Who's still keeping it a secret?

ohbabyboy · October 2011

I've told my mom but that's it. We'll probably tell DH's parents when we go to their house near the end of October, which by then I'll be 11 or 12 weeks. Everyone else after first tri.

KDR1979 · October 2011

Me! Only 2 friends that have also gone through IVF know.We will tell our parents, siblings, nieces & nephews oct 16 (9wks 6days).We will tell extended family & friends Halloween weekend (oct 31=12wks).Then co-workers at a mtg on nov 3.It is hard to wait, but will be worth it!!

lindy27 · October 2011

We still haven't told anybody. If my first appointment tomorrow goes well we are telling my parents/sister next weekend and my DH's parents/siblings the next weekend. Everybody else will be around 14 weeks.

imimahoney · October 2011

Me. Besides my dh, my boss knows, my 2 best friends (because they just knew.. I didn't tell) and that's it. Everyone else will find out at 12 weeks.

mrs incognito · October 2011

The only other person who knows is my neighbor, who was with me when I had a blood sugar crash while we were at the park with our kids. I wanted to let her know why it was happening. If not for that, it would still be a complete secret.

My first appointment is on Wednesday, and we will be seeing my parents this weekend and will tell them then. DH wants to wait to tell his dad in person when he comes to visit in a month.

TBBrooks · October 2011

We told our immediate families (parents and siblings), and I've told one close friend/coworker since we eat lunch together everyday and lately I don't want to eat. We're hoping to tell the rest of my family at Thanksgiving (I'll be around 13 weeks), and everybody else then. I want to surprise my family, so I'm not sharing it with anyone else because I don't want it getting out on facebook or something.

gervaisj6 · October 2011

We still are. Only close family and co workers. No friends yet.

Cercamom2011 · October 2011

We told my parents and the people at work. We were waiting to tell the rest of our families until a few other things worked out.

LisaBea · October 2011

So far Ive told immediate family, close friends and co-workers. We live so far away from our families, I had to tell people here. Plus, with our work, co-workers are going to find out one way or another and our bosses need to know as soon as possible.

lissa339 · October 2011

*raises hand* I would have told my best friend after our U/S on Friday but DH insists that our parents get to know first.

MrsVeldy · October 2011

We are! I told my best friend but that is it. My first appointment is on Thursday but we still plan to wait until Thanksgiving.

FroggyFarts · October 2011

I've told my cousin and a good friend. But we're not planning to tell our parents until after the first trimester. We had a miscarriage earlier this month so we don't want to tell anyone, just in case.

Tsugarlove99 · October 2011

I told my best friend that's it because I had a miscarriage in May. I'm waiting until after the 1st trimester to tell everyone else. My 1st pregnancy we told our closest family and some coworkers and it sucked to untell people. I don't want to go through that again. I told my best friend because she knows what's it like to have a miscarriage and she would be very supportive if I had another one.

lena0210 · October 2011

We waited until 13 weeks to tell anyone with DD and I would like to wait that long with this one too. DH wants to tell family after our first ultrasound on 10/12 but I just feel more comfortable waiting until the first trimester is over, I feel like it'll jinx it or something.

LittleHokieOkiLove · October 2011

Immediate family and a few of our closest friends know, but that's it. We're trying to keep it off Facebook until our first ultrasound at 10 weeks (Halloween!).

marielovestimothy03 · October 2011

We are for awhile. We just found out on Saturday morning and it was a huge shock. I'm not even sure how far along I am (so I might be a June mommy). We're going to visit family around Thanksgiving so we'll tell them then and then make a public announcement around Christmas. We told right away with our first, and then family @ 6 weeks and the rest of the world @ 9 weeks with our second.

sabrina69barnes · October 2011

Some family and friends know but a lot of people still don't. The only people I really don't want to know for a while are our kids. I want to wait until I'm in my 2nd tri in case we have another loss and 9mo is a long time for small children to wait or something. We will probably tell them at Thanksgiving.

ET131 · October 2011

We've told our parents and close friends but that's it. We aren't telling my brother and his wife and the rest of the world until the beginning of the 2nd trimester.

KSbride_to_be · October 2011

Just dh knows. Hopefully I'll tell my sister this weekend. We'll tell our parents end of October, probably.

Tippy05 · October 2011

Only my spin instructor knows. I was supposed to start a hard core bootcamp with her this week and had to tell her why I wouldn't be there. Other than that, we're telling my immediate family this weekend and everyone else after our next appt, which will be about 11 wks.

hurricanelydiaa · October 2011

I haven't told any of my family yet. DH told his, which I'm fine with, but I want to wait until the first ultrasound before I tell mine. One more week!

nicole0066 · October 2011

We have one set of friends that we see all the time and they knew we were trying so they know. DH's immediate family also knows and we will tell my parents this week. Other than that we will be keeping it a secret until the end of first tri/beginning of second tri.

JessicaC128 · October 2011

We've only told three people. It's been more difficult for DH to keep it a secret than me. I don't want to tell anyone until after either 12 or 14 weeks. I keep explaining to DH that we shouldn't tell the masses yet especially since our RE hasn't released us to our OB yet due to concerns.

