Came out to our parents last night * Update *

stellar77

*Edit * I did it. I came out on FB.

 

 

But I just can't seem to come out to everyone else (FB).

I'm 11 weeks, we had our sono last week, everything looks good. 

 Would you wait 2 more weeks to come out of first tri? Or go for it?

Congrats on coming out to your parents!!

I'm in the same boat about wondering when to come out to everyone else. We had out NT scan (things looked great, still waiting for the blood work to come back though) and I don't want to tell anyone else!

We have only told our parents and siblings. Next will be grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins (we have a ton of extended family) and I'm seriously considering waiting until our anatomy scan to post on FB.

I think I'm just scared that something will go wrong between now and then, and I just don't need the whole world of FB knowing my business.

I say do what you want. If you're dying to tell the world, then go for it. If you'd feel more comfortable telling when you're out of 1st tri, then go with that.

These are my fears. I won't see the Dr. again till July 17th, I go for the MaterniT21 testing the 9th - even then it'll be what another 10 days for those results.

I know I'm probably over thinking this.

I'm also probably overthinking it! I probably won't feel comfortable until the baby is actually here, but I'm hoping that certain milestones will make me feel at least a tiny bit better.

And of course I just asked my husband if he told his mom not to say anything.

He says No, and he's sure the whole world knows already.

 Great.

We told our immediate families early on.  We told some of our extended family and close friends between 11 and 12 weeks.  I told work at 12 1/2 weeks (mostly because I didn't want to hide my baby bump anymore).  We are continuing to tell friends in person or over the phone.  We will probably wait to say anything on Facebook until around 15 weeks.

Well, I told MY mom not to say anything to anyone because last time she and my dad told everyone.

I went to my cousin's bridal shower yesterday (my mom did not go). And in front of all my aunts, my grandma says "so I hear you have a surprise for me?" I was playing coy like "A surprise? I don't know anything about a surprise" and then she points at my belly and is like "THAT surprise?!"

So I was outed to all my aunts and a couple great aunts on Saturday. 

We still aren't telling DH's extended family until after our next appointment (which was our plan with all of our extended family). And I'm definitely not putting anything on FB for quite some time.

Well, I personally would wait, but that's just me. And it's what we're doing this time around.

Right now, only our parents knows. Close friends and family will find out this week, then I'll make it FB official either later this week or next week.  So I'll be out of the 1st tri when it goes public.

we waited untill all close family knew, and then after we had another US.  ours happened to be at 12 weeks 1 day. 

I love your picture in your siggy!  So cute!

We told everyone. I knew once the siblings knew word would fly around and I wanted our friends to hear from us, not someone else.  After hearing the heartbeat at 10.5 weeks we told everyone at 11.  

I'm in Alberta, and here we only have 1 ultrasound around 20 weeks unless Dr. thinks something isn't right or you are high risk.  Other then that we just hear the heartbeat with a Doppler at each appt.  So it'd be a long wait to tell if I had to wait until our ultrasound!

We told my parents at 5w, DH's mom at 10w, my grandparents and one aunt and one uncle this past weekend at 10w5d, and we are planning to call more family this weekend at 11w5d. We plan on making sure we tell all of the family first and then we will be making it "fb official" at 13w. 

It's all a personal preference though!
