I told my mom, dad and brother and a couple of very close friends. Everyone else will be told in the second tri. Probably announce to our family on Easter
After the first m/c, we decided to wait until second tri the next time. Looking at my siggy you can see that didn't save us any pain - I ended up m/c a week after we told people.
The next time (God willing there will be a next time) we will wait until I am starting to show - in other words, as long as we possibly can.
TTC Since 2007
M/C survivor twice in 2008
IVF twice at CCRM in 2009
TWIN BOYS born in July 2010
IVF again in 2011
BABY GIRL due August 2012
This is a hot subject for me now. Last PG we told out immediate family only and a few close friends. It did suck having to call and tell them I miscarried but their support was helpful. What did suck is that my dad told our whole extended family and last week and my grandfathers funeral I had some of them coming to congratulate me. Others sent cards, some that arrived the day or 2 after m/c. Ugg!
The problem we are having now is when to tell again. My MIL's 60th b-day is next Sunday and we are going out to dinner with the IL's and DH's siblings. We thought it might be kinda nice to give her a present that said "Best Grandma" or something to that effect but we aren't sure. We are both so afraid to get ours and everyone elses hopes ups again in case I m/c again.
I have my 1st appt. tomorrow and right now I am concentrating on getting past that since I didn't even really make it that far last time. Maybe after the 1st u/s, if everything is ok we will tell a few people. I'm kinda playing it by ear!
