When are you telling?

chellelyru · December 2010

I recently told my bestfriend and my parents that we are expecting #3. I'm not sure when to tell DF's side of the family as well as our DS and DD.

When are you telling? Who are you telling? And if you have other children, when are you telling them?

We have the same EDD.

We told my son, who is 12, right away, my parents, and my DH's parents. We want to wait until our first u/s to make sure everything is looking good before telling some close friends/family.

GL with your decision!

We told our family and friends on Thanksgiving. We have a daughter, but she's a little too young to care

I told my 2 BFs and my sister today. DH is telling his brother on Sunday when we see him and we're telling the family at Christmas. I'm also going to let our close circle of friends know at our annual Christmas party. Work and other acquaintances are going to be told at the 3 month mark.

We'll see if this plan actually goes the way I want it to. haha

My parents, brother, a couple of friends who are also undergoing IF treatments, a couple of work friends, and my boss knew we were doing IVF, so they all know.

I'm not sure when we'll tell everyone else, but it'll probably be after the first of the year. I had to untell a few people last time (very few people knew of my pregnancy), and it really wasn't as horrible as I thought it would be -- instead, I received amazing support.

I've told my sister.

we're telling our parents on christmas, after my 1st ultrasound

I'm not sure about everyone else yet.

I hadn't thought about telling ds at all. oops

Hi! Just wanted to say congrats! I posted a similar question earlier. I think we have decided to tell our families on Christmas. I will be almost 7 weeks, and will have had my first sonogram before then. We are planning to tell DD after we have our appt and sonogram. It's so hard not to tell her, but I just want that peace of mind of having had that first appt. before we share the news with her. Not to mention, I think she'll spill the beans if we tell her too soon!

We are taking DS to the ultrasound appt - so we'll tell him right before we go that the dr. is going to check and see if there might be a baby growing (just in case everything isn't perfect!). We'll tell friends (that weren't close enough to tell RIGHT away) and work people right after the 1st of the year... when I get back from Winter Break.

We are planning on telling my family on Sunday when we are doing our early Christmas before my brother has to go home (he's currently living out of the country). I really want to tell them all together. I think we'll tell DH's bro and our SIL who is my BF tomorrow night.DH's family we will tell Christmas day when we see them all.

I will probably tell some close friends and family now as we see them over Christmas.

DH and I have each told one close friend. We're waiting to tell family at Christmas. Our first appointment is Jan 3, so assuming everything goes well, we'll probably tell everyone else.

If everything looks okay at the u/s next Wed, I think we'll probably tell our families at Christmas, or maybe right after Christmas. Extended family definitely won't know until AFTER Christmas- I don't really feel like dealing with all the questions/shock!

We have already told our close group of friends. After struggling with IF for 2 1/2 years I figured even if we m/c I would need their support. Plus we had a party for DH birthday last weekend and I wasn't drinking so people pretty much figured it out.

We also told MIL and SIL. My parents and DH grandparents will be in town next week so we are waiting to tell them in person. Our first ultrasound is the day before they get here so hopefully we will get to see the heartbeat then.

I am not sure when I will tell work. Maybe at 8 weeks. Not sure if I can keep it a secret until 12 weeks.

We are telling our close friends and family on Christmas we are wrapping presents that tell them!! I have already told my two best friends. I wasn't planning on telling one of them but then she called and she said I have big news for you and she said she was pregnant. After that I had to tell her I was pregnant too. We are like a week apart. She said she wasnt going to tell anyone but she just had a feeling she had to call me! It is so great that we are going through this together.?

For my in-laws we have a poem that I am going to make all pretty and then wrap to tell them. Then for my mom's 3 best friends I got them ornaments that say we're expecting. They are like my moms now! Then for my grandmother we got her an ornament that says Great Grandma since this will be the first for that side of the family. Also it helps cause we arnt telling anybody before the others cause we are telling them all at the same time Christmas morning!! Except for in laws (we will be opening presents Christmas eve!)
