Anyone else waiting a long time to announce?

supercuteboutique

I'm just wondering if anyone else is waiting until into the second trimester to tell? I think we are going to wait until after our 20 week scan again this time. It kind of makes time go by faster!

For our first we waited till after week 12, but this one I am chomping at the bit! Such a hard secret to keep! I keep going back and forth between telling after our first appointment and waiting longer...we'll see if I can hold out!

We will be waiting until 12 weeks to announce, at the earliest. I'd love to wait until 20 when we find out what we are having though.

We plan on waiting to announce it after week 12 like we did with our first... but I'm finding it really hard to keep my mouth shut. It was my 30th yesterday, so my parents kept LO for his first overnight. My dad kept reiterating, "No brothers or sisters yet!" I almost said, "Too late!" once or twice... but barely managed. It's really tough this time.

ajchou

I've already told some close friends and family, I'm terrible at keeping things quiet! My thinking is, if something bad happened, I would need them for support, so I'm comfortable with that. We will wait until 12 weeks to make it public though. I think everyone has to do what makes them most comfortable

I think we are going to wait until 12 weeks to tell close friends and family. I'm wondering how long I can hide it though. This is baby #3 so I'm not sure when I will start showing. My SIL looked 4 months pregnant at 8 weeks with her third! Eep!

Because we had a mc a few months ago we will be waiting until 12 weeks at least.

I will probably tell my mom and sister a little earlier but everyone else I will wait until 12 weeks. I had a mc before dd and i had told people. It was hard telling everyone when I lost the baby.

Hey Girlies! I have told Family & Close friends but other than that keeping it hush hush until 12 weeks! Very difficult right enough!

Frstimer24

We are waiting until after our first appointment which is may 4 or 8 weeks (if I can keep my mouth shut!) to tell our close family but waiting until 12 weeks to tell others. I kind of feel weird not telling my mom as we work together so I see her everyday and we tell each other everything.

We told his parents and will tell mine for the same reason as ajchou mentioned. If something were to happen, we would want their support. Also my MIL is a family nurse practitioner so it has been helpful to quiz her on pregnancy.

I've already told my parents, I think my mum already knew because of my hormones, random crying and moods lol!! I'll try my best to wait until about 8 weeks for family & 12 weeks for friends. I'm terrible at keeping secrets though, especially exciting secrets :-)
I agree that everyone is different and there's no right or wrong when you do choose to announce it.

Trying to do 12, just wondering when itll show... only DH knows. Hopefully i can keep the secret. Its hard...

We planned to wait and utterly failed. My husband told his brother 2 minutes after we read the test, then I figured that meant my sister should be allowed to know too, which lead to the rest of my immediate family and roommates finding out that day... We wanted to keep it under wraps for everyone else but there is a huge family reunion happening next week and we would rather tell everyone in person than over facebook...soo......I guess friends and coworkers are the only ones that have to wait till the 2nd trimester now lol!

We've told immediate family and I told my work BFF. Trying my best to keep my trap shut! But it's hard.

OurBabyS

Waiting until 9 weeks to tell parents and then friends will follow. No public (social media) announcement until 20 weeks.

RRC216

I most definitely am! Unfortunately I decided to tell the world about my last pregnancy which was my first and I miscarried at 11 Weeks this past Dec. Now I'm due Dec. 17th! Beyond excited, and praying!! I'm waiting til 12-14 weeks ! Do what is comfortable for you!

powellgirl

We were planning on waiting until 8 weeks, but we just couldn't help ourselves, we told our parents on Easter. We experienced a loss in December and our families were so supportive. I'm terrified that it will happen again, but knowing that well have people there for us is comforting. The rest of the world won't find out until well into the 2nd trimester, but it's so hard to keep quiet. Good luck with waiting!

Chichigo

We told our parents and siblings early with our first baby. Then asked my husband if it was OK to tell my aunt around 9-10 weeks, and he said yes, then announced it on FB. I was so mad!

mrsplum+

This is baby #2 for us, and we have already told immediate family and close friends. I think we'll make it public after my first ultrasound (April 22nd), it's too hard being quiet! It took us forever to get pregnant with baby #1, so we're absolutely shocked that we were able to get pregnant again without taking any extreme measures.

Smallangel

This is baby #1 for us!

I am 5w 2d and my parents and hubby's parents knew from last week which was supposed to be the plan as if something goes wrong, they will be there for support.
My hubby slipped up and told his only brother, so will be telling my sister this week after my HCG results but will have to make her keep secret to my neice and nephew until my 1st scan (probably around 8 weeks)

I'm thinking everyone else around 12-14 weeks as that's around when I turn 31, still not sure when to tell my close friends; thinking just before or with everyone else at the same time.

Not sure why but feeling really nervous about people's reactions... Is anyone else feeling the same way? :-SS

dtucker1126

Yessss!!!! This is number 7 for me and I am 40 so I'm gonna get a lot of not so nice comments I'm sure

Smallangel

That's a shame, although I hope not... You think people would be happy about such a special thing taking place regardless!

All the best to you and a h&h 9 months although you must be a pro by now @dtucker1126

ash0924

I'm definitely waiting until at least 12, but I'd love to wait until 20 so we know what we're having....but I doubt I can hold out that long lol

SomedayInMyArms

We are not waiting. I think we will formally announce on Mother's Day (about 10 weeks). Close family, friends, and some co-workers already know for both of us. We have had 5 losses in the last 2 years, so we feel like the more people praying the better. Everything is going better with this one, so we also feel pretty good about telling people even though it is still very early. Plus I haven't felt excited about pregnancy in a while and I just feel good about this one.

@supercuteboutique I want to wait at long as possible to tell anyone. No reason really behind it I just think it's an awesome secret to have! & my sister just had a baby boy over Easter weekend so I want the family to keep the attention on them for a while. We live far away from our family so unless someone decides to visit they wouldn't see my soon to be bump! Still undecided but would at least want to wait until 20 weeks.

Thank you

MissVowles

We want to keep it hush hush on social media but it's so hard to keep it a secret when your so excited. Both of our parents and our bests friends know, which is nice when I need a quick excuse for not drinking! The other day I was told I'm on antibiotics for my throat and that's why I wasn't drinking at girls night, haha news to me but I went with it! We also want the support if for what ever reason something happens

Frstimer24

Anyone else struggling to keep it a secret due to tough symtoms? at first it was a fun and I thought I could wait. But now I feel horrible half the time and friends keep inviting us for drinks. At this point it almost seems more work than it does good.
