Who have you told so far?

jaminjeff

Obviously hubby knows and my BFF knows.  I probably wouldn't have shared it with her yet (she was just diagnosed with PCOS after trying for a year) but we look at each other's charts on a daily basis.

I'm going to an event this weekend with my SIL and I know she's going to notice when I don't have a glass of wine but I'm hoping to play it off, the obvious kicker will be at DH's cousin's wedding in May, where we'll probably spend the entire week with his aunt, uncle, dad and cousins and there is always wine being poured into a glass in front of me there.  We're trying to hold off this time since we're still kind of scared from our M/C last year and we really didn't even think I had a chance this cycle.

The easier question for me is who have I NOT told so far? 

We have yet to tell our families (minus my sister, I told her right away).  And I have only told a few co-worker so the remaining people in my office have yet to find out.  Otherwise, everyone else knows.

TMNTgirl

Just DH and my BFF. She rents the extra bedroom in our house from us, so there is no way I could live with her and see her everyday and not tell her.

Plus she's studying to be a nurse and volunteers in the NICU of the hospital I'll be delivering at. She loves learning about all things pregnancy and baby related. And our first u/s is on her birthday next week. So she's even coming to the appointment with us.

We have a big family get together with about 30 memebers of DH's extended family next weekend. He doesn't want to tell everyone yet, so it's going to be really hard not to say anything. Especially since the wine is always flowing at these events with his family! But hopefully we'll be able to keep is a secret still.

We are having dinner with both of our parents on the 25th, so we want to tell them then. It's a regular things we do with them every other month. So hopefully they'll really be surprised since it's not like we're taking them about to dinner randomly.

No one knows except you guys and DH!!

Nobody knows but DH. (and you guys, as jenvalet pointed out!)

We are planning on telling close family after our us next thursday (I'll be 7 wks) if all goes well at the us.

canthardlywait426

Weve told our parents, my best friends, and my boss. Only because Im high risk and need lots of appointments. Figured it was easier to just tell her right off the bat.

I told my BFF, she lives in Texas, so I know she can keep the secret from our families, LOL!. It killed me to wait until I could tell my husband, he's always known immediately, he was always the one to check the stick when I thought I might be. (I loved that he got to TELL ME that I was pregnant!) But, his new job has him traveling a lot, and he was in Dallas last week for work & I had to wait 4 days until he got home. I didn't want to tell him over the phone, but I almost did, it was so hard to keep inside. I'm not sure when we are waiting to break the news, I'm sure after the first ultrasound & exam. (4/23) I think we'll wait until Mother's Day that will be pretty close to the end of the first trimester, and just kind of seems appropriate. I've already had a couple functions & several more coming up where it would just seem completely out of character for me to not join everyone for a couple glasses of wine or beer, so I think I'll fake drink. (Use plastic cups & fill with soda instead of beer, or fill a wine glass & walk around with it & tip in the sink or potty or something along those lines.) We really want to surprise everyone, and I just can't think of any reasons to refuse alcohol that wouldn't raise suspicion in anyone's mind!

LittleDucky

Just my DH, you guys, and one friend.  The friend is not my closest friend but she is one of my only friends who has a LO (she has a two and a half year old daughter) and she is due with her 2nd LO in October.  I told her since she has done this before!

I am also planning on telling another close friend who just had a baby at the end of February.  I need a few friends who have done this before and can talk some sense into me when I'm freaking out about stupid little things!

Same here. We planning telling our immediate families after the u/s on May 7th. Everyone else will find out after the first tri is over.

PinkGirlInCali

We told our parents, siblings (I have one sister, DH has 2 brothers) and grandparents. We also each told one of our friends. My best friend is a L&D RN so I wanted to tell her so I can nag her with all my questions.

Only our parents and siblings know.  Don't think we'll tell everyone else until the end of the 1st tri.

JulietL129

Ugh, it's not that we told, but tons of people know. We only originally told my FIL (because he was going in for ER open heart surgery a week after we found out).. and he told DH's little sister (who is 12 yrs old)- who proceeded to tell everyone. We had to scramble to tell the rest of the immediate family. Our families are very close though, so if something were to happen- they would all know about it anyway. Still irks me though.

