imagine telling the world (facebook) until at least Christmas.

EmmaClaire23

I've only told close friends not family yet feeling nervous x

That's super cute!!

Our family and close friends/coworkers/bosses know. Soo pretty much everyone but FB and work? lol.

classicstar28

We've told our families, a few close friends, both of our work places, and our neighbors for some reason (husband told at their Halloween party...guess he's excited).  Tomorrow is my 8 week appointment and, if all goes well, we will announce to the rest of the world probably this next week.

MSUMands

We told my parents and my in-laws last night. They both live 2000+ miles away, so we Skyped each of them. We showed them my son in his Halloween costume, then we said we had bought an alternative costume "just in case it's too hot to wear the fleece one". My DH took him out of view and changed him into his shirt that said "ONLY CHILD - Expiring June 2014" and his name. We will wait until 12 weeks to tell everyone else (as long as my MIL doesn't spill the beans!)

KETTIA2005

No not yet. We will have our first u/s on the 12th and if everything goes well we plan on telling as soon as we leave

girl-23

Family and close friends know. We are waiting til next appt to hear the heartbeat (I'll be 12 weeks) to tell everyone else.

kittenslove

We told everyone last night. Had an u/s yesterday. 

chaysefaith

We're out as of today. My bf commented on one of my fb pics hinting at it, and it must have showed up on a lot of newsfeeds cuz we both got fb messages asking about it almost immediately. So we decided to go ahead and make it fb official.

TigerLily12345

We decided to tell a few close friends and family, so we will tell my parents/grandparents on Sunday in person and 2-3 friends. Trying to go slow though.

Sprinkles86

We told parents, siblings, and our 2 very closest friends immediately after our BFP. We had our first u/s (which was amazing) yesterday, so this weekend we're telling grandparents and aunts/uncles. Everyone else can wait until after 1st tri (right around Christmas.. We're thinking of doing a cheesy Christmas card announcement).

I'm doing cheesy Xmas card announcement. Going to send out a card a with picture of DD wearing a t-shirt that says "Only Child Club, Member Since 2009. Membership Expires 6/2014" there are tons of those type of t-shirts out there. Cheesy for sure, but cute.
