Still haven't announced PG - anyone else?

Chattsgirl · June 2011

So I'm 10 weeks now, July 4th is the 12 week mark for me and July 6th is our NT scan and dr. appt. We are planning to wait until July 30 (if I can hide it!). I am not showing AT ALL yet, I was bloated but that has done down as of late and now my clothes fit again. July 30th we are going on a family cruise and we want to announce at dinner that first night.

Also I had a SCH (sub-chiorionic bleed) at 6 weeks, so we are just being extra cautious, I want to see the little peanut again and make sure everything is OK. Plus once my MIL knows, the WHOLE WORLD will know in about 10 seconds!

KateandEd · June 2011

Only my DH and my mom and dad know. We are waiting until at least 12 weeks to share with everyone and even then we are playing it by ear. We are very excited, but my miscarriage made me completely gunshy about telling people. It was horrible to untell. If people want to speculate that's fine, but I am kinda enjoying keeping it to myself.

Mistym05 · June 2011

I have not told a single sole! DH had to tell his "boss" at work because he wants to go to all appointments with me, since he's all I have here. We are waiting to get through my first trimester make sure nothing is wrong and risk of m/c lowers. I am a paranoid pregnant women... maybe it's because I'm in the nursing profession and know/see the things that go wrong but geesh I need to just relax!

We are telling the family on Sat. I think it will go viral after that. I may lock my FB wall until we get back from our visit and then post an announcement

Laura62809 · June 2011

So far close friends and family know.

I have been hesitant to tell work since I see them every day and just wouldn't want to deal with seeing them all the time if something went wrong. However, my m/s is getting pretty bad and I'm not sure I'm going to be able to hide it much longer. I might need to request some flexibility in my schedule and it would be pretty hard to explain unless I told them I was pregnant. I know everyone would be supportive if I tell. I have already had 2 u/s that confirm everything is moving in the right direction and I have my first real OB appointment tomorrow, so if everything goes as planned at that appointment, I might decide to tell when I turn 10 weeks (next Tuesday).

SassyPants150 · June 2011

Our closest friends and parents know. My ILs are biting at the bit to tell the world...I told them after our 11 week appointment that we would drop the news. Only 15 more days to go!

My FIL thinks its stupid that we are keeping a secret...DH asked him if we were to tell everyone and something happened what would we do and he said "Tell everyone you're not having a baby then"...and he really thinks that's no big deal Confused

michaelaskedlauren · June 2011

We've only told our parents, siblings and maternal grandparents. My DH wanted to scream it from the rooftops right after we found out, but I wanted to get through a few MD appts first. We have our NT scan on July 1 so we will tell people after the 4th of July long weekend.

Im waiting as long as possible to tell work (Im right in the middle of my 5 year review), and also "go viral." Ill probably lock my FB page as well so no one can comment (since I have work colleagues who are also FB friends). I figure itll be "public knowledge" around the 4th month.

Melgor78 · June 2011

So far we've only told my mom. DH plans on telling his dad and brother this week, than we'll start to slowly tell our close friends. I don't plan on outing my self on FB and I hope none of my friends do either.

DEBBIE33CASEY · June 2011

Everyone close and important to us knows. We have not yet made an official FB anouncement.

utilaprincess01 · June 2011

We've told our immediate families (parents & sibblings) and I've told two good friends of mine. I'll be telling another two friends of mine in the next week or so and I'm going to tell my goddaughter (who's going to be the baby's godmother) on July 1st.

Our goal is to keep it secret until July 8th, I'll be 13 weeks then. We're going out of the country to see my family and I want to be the one to tell my granparents. I'll probably make a facebook announcement on July 9th after we've told them. We decided to do it then because we're gonna be on a island and there's no way I'm gonna be able to hide my bump when walking around in bikini's for ten days!!! lol

I took down my wall after we told the ILs and a few friends in case someone slipped who told someone who told someone who posted on my wall. Its made me feel much better about the whole grapevine scenario!

