When is everyone planning to tell?

Magallyta · October 2012

Hi all I am pretty new to the June boards & completed excited and happy with this beautiful journey.

When I first found out I was pregnant, I automatically said I would announce to everyone at 12 weeks.

However, I am in my cousins wedding in June ( out of the country), I have only been at my job 3 months ( not sure of the NY laws), plus family & friends slowly noticing I am not drinking at parties. My in-laws have been the funniest they totally know but I will not say anything b/c they will tell the world.

My first pre-natal appt is next Tues. so I will decide then. When do you plan to tell everyone?

We will probably tell family after my first ultrasound on 11/5...not sure about everyone else. I may wait until around Thanksgiving.

mrsjilka · October 2012

We will tell our immediate families after my first appointment next week (assuming everything goes well). I would like to wait until after 12 weeks for everybody else if I can keep my husband's mouth shut. (He's already blabbed it to a couple people... sheesh...)

I told everyone after my first ultrasound at 8 weeks

AZAmy77 · October 2012

I have a feeling it will come out soon with friends since I won't be drinking and I know once I dont' have a drink, they are going to think it. I don't think I'll be able to say I'm not if anyone asks.

We had an ER ultrasound on Monday - everything looks great so I feel way more comfortable telling people now. My inlaws are coming into town this weekend - we will tell them then; we see my parents in a week and will tell them then. We are telling some of our friends slowly as we see them but will mostly do it right before Thanksgiving. We are also announcing to the rest of the fam on Thanksgiving via FaceTime I think.

I would tell my grandparents when I go home next week but I am going for my sisters bridal shower and refuse to take any attention away from her!

This question gets asked quite a bit. If you look back a page or two you'll find a thread with lots of responses.

We aren't telling anyone except out parents until at least Thanksgiving. Maybe even later than that. I had a loss at 12 weeks and it is impossible to untell all those people. Although you are never truly in the clear, we still want to wait longer this time.

arkeenan · October 2012

We told our family last week. They new we were trying and ask about it every time we see them, and I know I wasn't going to be able to keep it a secret if they did ask! I've also told those really close to me, only the ones I wouldn't mind calling me to check on me if I have a m/c. Then at 12 weeks (possibly earlier if I start showing too much, which is a long-shot) we'll tell everyone else.

skio · October 2012

My parents know. In laws will know on thanksgiving at 10w. My extended family will know on Christmas at 14w. Friends, not sure. Most will be after 12w.

AlllisG · October 2012

We told both sets of parents right away and I told my two sisters because they are both difficult to keep secrets from. We plan to tell my brothers and DH's siblings right before Christmas and then everyone else after they know.

Suzi-G- · October 2012

We'll probably tell our parents (and maybe siblings) after 1st appt & ultrasound on Monday. Everyone else, probably around 12-13 weeks, I hope to keep it quite at work as long as possible, we'll see how soon I start to show.

LiLi23 · October 2012

We'll be sharing with our parents and brothers after our dating u/s. Not sure when that will be, but my first appointment is tomorrow, so I'm guessing maybe two weeks or so from now? Everyone else (extended family and friends) will find out after the NT scan around 12 weeks.

jennkg3 · October 2012

I told my mom and dad right away and we will tell dh parents this weekend...other than that I will wait till after the first U/S which will be somewhere around 12 weeks...maybe a close friend or two but we waited with dd as well.,,,I just want to make sure all is well first

deltagirl79 · October 2012

I would like to hold out until Thanksgiving, I'll be 10.5 weeks. I don't know if we'll be able too. We are going on vacation with DH's family next week and if my m/s gets bad they will all know. None of them can keep their mouths shut though so once they know we will have to start telling everyone.

I have already been asked three times since I stopped drinking. I hate lying to people's faces but really who asks that? If I haven't told you do you really think I'm going to cop to it just because you asked me directly?

dmlk413 · October 2012

I think we are waiting until Christmas when I will be 14 weeks unless I start getting really fat and have to announce it early.

Ethansmommy18 · October 2012

hopefully tomorrow if everything goes well at my app and US

gymnast16 · October 2012

My parents and brother know, along with a few close friends. I will not tell my in-laws until the end of Nov. and the rest of the world will know at my daugthers second birthday party (Dec. 9th)

emilysmommy2010 · October 2012

We want to wait until 13 weeks so that would be in December.

GraceInCA · October 2012

When we enroll this child in Kindergarten.

No, kidding.

We will probably tell family and a few close friends around Christmas, and go "public" as late as possible - maybe early Spring.

InsyNCurtis · October 2012

Most of my family already knows... They have big mouths. DHs family does not know yet and neither do a lot of our friends. After the scare I had at my first u/s, we will decide after our next u/s next week.

mooreinmay · October 2012

We are telling our family at Thanksgiving so we can do it in person. It will also be a week after our first do tor apt.

That is if we can keep it to ourselves that long lol.

kimberly_ann81 · October 2012

We've already told (kinda by accident).

Our parents knew we were trying so they had been asking. My mother asked me if "the rabbit died." I had to look it up to figure out what she was talking about (basically early type of pregnancy test and answer for positive test). Since I had no idea what it meant if figured I could put it on my facebook so my mother and sister-in-law would know. Well, evidently a lot of people know what it meant. Oh, well.

BLT20051 · October 2012

My boss and coworkers figured it out since I turned down booze all week while we were OOT.

My family will be told in person the week before thanksgiving and his will find out on turkey day.

megaroo64 · October 2012

Originally, we were going to wait to tell anyone outside of immediate family until Thanksgiving. However, I have been outed so more people than I intended know right now. I wasn't going to tell my soccer team until I quit, but my niece knocked on my stomach like she was knocking on a door and said "hello in there" so that was basically impossible to explain away. And I almost puked in my office the other day and basically had to tell my office mate before he sprayed me down with antibacterial which would have certainly made that puke a reality!

aesthyerin · October 2012

We told my parents and his mom and two close friends so far. We are planning on telling the rest of our family after our first appointment on Monday if all goes well. I'm not sure when we will FB announce, maybe in December.

Shpointers · October 2012

My parents and my IL's know. I have an U/S tomorrow and if things go well we will probably tell others when we get back from Europe in 2 weeks.

jasmine21 · October 2012

We plan on spilling the beans on Thanksgiving because quite frankly, my husband and I are HORRIBLE at keeping secrets.

Mommy2CB · October 2012

Told my 2 BFF's the day I got my BFP (tell them everything), and my SIL (who I was pregnant with DS with, and she is also pg again too) a few days later. DH told his parents after our 6 week U/S (all looked good!).

I'd personally like to wait to tell anyone else until after 12 weeks (around Thanksgiving) but we MAY tell siblings/some friends after our 8 week U/S next week (if all looks good). We'll see. We've had a loss before but we did have corrective surgery (uterine septum) and we now know I need to be on progesterone supplements shortly after a BFP so which cautious I am trying to remain positive and just enjoy our pregnancy.
