No such thing as a secret!
DH & I decided to tell our parents immediately when we got our BFP. Our plan was to wait until we at least heard the heartbeat to tell the rest of our family,but of course that plan crashed & burned! Every other day my mom is calling me telling me who else knows! Surprisingly she hasn't spilled the beans but my dad & brother couldn't help but tell people. They were the last 2 I expected to spread the news. Everyone's so excited I can't even stay mad at them. I've learned my lesson for next time though.

Re: No such thing as a secret!
Yeah we told everyone almost immediately after our BFP with DS and it was nice to not have to keep a secret. I was constantly worried about something going wrong.
This time we are keeping it mum for a while. Someone that S/O works with just had a miscarriage and I think it's made S/O a bit nervous. I HATE keeping secrets, and today was horrible not being able to tell my family at Easter. I think we will definitely tell on Mothers Day because I don't think I can handle another holiday with this secret :P
Im so excited I just want to tell everyone but on the flip side I was so nervous something may happen but it's out now so all I can do is pray & wait to see what happens.
Have you spread the news or are you waiting?
This happened to us last time - MIL told her whole family even though we asked everyone to keep it a secret. It saved me from having to announce, but it did make me more stressed in 1st tri because I always feared all the people I'd have to tell if something went wrong. I guess everyone just gets so excited, they forget that it's really not their secret to tell! This time we specifically told both families that we'd really like them not to tell anyone and gave them our reasons why. We'll see if they actually listen...
