How To Keep Hubby Quiet

in 1st Trimester

So I got a BFP this morning, and I plan on telling DH tonight (he suspects something is up anyway). Question is, how do I explain how important it is that we do not tell anyone else for awhile? I'm pretty sure once I tell him our first PN visit isn't until Feb., he's gonna say he can't wait to tell!

Our families are both out of state, which saves any snooping or guessing... but still!

    Its funny.. my DH was the one to say, hey lets keep it quiet for a while. But this same man went and told his entire department and friends!! I think its great your DH will be so excited... Maybe pick a certain date that you want to wait for, and try hard to stick to it!

    Congratulations!! H&H 9 months.  Just explain you'd feel better waiting to tell people until you're sure everything is ok.  The worst feeling would be to have to "untell" people, God forbid if anything happened.  Have fun telling YH!

    Congrats! Sometimes hubbys get really excited about news like this. In fact, mine sent text messages to every phone number stored in his phone. I couldn't believe it. I was a little upset because I was only four weeks at the time. Either way it's hard to keep them quiet for so long because they are bursting with happiness. Try not to get too mad at DH if he slips to family members, friends, or coworkers.

    Thanks ladies! My main concern is just not wanting to have to "untell." I've had several girlfriends who have gone through that process!

     braylei> OMG. I would have been flipping out!! I wouldn't be mad if he slipped to family... but he's a bit of a blabbermouth. At his office Christmas party several of his coworkers approached me about the status of our TTC. I was like, DH, stop telling people this stuff!

     For me it will be hardest to not tell my BFF, or my Mom. And we're all alone in this town, so thanks ladies for letting me share this news with you!

    It is hard to 'untell'. I have had to do that before. But at the same time when we had to do that my husband did most of it and then we had people who knew the situation and were there for us. So it really depends on your preference, if you tell no one and God forbid something happens, you have no one to comfort you (except your husand of course). I'm sure everything will be fine!!

    We found out on a Saturday morning...my hubby *swore* not to tell.  Until, he told my sisters boyfriend at the football game on Sunday afternoon.  At first I was furious but after he was like "buy I'm gonna be a dad & I cant wait to tell" I really couldnt be that mad.  :)

    Well, I told DH last night. After I showed him the positive test, and he let it sink it, he immediately started jumping up and down and asking "Who can I tell? Who can I tell?" lol It was so cute. But, he has agreed to secrecy for now, if he keeps it, I'll be quiet proud. :)
