Am I the only one that hasn't told yet?

So just 3 people outside my DH and I know about the baby.  I am planning to tell my family this week (we just had a good NT scan).  I CANNOT physically go see them (too far) but was thinking of emailing a u/s pic w/ "Yep. March 16, 2012". What do you think?

Also, is anyone else as freaked as me to tell? I had an early loss last year, but I feel like if I tell, something will happen. Silly, I know, but still in the back of my mind.  But after the scan today, I'm feeling so good, I want to share...but that stupid, nagging voice in the back of my mind is still talking. Anyone else?

We have not told. Our NT scan is Thursday and I guess we will tell our parents after that, although frankly I'd like to keep it a secret longer! We had two missed m/c last year and didn't want to put our families through that again.

We told our best friends right away and waited to tell our parents and close relatives until 6 or 7 weeks.  Word spread to some extended family, damned grapevine, so we put it up on Facebook.

I understand waiting until 2nd tri, but in our families, it's not possible to have any sort of medical problem (such as a miscarriage) privately, so everyone would find out if something went wrong anyway.

We would tell them if something went wrong, we just didn't want to have to deal with their worrying throughout the trimester, on top of our own worrying. I liked having total control over the news and not having to answer anyone's questions.

We haven't told anyone other than a few close friends.  I'm waiting a while I think to tell parents (maybe 16 weeks?).  We had a late term loss back in May (at 34 weeks) so I just want to get a few doctors appointments under my belt (and have as much information as possible) before I let the cat out of the bag

We haven't told anyone either. Although last pg was successful the first pg ended in m/c so still feeling somewhat anxious. We plan on telling after NT scan too.

We emailed u/s pic last time and surprised everyone. My phone did not stop that whole day.

I'm glad I'm not the only one feeling this way! Yeah, I'm not going to do a FB blast either, just b/c I don't want to have to untell the "whole world".  Just the family and a few more friends.  And I'm gonna make it clear to relatives, if you decide to tell cousin so-and-so or whoever, you get to untell if anything happens (God forbid).  It's so hard when you want to be excited, but still cautious! Thanks for the sympathy girls and good luck!

p.s. Go March 16 ladies
