I feel like I've been hiding this secret forever!!!!

Swiftymomof3 · October 2013

Especially from my mom. I plan on spilling the beans if my first ultrasound goes ok tomorrow. I just feel guilty that I have hid it for over 3 weeks. I've never been able to do that before!

WoodsSeltzer09 · October 2013

Hope all goes well tomorrow for you - I could barely keep it from my mom for 3 days. I figured I'd tell her and my sister if something didnt go well so i might as well tell them.

Swiftymomof3 · October 2013

It's been really hard. Really, really hard!!!

Swiftymomof3 · October 2013

Thought I would share my bloat pic on here. Just took it this morning.

I am telling zero people besides a very close friend. My family was not supportive at all during my miscarriage and my In Laws are blabber mouths. My lips are sealed for a lot longer.

Swiftymomof3 · October 2013

My mom has been very supportive through my 3 losses. I just hate her having to worry. She's a worrier.

JulieSmiles · October 2013

I have yet to tell my family also. It is very hard. Hope the next few weeks go quickly so you can finally tell them.

I just found out Monday. Dude and I decided we wouldn't tell anyone until the first ultrasound ... so of course, I already told one friend and he told his mom.

It couldn't be helped.

We have found ourselves telling strangers whenever we can. Just so we can say it out loud. It's BIG news -- of course we want to share it.

Swiftymomof3 · October 2013

I'm not going to tell others until Christmas either. I just feel like my mkm and in laws should know first.

MrsAMB07 · October 2013

This is the longest we've gone without telling anyone and it's so hard! We have our u/s this evening and if all goes well we'll tell my mom and sister tomorrow. Honestly, they'd be who I would tell even if it didn't go well, but I'd rather just wait one more day, haha. We wanted to wait until Thanksgiving, and we probably will for everyone else, but since DH's family basically outed us to his side, I want to know I can tell at least someone on my own terms.

Mela02 · October 2013

It is very hard to keep this a secret. We're waiting till Thanksgiving to tell family and friends. Of course the DH knows but I also couldn't keep it from my mom and my sister I had to tell them too.

jckeown89 · October 2013

For me...it has been only two days and I am dying. Lol we are planning not to reveal to anyone till Thanksgiving. It's gonna kill me. I didn't realize my husband is so excited, but apparently he almost told everyone he knows yesterday and was barely holding back. I thought it was cute since he is pretty quiet and reserved.

JNerd · October 2013

We told our parents and my best friend - we waited a while longer last time, but know that these are the same people we would talk to if we experienced a loss. Plus, we are really excited and needed to tell someone.

The other thing is I don't turn down a drink. Pretty much ever. So needed someone on the inside to help with family gatherings to avoid all of the questions.

peggels24 · October 2013

I was going to hold off on telling my family until after our appt next week but everyone wound up finding out this weekend when I was visiting. In all honesty, my family and I are super close and if something happened, they would be there to support me anyway so it's probably just as well that I told them.

jeepjen20 · October 2013

Due to my line of work I had to tell people already . It kinda sucked to come out so soon but it's nice because I can talk about it now. It's my first so I am super happy and want to tell everyone !!

christinemurray91 · October 2013

I've managed to keep it a secret from family and close friends... But the only way I made it through was by telling acquaintances (with no connection to my family) and salespeople, haha.

MissBHaven1024 · October 2013

When I was pregnant with my first, my family didn't find out until I was 19 weeks. I didn't want the drama I knew would come, so I kept it to myself.

Swiftymomof3 · October 2013

I told both of our parents last night. They weren't shocked and actually both told me they basically knew. Haha!

sinnedambition · October 2013

DH and I told our parents, who we have nicknamed the "blabber mouth team," right after the BFP. Ironically, our parents are really good at NOT TALKING to people (ie. my FIL hadn't talked to his brother in almost a year)...well apparently almost everyone in our family/extended family knows.

But we aren't saying anything (or confirming anything) until Thanksgiving.

danalawrence · October 2013

I think I made it about 15 minutes before I told my mother. Maybe. Might've been less

LKHoffa · October 2013

I am on TheBump all the time bc this is the only place I can be openly "pregnant!" I think Thanksgiving will be my "coming out" party!

ktwils2010 · October 2013

lol @Swiftymomof3 - I really love your baby bloat picture! That's how I felt this morning, couldn't get my jeans to button!

It is super hard to wait to tell family and friends. My mom knows and one of my best friends. We are waiting to tell the rest of our family and friends until we are out of the first tri. We've had two losses in the past 5 months, so I've learned who is and who is not supportive.

kamirablue · October 2013

We are waiting till our 8 week ultrasound to tell family and then will try to wait till 12 weeks for everyone else. But I feel so bad like I am lying, and I almost don't want to see anyone until the US so I don't have to feel like a liar anymore!

hellipink82 · October 2013

I have told my mom and two of my close friends. other than that I have told no one. I am waiting till christmas also! we will be over 12 weeks and I will be telling my two DD then also!

MississippiCatfish · October 2013

I waited until 12 weeks last time to tell anyone, and it was so hard not to tell my mom. But then I asked her to wait ONE WEEK to tell anyone while I told other people, and she could barely hold it in. She asked every day if she could tell people yet. Made me so glad I waited, ha!

Bcsquier · October 2013

I finally spilled yesterday, we told my in laws at breakfast and then I told my parents and my sister. I really wanted to wait until our first appointment but I've been so exhausted lately and had waves of nausea that everyone was already suspicious and it was getting harder to hide it everyday. I even tried drinking cranberry juice and saying it was a cocktail! Lol

Sumerseas81 · October 2013

We told my mom the next day! This is our first, so couldn't wait. And I'm really glad, because she's been incredibly helpful in so many unexpected and challenging situations already. We're waiting until after the first ultrasound and appt to tell my brothers and best friends. Then Thanksgiving for my fam and Christmas for his (when we'll be spending time with each). I'm excited we're spreading it out... Makes the excitement last even longer.
