When did you/will you tell?

Kat4Carolina · December 2009

We took the test at my in-laws over our Christmas visit and it was written all over our faces so we told ILs. Then I had to tell my parents because I couldn't not let them know. I also told 2 BFFs. I must stop but I can't seem to stop the words from coming out of my mouth!

I knew I would never be a 12 weeker, but I think I will tell work around 8 weeks.

Just curious.

We told everyone right away. I figured that way that if something were to happen that I would have all the support from family and friends.

We told immediate family and close friends right away at 3w3d. Everyone else at 12w.

We told immediate family over Christmas. I originally thought I'd be a 12 week kind of girl, but as time goes on, it's getting harder and harder to keep my mouth shut! I'd happily tell everyone (except work) now, but DH really wants to wait and I'm trying to respect that.

We told immediate family and best friends right away. We just told everyone else on Christmas.

We plan on waiting until 12 or 15 weeks. ?It all depends on how long I can hide the baby bump! ?

I swore I'd be a 12 weeker, but wow was that harder than I expected. We told immediate family at about 6 wks (Thanksgiving) and have since told my close friends now at about 10 wks.

H is telling his friends at 12 wks unless they come up for NYE. I won't tell work until 12 wks.

I had an early loss before becoming PG with this LO, so we were cautious this time. We didn't tell anyone until 7 weeks when we told our close family members and need-to-know co-workers. We just started telling everyone else within the past couple weeks. I feel comfortable now at 12 weeks letting the secret out. We wanted to wait until we saw/heard the heartbeat again at our ultrasound yesterday.

We told as soon as we found out (Christmas Day). Same reason as someone else mentioned...if something bad happened, we'd want the support of our family and friends.

we told right away. most friends the day of our BFP, and our parents a couple days later when we saw them in person. it's really just what you're comfortable with! i know i couldn't keep it in that long

DH and I want to wait until we have the first u/s at 8 weeks then we will start to let the news out. Telling our family first and then friends.

I texted my best friend before I even woke DH up, LOL! And tonight at dinner with friends from out of town, I had to explain why I wasn't having a margarita. Honestly, I knew I wouldn't last long, and I too want the support from family and friends. And I kind of told in a calm, not-too-excited way, like, "Yeah, but it's really early..." I'll get excited when I see/hear the heartbeat

I'll probably tell work around 9 or 10 weeks, since that's when our intent-to-return forms are due for next school year, and I'll be staying home.

We told our immediate families, and best friends (another couple) right away. We started telling more close friends after our first US at 7 weeks. We told work after our second US at 11 weeks, and everyone else around 12 weeks. Smile

First time around we told our close family right away, around 10wks we told everyone. Two weeks later we found out we'd lost the baby shortly after 8wks, and yes this was after seeing the HB. Needless to say, this time around we're waiting until after our 12wk appt to make sure everything is ok. I know everyone says, "you'll have more support from people if you tell them and something bad happens" but the support just got overwhelming and just depressed me even more. Just my experience, that's all!!

My DH was working when I tested, but I texted one of my good friends right away because I had been with her when she got her BFP last summer and we sort of had a "deal" that I'd tell her first when I got mine A close group of my girlfriends knew that we had been having TTTC, so I told them a few days later. We will tell our parents after the first appointment next week, and try to wait until 12 weeks to tell everyone else.

wifeyvana · December 2009

We just told our family at Christmas (8 weeks) and I'm starting to tell some of my close friends. We'll tell everyone else at 12 weeks.

We haven't told anyone yet. This is our thrid though and I am very thin so I am pretty sure I won't be able to wait very long b/c I'll be showing (I think I was showing by 7-8 wks with my 2nd child). I would love to make it to 8 wks before telling but I highly doubt that will be possible. I totally expect I'll be showing already by then..Plus I'm a huge lush (drinking-wise) so it will be painfully obvious if I'm at any sort of social gathering where drinking is going on and I am not partaking.. And I have to attend a lot of cocktail receptions as part of my job so it's not like I can avoid these situations..