MsVolley02 · October 2011

I have only told one of my co-workers. Last time we told our families and then went in to find out it was a blighted ovum. It was heartbreaking to tell them about that so my DH is hesitant to tell them again. Our appt is in a couple weeks and as long as the U/S goes well we will be telling everyone that day!

appylovee · October 2011

My boy friend seems to have a very large mouth. I intended to keep it a secret til about 12 weeks.. He had other ideas (even after I asked him to wait) He told his father, who told his sister, who told EVERYONE at the bar she works at & his family.. Needless to say I'm slightly pissed off. I have told my three bestfriends, thats it. I'm going to tell my mother, step father & dad this weekend, I want to do it before anyone else does.

QueenofAnything · October 2011

I've told BFF, but that's it. We're definitely waiting until after our first appt to tell anyone else. We want to tell our family in person and they live 2-3 hours away, so it might be some time before we tell them. Like probably around 12 weeks.

Dwinalsinlove · October 2011

I just told my two best friends, my sister, my parents and my aunt and uncle. The only reason I told my uncle and aunt is because they knew about my previous loss and were super supportive. Also, he is battling lung cancer and looked like he needed some good news the other day. It was worth it to see a smile on his face.

We will tell everyone else around Thanksgiving.

MrsB4E · October 2011

I am 6 weeks and I just told my bootcamp instructor she asked why I did not show up the last week of classes and I told my coworker since I am the only full time employee and she only works 10 hours a week i needed to talk to her about scheduling so that she be here to cover my doctor appointments.. I am on vacation next week and go for my first ultrasound....... as long as everything is ok at the ultrasounds i plan on telling bil and sil and then my bro and fsil... i am due 3 weeks after their wedding so i want to let them know and talk about the bridesmaid dress.... then the rest of the family around thanksgiving and public around christmas

KimberlyE715 · October 2011

I've told the lady who helped me buy a dress for my brother's wedding when I'll be 10 weeks, my yoga teacher and my dentist. It's killing me not to tell other people. I'm hoping my DH will give me the okay to tell my mom after this week's U/S. We plan on telling his family at Thanksgiving (14 weeks) and no word on when we'll tell my family.

MRSR08 · October 2011

NO ONE! Its killing me. Only DH and I know, but I keep wanting to tell my parents and his parents. We want to wait until after my first appointment which is the 21st. It's killing me though, especially since I see my mom almost every day and my sister is a senior so we see them on the weekends for some of her athletic stuff.

johnson617 · October 2011

We've told immediate family and few of our closest friends. More people are starting to find out, but it won't be common knowledge until the end of the month or after our next ultrasound on the 17th

SometimesRunner · October 2011

We haven't told a soul yet. We go in for our first appointment on the 21st, but we probably won't tell anyone until Thanksgiving, when I'll be about 13 weeks. That seems like an eternity away!

ELCJet · October 2011

We've only told our parents. I'm 8 weeks 1 day today but don't want to put up a ticker until I have a chance to tell some of my local Nesties in person! We have our 1st appointment tomorrow so I might feel more likely to fess up at work after that time.

rsrs807 · October 2011

We told our parents and siblings yesterday which was fun. Now I feel like I have people to talk about it with so it kind of takes some of the "edge" off so to speak. We arent telling anyone else until we're out of the 1st trimester.

TBsquared · October 2011

Our parents and siblings know, and I've also told 2 co-workers because we talk about EVERYTHING but thats it! Were making a trip to our home town this weekend for thanksgiving (Canada) and were going to tell our grandparents and other family members and close friends.

I plan to tell everyone else on Halloween when ill be almost 12 weeks.

BelleIsa · October 2011

We've told family - but will wait until 10-11 weeks to tell close friends. We'll wait until 14-15 weeks to post on Facebook. I don't know when I'm going to tell my boss. She keeps commenting on my weird new eating habits and I told her I was on a new diet and that DD wasn't sleeping well to explain the exhaustion...

Don't know how long I"m going to be able to hide this bloat baby though. Thank God for pashminas! They hide pretty much anything!

bobbs420 · October 2011

We have only told family and a few close friends. I have also told my 2 co-workers that I'm closest to, because I have been so tired and nauseous. I will wait until my next app which is at a little over 12 weeks, to post anything on FB or officially announce it.

jossalyn617 · October 2011

My husband and I have only told 2 couples who are very close with us because not drinking for 3 weekends in a row starting causing some questions, we had to tell them. We plan on telling our family after our u/s on Thursday. Can't wait any more. I'm so excited!

gmack68 · October 2011

I had to tell more people than we wanted to. We were planning to be married on December 10th, but I was nervous I wouldn't fit in my dress and also decided to do something less stressful than the big wedding we were planning. I told the girls in my bridal party, who are my best friends, as well as my mom, his mom and his 2 brothers whose children were our ring bearer and flower girl. My fiance is scared this will jinx us, but I am staying positive.

GPhiBGirl · October 2011

We're still keeping it a secret. Only my sister and her husband know. We plan on telling everyone at my birthday dinner at the begining of November. At that point I'll be 11 weeks.

masonshar@gmail.com · October 2011

Three of my best friends know - mainly because I was a bridesmaid for one of their wedding's this past weekend and I had to give a valid reason for asking for grape juice for the toast..... Normally I'm the drinker out of our group, so they would have known immediately if I stuck to water. Having the grape juice allowed me to pull off pretend red wine and hide it from the rest of our friends at the wedding!!!

We're hoping to tell my parents tomorrow, and hubby's family next weekend when we go to their neck of the woods...... everyone else will have to wait until close to Thanksgiving!
