Who have you told so far??

I've told my immediate family (my parents and ILs, my sister and my brother and SIL), I told my grandma who lives in Italy, and my 2 closest friends. I don't go to the dr until 8 weeks so I'm so nervous for that. But I think this time around I want to try to wait as long as possible to tell everyone. With DS we told people as soon as we went to the dr at 6 weeks. Thankfully everything turned out ok, this time I'm really scared!

Re: Who have you told so far??

  • We've only told my best friend so far.

    She currently rents our extra bedroom from us. So we told her ASAP so she could start planning since she's gotta move out by October. Plus, she's my best friend and since I live with her and see her everyday it would have been impossible for me to keep it from her.

    Our Dr's appt with an u/s is next week. And we are having dinner with both of our parents on the 25th, so we plan to tell them then.

  • NOBODY knows yet. :)

    We are going to tell very close family after our first doc appt. They will do a us (I'll be 7 wks) so if we see a hb and all looks good we'll tell my mom and sisters that night & then his family the next night (they live a few states away and luckily we already had a trip planned to visit them).

    I know that once the news is out it's hard to control who knows, but we're pretty limited in being able to tell his family face to face because of the distance, so people will be finding out earlier than I would like.

  • We haven't told anyone yet either, but plan to tell my parents in a few weeks right before my first appt.  I want to talk to her about medical history.

     We'll probably end up telling 2 friends that are staying with us in a few weeks.  We're going to a Bacon & Beer Festival.  I think they'll find it off if I'm not drinking!

    We haven't told ANYONE yet!!! :)  I go next week for my first u/s (not sure if they'll be able to tell if everything is moving along normally or not), but we may tell two close friends (one of mine, one of his) after that.  We want to wait til we're just about out of the first tri to tell our families though.  I have to be careful about who I'm telling at work though since being a teacher in NJ is not exactly a smooth ride right now. 

    Lol, I hear ya!! I teach in NJ too, I'm not telling anyone there!

  • We just told our parents last night. I'll tell my sisters this weekend, then wait until the end of 1st tri to tell the rest of the family and friends.
  • wow, i am impressed with the self-control on this board! we've told more people than we should, honestly, but i have a big mouth and i'm so excited! we've told our parents & siblings, our best friends (1 each), and i've told 3 of my work friends who i'm close to. i have my fingers crossed that it all turns out ok.
  • We haven't told anyone yet... We are considering telling some close friends tonight that had a baby a few months ago. We are considering telling our immediate families this weekend. DH sister is in town until Sunday and we will not see her until June. We are leaning towards telling a little sooner than we wanted, so that we can do it in person.

    This is me as well.  H is has told more people that I would've cared for at this point but he's so excited.  Out of our families, my sister is the only one that knows.  We'd like to keep the big surprise for them.  We live out of state from our families so just about everyone we see on a daily basis know (except for my coworkers).

  • Just MH.  I am tempted to tell my sister, as she's leaving to go back home overseas tomorrow.  But, I am afraid to let the cat out of the bag yet.

  • I have only told 3 people, DH's stepmom, my sister, and one of my co-workers.  He hasn't told anyone.  We are telling our families Mother's Day weekend.  I'll be close to 10 weeks then.

  • I have only told my MIL, my Step Mom and my Best Friend. I haven?t even told my Mom or Dad. They both have big mouths and news spreads fast in this family. I am planning to tell the rest of the family at my Grandma's birthday about 8 weeks from now after our first appt. The rest of my friends I will tell probably via facebook or something around 12 or 13 weeks.

  • Strangely enough, we've each (DH and I) have told one person at work - and for nearly the same reason - because we were signing up for our hospitals pregnancy classes and they caught us.  I've also told two dear friends who live out of state. We're trying to wait until mothers day to tell our family.  I have a cousin who is about 2 weeks farther along, and I want her to have some time alone in the spotlight.
  • We've only told my mom. No one else.  After our appointment next week, we'll tell DH's mom and sister.  After the first tri I told my mom she can share it with the world.  I may tell a close friend after next weeks appointment, I'm suppose to be a bridesmaid in her wedding in Oct and I know I won't be able to make the flight since I'll be in my third tri.

  • He's told no one (or just not told me if he did, lol) and I told one friend at work who pretty much asked me point blank if I was. 

     

    It's hard not to tell!!!
