when to tell parents

amichael89 · April 2013

My husband and I are expecting our first and will be 4 weeks tomorrow. My husband wants to tell our parents now but wait for the rest of the family and friends until 12 weeks. What have all you ladies done and what would you recommend? I said wait until maybe 6 weeks.

we did exactly that this time, and with DD.

We have told close friends that we know will be able to either embrace us or leave us alone if we MC. (depending on what we need emotionally). I don't want/need my mom to give us her unsolicited advice so we aren't telling ANY family until 12 weeks. And t

We found out Monday that we're expecting and told DH's parents yesterday. It'll be their first grandchild, so we were too excited not to tell them. As for my parents (it'll be their 11th grandchild), we're going to wait until after our first U/S (May 14).

I always told my parents right away for both pregnancies.

My husband already told his dad. I want to wait until we find out the gender before telling anyone else.

Our plans; if everything works as I'd like them to, then ... we'll tell all our parents' Mother's Day when we take them out to eat. I realize it's a little later than most tell their parents; but, we really want to tell all of them at the same time. Th

We are waiting until Mother's Day. Or that is what we are aiming for. I want to wait until my first appointment which is at the end of April. We thought Mother's Day would be good timing.

We told our fam at 8 wks after hearing the HB. I didn't want to ask my parents not to tell the rest of the fam bc I knew it would be very hard to do bc of all the excitement. Also we are a close family so felt comfortable with everyone knowing. Most of my

The first time we told one close friend, who was pregnant at the same time, that we were expecting around 6 weeks. At 12 weeks after the ultrasound we told everyone - family and friends.

This time I didn't know I was pregnant until 7 1/2 w

My family lives out of state so being visibly pregnant isn't a worry.

lilybeth12 · April 2013

We told my parents at around 5 weeks. they live out of state, and i wanted my mom's support whatever happens. It's also been really helpful to know her pg history (there are 3 of us). it was funny talking to her today about ms, she's

For all three we told parents and best friends but waited on telling everyone else. When we lost our second baby, it was nice to have the support system but also nice that we didn't have to tell a bunch of people that we lost the baby.

Would you tell your parents if you had a miscarriage? If so, I would feel safe telling them. We waited until 10 weeks to tell our parents, and afterwards I was wondering why I waited so long. You definitely don't want to announce it to the world, but I th

I'm 10 weeks and I just ordered a shirt that says Big Sister for LO. We're going to put it on her and take our families out to dinner. I wanted to wait until we had U/S pictures because I think it's way more exciting than "I know my stomach looks the same