May524 · June 2011

Our families know and a few friends. I haven't announced yet on FB. I'm waiting till 12 weeks.

JenTorrge · June 2011

Only my sister, my boss, and my best friends (9 of my prayer warriors) know about our LO. DH's family lives far away and are coming to visit on July 10, so we will tell them then. We still won't be totally out though because DH wants to keep it quiet until he sees his brother in person on July 29. I don't want to wait till july 29!!!

dizzycooks · June 2011

Our parents, my brother and my aunt and uncle know. That is it for now. I figure in a few weeks word will spread on it's own b/c this belly isn't getting smaller.

EDIT: We have had 2 ultrasounds and heard the heartbeat 3 times, always getting stronger. We felt like that's all we can ask for since we aren't doing the NT scan and won't have another ultrasound until 21 weeks.

mandarod · June 2011

We've told our immediate family, but that's it. Will probably tell close friends and rest of the family around 13 weeks. I don't think I'll "announce" on facebook. If people aren't friends enough to hear it from me, I don't really care what they know.

Ditto this. I am not into FB announcements. I would rather tell myself then over FB. They will eventually find out when/if we post pics of our child.

We have told our family and close friends. I have not told work or work friends and do not plan on telling until 15 weeks. I want to tell myself and not have someone else "go viral" and ruin my surprise!

klee411 · June 2011

I'm 9.5 weeks right now and only my DH, sister, boss and 2 friends know my news. It's funny, when I was pregnant with my first son, we told everyone almost immediately. But then I got PG again and had a M/C and it was really hard to have to un-tell everyone what had happened. So I'm super paranoid this time around and will wait another week or so before telling our moms (I have another apt next week) and I'll probably wait until 12 weeks to make it facebook official.

It's hard keeping secrets from family and friends!

SBT1977 · June 2011

I've only told my parents and a couple of friends. We're going to wait until 13 or 14 weeks to tell DH's parents and our siblings and the rest of our friends. I am kind of enjoying the secret though....

Brit's Luna154 · June 2011

I'm in my 10th week right now and we have only told one person, my BFF, mostly because our typical Friday night includes getting together to drink wine and eat sushi. She knew immediately and asked me about it like two days after I POAS. I wouldn't lie to her about it so I came clean and she has kept her mouth shut.

I am going to tell my family this weekend because it is the last weekend that I will see them before I move to India. Well, I will see them at my brother's wedding in a few weeks, but that isn't an appropriate time to tell. We will tell my ILs next weekend as that is the last time we will see them before we move to India. I would prefer to wait another month or so to tell, but I don't feel like it is right to call from halfway around the world to tell our families when we are seeing them right before we leave.

ETA: I'm not into Facebook announcements. I will tell the people who I actually see/talk to regularly, but the rest can just hear it through the grapevine.

ETA: duplicate post-AKA bump burp

A S-ski · June 2011

I don't figure we'll ever "announce" this one. We haven't told any one yet. Legally, you don't have to tell your employer. Because I work with a pt schedule that is booked at least a month in advance, I'll ultimately have to talk to my boss about maternity leave but I'll do that long after everyone knows just because of my bump. I don't know when we'll tell our parents this time. DH's sister told for her last baby after the big u/s. We may do that. Both of our parents live very far away so we may be able to go even longer.

AnnieTater · June 2011

Mums the word over here, too! We have told our immediate families and my bf. But I am telling a few of my closest friends this week. Yay!

luckylindy · June 2011

I haven't made a grand announcement yet, but my mom, dad, and my best friend know. Next week is 12 weeks for us and we're getting our first ultrasound so we're waiting until then to start telling the rest of family and friends. It's killing me though!

Holli0303 · June 2011

It's killing me that our Moms don't know but we are waiting until at least the first scan and until I reach the 2nd trimester. A handful of people know, a couple of close friends that have babysat for me since I have doctors appointments every week and a couple of friends that I wouldn't mind talking about a miscarriage too. I am anxious to make it known though,
