Anyone else nervous to start actually telling people?

  I'm still at the point where i'm super excited to get to tell family!  I wanted to tell our parents ASAP but my DH wants to wait until the first appt which isn't until 2/3!  I think he's crazy! haha! 

  However, i have a couple of girlfriends that are currently TTC as well.  One is about to hit the year mark with zero success so i'm definitely nervous to tell her. 

  I think you should embrace how happy and excited you are and just know that everyone will be thrilled for you!  Did anyone know you had been trying or will it be a complete surprise??

   GL!

  I told a few of my friends that I was starting to feel ready for a baby, but I haven't mentioned it any of them in months, so I"m guessing they'll be pleasantly surprised...which is the reaction I'm hoping for!

  I remember I was nervous to tell our families...I guess just because I've never shared this sort of information with anyone before (and besides, I get nervous easily). But of course everyone was super excited and happy!

  We've basically told everyone close to us and I was terrified!  I have no idea why, it's not like we're 16 or something, but everyone was really great which helped me relax.  I just feel weird announcing it in the first place.  I just don't like all the attention, I guess.  Oh well.

  Yes! I was nervous getting the test at the dr's office. We had a miscarriage in Oct. Dr told me to have 2 reg periods before getting preg again. Im nervous for so many reasons.

  both me and DH are so excited about telling people!  The only people that I'm nervous about telling is my parents and sister.  Mainly because it will be the first grandchild /niece for the family, so it should be interesting!

  We found out last week and haven't told anyone yet. I actually don't think anyone will be excited or supportive, except my dad who has been trying to get grandkids out of me for years.

  Just me though.

  I'm definitely nervous about telling people.  When we told our immediate families, no one was very excited for us.  It was really disappointing.  I don't want to go through that disappointment again with extended family and friends.  I'd really like to put it off until I start showing, but I don't think dh would be on board with that.

  I hope you get over your nervousness and that when you tell everyone is excited for you.

  We expected my mother and grandparents to be very disapproving,  (we're not exactly in a super great situation right now!!)  but everyone's been totally psyched! I think people might surprise you

  There are some more distant family members I'm excited to tell, but I'm afraid to tell close family. We've been telling friends for a while. Family will be told after the first tri is over. There's a cousin I'd love to tell right now but I doubt it would be kept quite for more than two minutes, then it'd get to my parents, which is a no no.

  We told everyone the moment the pregnancy test came back positive, now I'm really nervous that I'll end up with a miscarriage and have to tell everyone again :X I guess it's good that I'd have the support from everyone, but I constantly wonder if we should've waited.

  I am equally terrified and excited to start telling people. I am engaged and planning a wedding and this pregnancy wasn't exactly planned, although certainly not unwelcome either. I'm just not sure how family will react to the news. This is the first grandchild on my side and the second for my fiance's side. I think most people will be excited but my sister and Father are not shy about hiding their feelings.

  I think it's totally normal to be nervous! 

   I'm so newly pregnant that I want to share, but I'm still too worried something will happen.

  Yea, we're not in a great situation either. Every time a topic of babies comes up, they all go "but nor right now, right?" So I think they will be disapproving since we don't exactly have everything in order right now.
