I want to tell....

MrsL10132007 · March 2009

So DH and I have decided not to tell anyone until after we are sure that everything is normal and progressing as expected (probably about 10-12 weeks). But the suspence is killing me. It is so hard for me to keep this a secret b/c I am so excited about it.

I told the day I got my BFP! I couldn't imagine going through a miscarriage without the support of my close family and friends. It's up to you!

I go back and forth. I get really excited and want to tell. Then, we have had some scares and I have been so thankful we didn't tell.

Yeah, I tried that, but it didn't happen! I wanted to tell out immediate family right away in case anything happened, so I would have a support system. People at work figured it out really quick when I almost lost my cookies during parent/ teacher conferences. Tell who you want to tell.

I posted and blogged about this yesterday. It's killing me!

We still haven't told anyone....It was very hard in the beginning not to tell....I wanted to scream it from the roof tops!....but now I am finding it easier...and it has been nice being able to have our own little secret that no one knows about. We have been able to sit and have good talks about it, and figure out what we are going to do, without the input of everyone else. We have our 2nd u/s next week...we were going to tell everyone after that...but we have decided to tell everyone on easter sunday, when both sides of the family will be together and we can do it all at once.

Just pick a few close people and tell them then. We told my mom and 2 close friends at 5 weeks then the rest after the first ultrasound at 9 weeks.

We told our families right around 4 weeks..... I wanted them to know no matter what happened.

For me I just picked a few people that I would want to support me just in case I had a loss. Having to untell people after a loss isn't fun at all. Especially if you forget someone.

we told both our parents and thats it so far.. waiting for the ultrasound to tell the rest of the family?

loregopar · March 2009

I told my mom and my cousin (she was my MOH), and he told his sister. We're going to wait until we're 7-8 weeks to tell everyone else, because we know as soon as we tell my dad and his parents, EVERYONE will find out! At 8 weeks the risk of m/c is only 5%, and that's as long as we think we can keep it a secret anyways (maybe!)

We're not telling until 12 weeks, either!

This is primarily because we want to tell our parents in person, and we live in TX while they are in PA.

We are going home for Mother's Day weekend for a wedding, and thought that that would be a great time to announce... everyone will be there from both of our families, and hello, it's MOTHER'S DAY!

So sadly I am dying to tell, too... I am close to my Mom and it's so hard to talk to her everyday when she asks, "So, what's new?" ("Ohhhhh, nothing big. Nothing at all. Same old...")

I really want to tell people too but we are waiting until closer to 12 weeks. We live a few hours from both sides of our families so we only see them once a month so it might be easier not tell them. BUT this weekend we are going to my parents house for my nieces 1st birthday party. It is going to be so hard to keep the secret but until I feel more reassured with an u/s we are waiting.

My hubby and I also decided not to tell anyone until 1st trimester is over. God forbid something happens we do not want to have to talk about it with everyone.

ArcticFox · March 2009

It is tough to wait it out, but I am definitely sticking with the plan to wait til after 13 weeks. With my first prengnacy we told at 13 weeks and I spotted from 14-18 weeks (placental issue). And my second pregnancy I miscarried at 13 weeks. So I will definitely be waiting!

MrsL10132007 · March 2009

I am glad to see that I am not the only waiting... at least we can talk to each other about it!!

gna*b*a*ledford · March 2009

DH and I told everyone the day of my BFP!! There was no way we could have waited!!
