Are you 'out' yet?

Re: Are you 'out' yet?

  • I've told the world!! Friends, family, coworkers, Facebook, extended family...you name it! If something goes wrong I would rather have an army of support than carry that weight with just my husband.

  • Our first time, we told everyone and I mean everyone the minute I got the positive. Luckily, everything went well, I never even considered a MC, so I'm lucky.

    Telling everyone so early ended up being really annoying. I wasn't showing for 2ish months after telling everyone and it just dragged everything out.

    So, we decided to wait this time, but not having Thanksgiving in November, we had Halloween or Christmas to tell people. So, we picked Halloween. I have told a couple mom-friends just to celebrate a bit. Family will find out on Halloween and I'm sure pictures will show up on facebook from family members that will tell the FB world.

    I stole another bumpies idea and am going to show up in this and not say anything:

  • Only my DH and sister know. I am coincidentally flying to visit my Mom this weekend so will tell her only because I'd like to do it in person and the next time I'll be there will be Christmas. I'm also seeing my best friend who knows I was hoping for another soon. If she asks, I won't lie but won't tell her otherwise. If I can help it, no one else will know until Thanksgiving when I'll be 11.5 weeks. That's still a little early for me but the timing just makes sense since we'll be around the whole family.

  • My immediate in-laws all know, plus a few close friends.  We are spilling the beans to my parents and sister when we see them on Wednesday.  I'm nervous!!

    I don't plan on going "public" until I start showing - that could change though, who knows.

    At least not until 2nd tri.

  • DH knows obviously, and I'm going to tell a girlfriend this weekend, but otherwise I'm keeping this pretty close to the vest for now.  Once I tell my boss (after the first tri, probably), then I'll feel free to share it with more people.  Even my mother's going to have to wait.

     

  • I told a few friends immediately and then our parents a few days later - I'm an over-sharer.  And have a second round of friends in mind after the first ultrasound in 3 weeks.  Not shouting this to the world is aggggonizing to me, because I really do share everything with my friends.  I had lunch with a good friend yesterday who is right on the cusp of an insta-tell and a post-ultrasound tell... but I decided to hold back.  I feel like my conversation skills were seriously deminished!  Every time there was a lull in the conversation I wanted to just blurt it out!  And, saying... mehh, nothing much new... was soooo disingenuous!