This, if I can hold out!  I might have to tell my boss next Friday though, which I don't want to do.  She's doing class assignments and I had asked to be switched to a different grade level, but now I think it would be easier to stay where I am.  Doing several months worths of sub plans for a grade level that I haven't taught in 4 years would be tough!

Last night my dad, sister and BIL came over for dinner, so we told them then.  Then DH called his dad and mom (his mom is out working for the summer in Yellowstone, and even though DH's dad was going to come over on Saturday, DH just couldn't wait).

We're struggling with when to tell DH's siblings.  He has 1 little brother and 2 older sisters.  DH wants to tell his oldest sister, because he's very close to her.  However, the other sister is such a diva that she will start WWIII if she finds out she wasn't among the first to know (and if we go ahead and tell her, it is basically the same as publishing it in the paper, the woman has a mouth!)  To keep the peace we'll probably tell her in the coming weeks, so I am coming to terms with the fact the whole freaking world is going to know our business a lot sooner than I'd like.

curlydoglover

Just one girlfriend.  That's it. Not telling anyone else until we see a HB.

I think my sister knows though.  We (me, DH, sister, BIL, nephew) were out for brunch at a place famous for their bloody marys. I'd gotten there first so I was able to order a virgin one without her knowing.  Everything was going fine until I'd finished it and the loud-mouthed waitress asked "Do you want another VIRGIN bloody mary?" and she shot me a quick look. No one else noticed but, still.

We went to dinner last night with some friends that recently had a baby. We told them last night. After dinner we went and told MIL, FIL and SIL.

Tonight we are going to dinner with some close friends and we will tell them. We will tell my family on after the ultrasound on wednesday.

lucyloo10

We told our parents and siblings. I'm waiting until we hear the hb to tell the extended family and close friends. After 1st tri everyone else will know. It's really hard to keep it from everyone!

 I am so glad to finally know I am not the only one! I just find it impossible to keep my mouth shut when I'm excited about my own news! I told DH & my BFF the second I got the faintest line on my 1st HPT at 12DPO. 2 minutes later, after taking a 2nd test with a very clear + I called my mom. That day when I was at work I told 2 of my coworkers. Within 4 days of getting my BFP all my close family members, as well as his knew. By now most of my coworkers know too... it was hard to keep it from them because they all knew we were trying, & once they ask I can't lie & say no because it just seems like bad luck to me to deny my pregnancy.- With my DS i found out i was pregnant when I was 6 weeks, & I'm pretty sure by week 7 I had told everyone I knew. However, I'm sure if I ever miscarried I would wait to tell the next time around. I feel incredibly sorry for all you wonderful ladies who have had to deal with miscarriages, but I'm sure you'll know when the time feels right to tell everyone your wonderful news!

queenbone

We've told our parents, my g-parents, my sister, and a handful of friends.  I am slowly making phone calls and he need to tell his sibs and g-ps.

We kept it  a secret the first time because he wanted to.  This time, it's my turn!

shouldbworkin

DH and one of my sisters.

Crap - I just realized that's a lie.  I forgot that I told my aunt and two cousins.  We were taking one of the cousins out to dinner for her 21st birthday.  When I had seen her the week before (before I even expected I could be pg) I talked up how it was going to be so much fun having drinks with her and I was so excited, etc.  There was no way I could get out of drinking, so I just blurted out the truth.

Me Too, I really was just too excited not to tell.  I'm also a terrible liar, so I figure just tell everyone.  I know they say it's bad luck or whatever, but I have seen bad things happen to people I know at every stage of pregnancy...I say go for it and tell everyone.

We have told noone. We are probably telling our parents together @ 8 weeks. We have had these concert tickets for all of us since November so it seems like perfect timing. This way neither one can get jealous of who knew first. Believe me we are going to have plenty of grandparent jealousy! My BFF and siblings willfind out after our first appointment. Everyone else after the 1st Tri is over.

MegS05

We have told our parents and my brother. I also had to tell my SIL because I am going to be a bridesmaid in her wedding in late July...so I had to tell her that I needed to order a dress that would accommodate an expanding waistline. We are waiting until the beginning of the 2nd trimester to tell everyone else.
