Babies: 9 - 12 Months
"the test" results
I wrote a post 2 days ago explaining I might be pregnant again. Well I am according to a urine test. Just wanted to let you all know! DH and I are still in shock because DS is still soo new.
I started telling family and friends today, tommorow I have lunch with mom (she is gonna freak out in a good way).
With DS I waited until week 10 to tell everyone we were pregnant but with #2 I just feel its safe to tell everyone.
If you are planning on having another baby would you wait a few weeks or just tell everyone???

Re: "the test" results
I don't know. With Max we told everyone as soon as we had it confirmed at the Dr.'s office. But, I was super sick, so I had to tell work or I couldn't have continued to function there, and then if my coworkers all knew, then we really should tell our parents.
Also, I'm not good at delayed gratification, so I don't think I'd want to wait anyway.
I'm waiting till 2nd tri, simply cuz I don't want to put up with the lectures on how we "should have waited" from our parents.... ugh!
Congrats on your pregnancy!
congrats!
we told our parents right away and sisters after we saw the hbs (6 weeks)..everyone else at 13 weeks....I had a m/c the first time we were pregnant at 9 weeks...luckily we had only told immediate family...untelling all of our friends/extended family would have been too much...but I needed the support of my family, so I was glad they knew...I am a paranoid person...so if we try for a third I won't tell anywell til after the first trimester again...
I waited until I was in my 2nd tri to tell everyone about LO. But I've had a m/c and experienced how things can go wrong even when you think it's all fine. My first pg ended at 12 weeks after I told everyone and thought it was fine, and I didn't want to have to go through explaining it to people if it happened again.
I would do whatever you feel comfortable with, congrats!
This! And congratulations and H&H 9 mos!
I will always wait.
ETA: we told immediate family right away the first time - might do that again. Congrats though! It is so funny to me to see all these people getting pregnant with LOs close to my DS's age (here and friends IRL) b/c I am still BFing and haven't gotten my period yet! So it's like not even a possibility for me yet.
We told immediate family at about 5 weeks - if something had happened (i.e. miscarriage), I would want them to know, anyways.
We waited until I was about 10 weeks along and had 2 ultrasounds to tell friends, and about 14 weeks to tell co-workers/boss/rest of world.
Congrats!
I told family and friends at 6 weeks and waited until 2nd trimester to tell everyone else. I didn't even tell work until I looked to big to deny it (18 weeks). I'm a worrier though.
