Anybody spilling the beans early?

YouMe&Bax · March 2013

Just wondering if anybody was going to announce the good news of being pregnant early? We've already told my family and plan on telling his family tomorrow - but I'm itching to just tell everybody. I'm thinking I might wait until 8 weeks or so...anybody else telling everybody that early?

I had to tell work at exactly 4 weeks so I could get moved to a safer job. That sucked for my anxiety. Now I'm just so worried about having another m/c for the added reason that I'd have to share it with work again.

So, basically I really WISH we could wait longer.

We are waiting to tell our family after the first ultrasound at 7.5 weeks or the NT scan at 12 weeks...we aren't sure yet.

The rest of the world won't know until we've had all of our testing back from the NT scan.

The plan was to wait but it doesnt seem to be working so well. Won't make a Facebook announcement til after we hear the heartbeat at my ten week appointment though.

I'm considering it. My family already knows, and most of our friends. It's been hard to keep a secret since I'm still in college - I'm in choir and we had a tour to Seattle about a week ago, and a lot of people figured it out since I kept getting sick. Because of that I'll probably end up completely spilling the beans at 7 weeks, after my first appointment and ultrasound.

I've only told a few people. My mom knows, a couple of co-workers and a very close friend. I was hesitant to tell my co-workers, but since I work in a classroom setting, I decided to tell in case I need to run to the restroom and need someone to cover. DH and have decided not to tell anyone else until after the first doctors app.

I shared the moment the test changed with a VERY tight knit group of friends who were praying for us, mom, grams, favorite uncle, and great aunt who has like 7 great grandkids but comes to stay in FL with us often. My sister we did not tell yet because we did not want her big mouth telling DH's family since she dates the other brother. SO DH has to go tell his family but I want HER to know first because I kinda love her not them haha...so he might pull her out of the house and have her unwrap a onsie that says I love my Auntie to clue her in before telling them since I think she is at their house this week. DH already said if his parents say anything rude or snotty he is going to flip out on them because I keep telling him they are asshats to me lol.

As for the FB friend extended world trying to get a few cute announcement pics done and do by Easter.

We are telling our families tomorrow! So exciting as we have been trying to conceive now for 2 years! We are 5 weeks along and can't hold the awesome news in much longer!

I want to wait to officially announce it until the 8 week mark but we've already told his family, my family, and several friends. It's so hard to keep this secret because we're so excited.

I have told my best friend, my SIL, and my boss. We are telling our families tomorrow.

I wish I could tell! I'm bursting at the seams! However, DH and I decided we wanted to tell our families (in person) first. This will be his parents' first grandchild. With his weird schedule, we won't be able to go see the parents until the end of April, at which time I will be 13 weeks along. Shortly after we've told our parents, we will likely tell friends and make it FB official. I've been racking my brain trying to think of SOMEONE I could tell without the risk of ruining the surprise for the families. However, I haven't come up with anyone. Social media makes it too easy for someone to accidentally spill the beans for us. Plus, I live in a small town so telling a complete stranger is risky business as well... *sigh* Guess I'll just have to sit tight and be patient!

Thanks guys! I am debating on whether or not I'd want to retract the announcement if necessary and if that'd be hard for me or help to have others know. I guess as soon as I have that figured out I will know what's right for me but it's nice hearing others thoughts opinions when trying to decide. :

We live in a different country from all of our family and we really want to tell them in person. I'm hoping that by then I'll have a baby bump to show off. The good news is if I tell people around here the news will not get back to the U.S. so we are good there. The bad news is that we've been married for 13 years and this is our first baby and I'm bursting at the seams wanting to tell people. I think keep it a secret is going to kill me! That's why I come on here... So I can get my baby talk fix.

This is my first and we have already told everyone and made it Facebook official. Hope we don't regret it, but I can't keep secrets like that at all. I'm pretty open about things and I would tell people I miscarried if I did. So I said I should just go ahead and announce it. So far so good. But it does make me nerves. If something happens I will prob so it differently next time.

SweetLaura286 · March 2013

We told immediate family a few days after getting the positive tests. We live right close to them it would be difficult keeping it a secret from them. So parents siblings on both sides know. Next round after my first doctors appointment we will call all of our aunts uncles and grandparents. Some time after that I will make it Facebook official.. LOL I am thinking maybe April Fools Day? Teehee!!!

I won't be telling anyone till I see a heartbeat and even then only a select few. I have had 2 miscarriages early on and do not want to have to go thru the questions if it happens again. I'm staying positive but just being protective about my little secret. I haven't even told my mother yet and I tell her everything.

Unknown · March 2013

We told the world yesterday... (as soon as we find out) there was no way we could have kept the news to ourselves!

Unknown · March 2013

We did exactly the same thing yesterday... we just went with our heart!

DebateThis · March 2013

We have a few people who already know (the ones who don't annoy me and are supportive/don't say stupid stuff) but we're waiting til ~9 weeks to tell the rest of family and probably at least 12 weeks for everyone else, if I can hide it that long.

We have told our immediate family and closest friends, but won't tell the world until we're safely into our second trimester. We lost our first baby days before our 12w mark so I believe in only telling the people you'd feel comfortable telling if something happened. Once you hear the heartbeat your risk drops significantly so it's safer to tell more people. After my experience I'm just too nervous something could go wrong so I'm waiting.

airforcemomma · March 2013

We shared with our families and a few close friends. DH is active duty military so he wants to wait until he's home on leave {hopefully 3 weeks!!} to tell a few more friends so that we can tell them in person. After that we will do a FB announcement for everyone else ... but we haven't decided when that will be.
