Waiting to tell everyone...

in 1st Trimester
What a coincidence having a BFP the week of mother's day.  Dh & I are so excited, and it would be so neat to tell our moms and grandma tomorrow, but even though it'll be so hard I think it's best to wait at least a month..  AF is due today and I'm having some really light spotting, but still a positive HPT.  I was just reading about 'chemical pregnancies' and it scared me a little!  I'm going to try to keep quiet & hope it sticks..  =)

    You can give them a heads up and tell them that you want to keep it quiet till your 1st apt.  it'll make them SO happy. 

    Congrats!

    I would love to - I'm just afraid if something would happen it would be such a let down for everyone...

    Congrats!  I'm with you.  We are waiting till 2nd tri to tell anyone including family.  Happy Mother's day!
    I give up trying to get a ticker.  I have a DD that is 2.5 years old and is awesome.  Maybe I'll add a quote to distinguish myself.  Hmmm.  How about...

    My theory was that if something happened, I would need my mom to know to help support me.  So I wanted her to have a chance to be excited with me, but she could not tell anyone.  

    Wish you the best!

    Congrats! We told our family at 5 weeks with DD but I think we're going to wait 'til 2nd tri with this one. Mainly because I'm scared of everyone's reactions! :p

    I just got my BFP today and while it would be great to tell our moms tomorrow we decided we would wait until I was in my second Tri

    I celebrated Mother's Day with my mom today. I would have LOVED to tell her but I am just to scared. I know she will be sooooo excited that she won't be able to keep it a secret. We lost our first so I am def very cautious. We have decided to tell everyone on the 4th of July when I will hopefully be in my 2nd tri.

    I found out I was pregnant with DS on Mother's day two years ago. We lied to our entire family since EVERYONE of them asked us that day. We told them all on Father's day instead!

    You and I are in the same boat!  I got my BFP on Friday, and I am dying to tell my parents.  Actually, my hubby doesn't even know yet.  He knows that we have been trying, but he is on vacation this weekend with his dad and brother.  They are getting back late tonight, and I get to tell him the good news.  (I didn't want to tell him over the phone)
