When are you announcing your news??

becky17joe · June 2010

When are you planning to announce your news to your family and friends??

I have told like 2 people. I am just waiting until my appt next week on the 24th to make sure that everything is ok to tell a few close friends

Then around 9-10 weeks, I will tell family and other friends.

We waited until 11 weeks with my son. It was hard, but kinda fun!

We told family and friends last week - announced on my blog on Friday. With my son, we waited until the end of my first tri to tell anyone but our parents. I feel more confident about things this time - I was a ball of paranoia with my son, and I also feel confident that people would be super supportive if something happened, so... cat's out of the bag already!

The only other person that knows right now is my BFF. We are going to tell my dad and SO's parents on Sunday, and I will prob tell my boss as soon as I start feeling sick, but nobody else until my first appt. on July 12th @ 9wks. Then we will slowly be telling SO's brother and sister, and the rest of my family and our friends in the couple weeks following.

Scout05 · June 2010

We told everyone already. Our close friends and family have been a part of this struggle with us, so at this point, we just announce and move forward.

We know how much we will need their support and understanding if we have another loss.

The only thing we are not doing right now is anything like a FB announcement. That seems overboard, even for us.

Flairdd · June 2010

I have told a few people but most will probably be told sometime in July. Especially family since I won't be able to hide my bloated belly for too long in the summer w hen I can't exactly wear a hoody to hide it. But I may tell a few people after i hear/see the heartbeat.

It's so hard not telling anyone, but it's going to be just me, DH and you guys for quite a while. At this point I'm thinking of keeping it a secret until at least 14 weeks. It was just too painful after having a loss, we started telling people on a Sunday and found out the sad news that following Tuesday and we still got congratulations cards from people who didn't know : (

Of course this could change, depending on how everything progresses Wink

I'll probably wait until after the first trimester and hopefully the second dr appt depending on when it is.

Anniee1963 · June 2010

We haven't told anybody yet. I think we'll tell our parents and immediate family in about 3 weeks, so I'll be at least 7 weeks along. We probably won't tell other friends until at least 9 weeks.

sbfrancis96 · June 2010

Announced the day we found out.. DH couldnt old it in.

papagena · June 2010

DH kind of accidentally told an old work colleague that he happened to run into (she asked when we were having another and then asked if I was pg), but other than that no one for awhile. We have our first app't on July 12, and depending if we see the LO, and how the bloat/showing is going (2nd baby), we may start telling a very few close friends. I hope to wait for a bit yet, though.

We are waiting for my dad's 60th bday party in August. I will be just out of first tri by then. I'm really hoping to keep it a secret until then, but I'm going camping with my mom, sis, and her 4 kids in 3 weeks and I'm sure they will all wonder why I'm not drinking. Then camping again with mom and dad in 5 weeks, so hoping I can keep my mouth shut until the bday in August.

happyfebruary · June 2010

My parents, sister and a few very close friends know. I'll tell my boss next week after my first appointment. Everyone else won't find out until after my 20 u/s since I've had a loss past that point.

LTF525 · June 2010

Almost everyone who knows we were going through treatment knows we are pregnant. A lot of them asked if it was successful and I wasn't going to lie about it. I haven't made the facebook announcement or emailed distant relatives, or anything like that. But everyone who is close to us knows.

*Merry* · June 2010

We just found out this morning so we haven't told anyone yet... I am 5wk3d.... We live with Husby's parents so we will have to tell them soon before they notice I am not drinking my evening tea and weekend beers. Since my FIL is dying for grandchildren I think we will do something for fathers day for him. my SIL is moving back in in 2 weeks and I don't want to tell her because she will also be working with me and unfortunatly she can't always keep secrets. We will just have to be careful and thankfully she is not the most observant person and hopefully won't notice until we are ready to tell my work and everyone else which won't be at least until late July if not mid August (we'll see how long I can hide it and keep a secret!) after my m/c in september I am definitly more catious this time. We will be telling my parents and close family when we fly up to visit them in early July, I want to see their reactions and not have to just tell them through e-mail.

AppleRidge · June 2010

I've told my future boss, just so he understood why I wasn't willing to start when he wanted me to. We'll probably tell parents and immediate family closer to 10w, which is after the latest of my losses.

johannaknip · June 2010

After the NT scan. And that will just be family and close friends. We are playing this one close to the vest.

jkchs2003 · June 2010

I told my mom within 15 minutes of my knowing, my husband once he got home and we are slowly telling close family and friends. All parents and my sibilings know. Then a few of our close friends. We told everyone to keep it a secret until after my first appointment on July 1.

ebeemcg · June 2010

we told our pastor last thursday, parents/grandparents on fathers day, friends and other family we will tell as it comes up anytime after sunday.

celestej619 · June 2010

We've already told our parents and a few close friends. We figure we need all the prayers we can get. I have no clue when we'll announce to everyone else. I think we will just be taking things a day at a time.

theprincessPAT · June 2010

We have told our parents.

We will wait until we see a hb at the first u/s to tell our sibilings and their spouses.

We will tell the rest of the world sometime between the first u/s and when we hit the end of first tri.

tfarabians · June 2010

My parents know and my two bff's out of state. But I think we are just going to tell people as we see them for awhile. We plan of telling my bff here on thurs when we go to dinner with them. Sort of hard not to when we go out with them because they would know if I wasn't getting cocktails.... though I sure wish cocktails didn't still sound so good lol!

kbel424 · June 2010

Parents know, and his brother who lives 5 min away from us knows. My brothers don't know yet though. I told my boss yesterday because of some things coming up work-wise. Will start to tell other people as it comes up after 9-12 weeks.

agibson175 · June 2010

We have only told 3 people. we will prob tell after our second ultrasound (to be sure everything is ok) which will be about 8-9 wks i think...

hampson6 · June 2010

My husband has told all his friends already and his parents. This is after i told my mom and sister by mistake. We are so exicted to be pregnant again after the loss of our daughter at 32 weeks last June, and an eptoic pregnency this past feburay. We will wait to tell everyone else on the 4th of july when the are all together which will put us at 8 weeks. We want to tell everyone so bad the whole family took the loss last year pretty hard so this will make them very happy hence why we are telling them so soon.

HappyHeartUSA · June 2010

We told at 6 weeks last time. This time I am hoping to get to the near end of 1st trimester (end of July) before we share. More so because I feel like the more people that know the sooner, it will make it feel like a longer pregnancy. That being said after our appointment in 2 weeks, I am not sure I will be able to keep the secret. I have almost said it to my mom in conversation at least 2x already.

ktsun17 · June 2010

I have known I'm pregnant since last Monday, but waited to tell my DH until yesterday after my doctors appointment, that confirmed my at home test. He would really like to tell our parents on Father's day since his parents are very excited to be grandparents, but being this is our first time-- I'd like to be cautious. However, My birthday is this weekend and my friends will wonder why I'm not drinking at my party and I'll be spending a week in Florida with my parents just about the time morning sickness is suppose to kick in, so I think I might have to spill the beans soon.
