Anyone still haven't told??
We found out on our anniversary 11/22 and still havent told anyone yet (especially our parents) I know my mom would freak and I just dont want to deal with the pain right now... How long is too long to wait?? I have my first dr apt on 12/1 and was thinking of telling her after that. Also I should be around 5 weeks and still havent had a single symptom yet. Other than missing my period, I wouldnt have known I was preg, but the weird thing is that when I took the test (at 4 weeks), it came up really fast and it was dark... A friend of mine joked that it would be twins lol, however I dont see the humor in that... I have had problems with MCs before and am still worried but am praying and hoping every day that this one works out (We've made it farther this time than with any other miss)
Wishing all of you a Happy and Healthy Pregnancy

Re: Anyone still haven't told??
I found out on October 22nd, and so far I've only told my two best friends. They knew something was up when we went out to dinner and I didn;t order my customary glass of wine.
No one else will know until after my next u/s. I'll be 12 weeks, and I think that is a safe point to spill the news.
I told 2 girls at work, but our friends and family do not know. We plan on telling immediate family on Christmas (we're cheesy like that). I probably won't tell my friends and most coworkers until January.
Do whatever feels most comfortable for you. I don't think there is any time that is "too late" to tell. My uncle and aunt were living out of the country when she had baby #5. We all found out about their baby when he was born. Most pregnancies aren't as easy to hide, but really you can wait until you are happy sharing the news.
I told my parents and siblings around six weeks, but I don't want to share with extended family and friends until at least January. I really think its a personal decision and there's no right answer for everyone.
We haven't told anyone yet, and don't plan to until Christmas (we'll be just over 11 weeks then). This is our first pregnancy, but we are cautious and private people. If something were to go wrong, we'd rather have the option of dealing with it on our own if we wanted/needed to. Obviously, if we felt the need to share a miscarriage with others for support, we'd still have that option too. Waiting to announce preserves the most options for us.
Plus, waiting to tell means the pregnancy goes by that much faster for your friends and family.
Mama's Clone - 07/18/12
My 10wk appointment with my OBGYN is next Friday so after that I will feel comfortable telling the rest of my extended family. And around or after Christmas, we will tell others that we're expecting.
I'm enjoying the privacy right now of having only immediate family (parents and siblings) and a few close friends be the only ones that know about our LO.
IUI #1 10/12/11 (Bravelle + HCG + Prometrium & acupuncture) = 10/26 BFP! Beta #1=250, Beta #2= 615. 1st u/s 11/8.
This exactly. I had a loss at 8w in June and it was a relief not to have to "un-tell" people.
Yes! We have only told a few people (I more than hubster - I'm a loud mouth and also have m/s so it's hard to keep my run-and-barf a secret from some of my co-workers) and are planning on waiting until Christmas to tell our families. My mom already knows and is keeping it a secret from my dad until we know FOR SURE. We had a loss in July at 10w so I'll feel cautious until then, and having to "un-tell" everyone that we were NOT pregnant anymore sucked! So, this time, keeping it close to the chest seems right!
I really suck at staying pregnant

I had a MC in feb., so naturally I am petrified of that happening again...
Good Luck and HH9months----congrats!
I am at 6 weeks now, and here come the symptoms!
I have had cramp like pains the whole time and sore breasts, but with week six came the nausea! I will just be sitting in my office and it will just hit me. I can't normally throw up unless I make myself, so I have not thrown up yet, but it sure feels like I will at any minute!
We are not going to tell anyone until the 12th week. DH is worried about telling people then having a MC. We just want to make sure that everything is on track first. My first appointment is Dec 12th and I can't wait!
I have told random people, but not anyone important yet. It was actually killing me on Thanksgiving because my sister announced her pregnancy (and used a big sister shirt), thereby ruining my plans to use a big sister shirt. I pouted for a few hours, then came up with another idea for our reveal on Christmas. (Also I hosted and did all the cooking and she got all the pampering. I know, that's silly of me.) The good news is that we will have our kiddos a month apart! Our DDs are 8 months apart and play really nicely together.
It's important for us to wait until Christmas, since my first appt is not until 12/8.

This time I'm not leaving without you.
I found out about a week ago and we still haven't told anyone.
I might tell my parents next weekend but it is still so early. I would like to wait until after our appointment December 19th but that seems so far away!
Our Twin Baby + a Big Girl Blog
And with the delivery trifecra of one twin vaginal, one c-section with general anesthesia for twin B, Spencer and Sidney joined us at 35 weeks exactly on June 18.
I have shared with some random people at work, because I feel like crap, but haven't told anyone really important yet.
DH told one of his sisters, because he was jealous i got to tell people at work
Plus, we'll need an ally in England (where DH is from) to pull off the Christmas surprise.
This our first pg and didn't want to tell everyone and then have something happen. Plus, doesn't it seem like people are pregnant forever now? When I was younger, people almost NEVER told before the 1st trimester was over. Now people say the minute they POAS. I was just worried and didn't want to untell anyone.
We found out on November 13, and have only told my best friend and my mother. MH's parents will find out at Christmas.
DD 15.07.2012
BFP #2 01.18.2014, MMC 04.10.2014 15w5d
BFP #3 07.18.2014, MC 07.31.2014 5w6d
DX: RPL due to submucosal uterine fibroid. Hysteroscopy 12/16. All clear!
I found out at the end of October, and only DH, my doctor, and my midwife know. Well, I told DS too, but he doesn't really understand
I would have loved to tell my family over Thanksgiving, but 1) my mom took my miscarriage even harder than I did, so I really don't want to have to deal with supporting HER if I were to m/c again, and 2) I want to tell DD before anyone else, but she's old enough now to really understand and feel sad if I went on to lose the baby.
I would also love to tell my friends, many of whom have had their own losses before and would be supportive, but most of them work at my company. I don't want news of my pregnancy reaching my boss before I get the chance to tell him myself.
Hopefully, we'll hear the heartbeat next Mon or Tue, and then I'll feel comfortable telling DD and my boss, and the rest can follow.
