when and whom to tell

GeauxM&V · March 2013

Hi ladies!

I just wanted to hear some input about when and whom you are going to tell about your pregnancy. I know you have already beaten this topic to death at some point, but i am curious to hear your answers. Do all of you typically wait til 1st tri is over?

Part of why I am asking is because I am starting a new job and moving from Chicago to Louisiana in August. I told my new director back in December that I was TTC, and she seemed genuinely happy for me and didn't indicate that that would be a problem. She even suggested some options for my schedule that worked for her while she was pregnant.

As for my in-laws, we may tell them this weekend during Easter, but I am only 2 weeks, will be 3 weeks by then. Do you all think it is too soon to tell them?

TIA for all you help!

We told our parents right away--before four weeks. Then we told my best friend and our siblings. Since then the news has sort of trickled out to our other close friends.

Today we heard the heartbeat so called my grandma and told her. We have th

I ovulated on the 12th or 13th of this month and got a BFP this past Saturday. Am I counting wrong? Please forgive my ignorance if I am wrong.

I'm sure it's different for everyone. We told our parents this past weekend and are okay with them spreading it to family. We won't mention it or say anything to anyone ouside of family until we're into the 2nd trimester. We'd want family support if an

I told my mom immediately but would need her support if I had a miscarriage. The rest of the family food out after our first ultrasound at 8 weeks. At this point the risk of mc goes down considerably. The rest of family and friends will find out Thursday

I told my Mom right away b/c I was really nervous. I told 2 close friends so far b/c I'd want their support if anything happened. I also told my brother / SIL b/c we were going to see them this past weekend and I knew it would come out (good thing I di

I assume you mean you are 4 weeks and will be 5, right?

Only me and DH know. We will tell our family and then friends after the 1st trimester and u/s. Personally I prefer to have the 1st tri between my husband and I only.

Parents right away. Close family and close friends after 1st u/s with heartbeat, which was 7weeks for us. Coworkers at 12weeks, because I've been on bed rest for 2 months, going back at 12weeks and they will want to know why. FB announcement at 1314 weeks

I am just like you--4 weeks. We have planned to wait to tell everyone until after my first ultrasound, which will be at about 7.5 weeks. My birthday will be celebrated two days after my ultrasound, so I'll (hopefully) have good news and a confirmed hea

I am at 6 weeks and the only people I've told is my family. For me my family is very important and I feel like they have right to know. Once I am two months I will announce it to my friends and coworkers.

I posted a similar question to this a couple of weeks ago when we found out we were expecting. We ended up telling both sets of parents for a few reasons. 1. We wanted to tell someone so badly. 2. For one set it will be their

I got my BFP 2 days after accepting a job offer. I told my new boss on my 2nd week of the job. I knew I would need to take random time off to go to my OB appts, etc. We told our families after we saw the heartbeat on an ultrasound (I think I was appx 6 we
