Am I the only one sharing the news?

angaleano82 · November 2013

I saw a post where many of you are waiting until Christmas. But I couldn't wait! After trying for 2 years, I just couldn't contain it lol. I posted on IG, and we have shared it with my husband's 2 sets of parents, 8 siblings and grandpa. And of course our daughter. I am not announcing on Facebook, but that's only because I'm waiting for something I ordered so we can take pictures lol. I am terrible at keeping secrets!!!!

Kara85 · November 2013

My husband is going to be the one having trouble keeping it a secret, but we are planning on keeping it a secret until Christmas. We're having friends over tomorrow who we know are the types to just come out and ask (and not in a prying way - that's just the type of relationship we have with them) and we're both hoping is me who they direct the question to and not him!

We live 3000 miles from our immediate family, so we've told our close friends here, and some close friends via facebook, etc. but we won't tell our immediate family until we get a bit further along in the pregnancy.

biglewzer · November 2013

Most of my family knows, at least the immediate members. My husband's family should know shortly, I'm just not calling everyone to announce it. If we're together and it comes up in conversation, I'll mention it.

ksuRN09 · November 2013

Our immediate family and close friends know. The announcement to everyone else won't be until at least Thanksgiving, maybe Christmas.

Amy+Ryan · November 2013

We've told some of our immediate family and the rest will know at Thanksgiving. I thought it would be nice to be able to tell them in person since they live in another state. It won't become facebook official until 8 wks or so.

earichar23 · November 2013

We announced to our parents and siblings already! We couldn't keep it to ourselves! And then DH let it slip last weekend to a couple we had over for football. I blame the beer. But it's nice to know he's a excited as I am

Other than that I'm hoping to keep it on the DL til dyer our u/s.

Knbh · November 2013

My DH and I told everyone the night we found out

alyss0nl · November 2013

I'm waiting until after Thanksgiving for 2 reasons. I'm holding off to tell extended family because my 1 year old cousin just passed away in August, and we're still mourning. The second reason is my cousin texted me yesterday saying that she found out she was pregnant, and we now share the same due date. Since it's her first, I want to give her the limelight for a bit.

paxilchyk · November 2013

I'm waiting mainly because my SIL hasn't announced her pregnancy yet and I want her to have her moment since it is her first baby. This pregnancy also came as a bit of a shock to us considering we were definitely not trying, so we are going to need some time to wrap our heads around this before sharing with the world.

HeidiAnn13 · November 2013

We're telling our close family members tomorrow and our close friends on Sunday. We have been TTC for a year and a half or so and they know our struggles. I really want to share this happy time with them. If something does go wrong, I know we'll have the love and support needed. I think it just depends on your individual situation :-)

yurmom · November 2013

PGAL brain makes you a cynic...every person I think of telling I just think that's another person I'll have to tell if I lose the baby. That's why I'm waiting.

dkizz82 · November 2013

We have told his parents and my mom. Plus all siblings. We aren't facebooking it or anything. We will tell my dad Sunday night at dinner. I kept it for two weeks. That was long enough.

angaleano82 · November 2013

Yeah, I face timed my best friend in Atlanta and we cried together, we told DH's mom, stepdad and grandpa all in one shot in person by having our daughter hold up a onesie and tell them she was going to be a big sister. Then we went over to his dad and stepmoms for dinner and had our daughter tell them. We got to tell one sibling in person, and the rest we called. MIL is anxious to share it on Facbook but I said if she shares it before I'm ready, I will cut her lol.

I'm in the same boat. I didn't tell anyone the first time around either, except for my best friend (because I was concerned about my hcg not rising appropriately). She knows now, because she's here visiting, but that's it. Nobody else gets the info until Christmas! Maybe. Unless I end up puking on someone. Then, they might figure it out. lol

Megz52188 · November 2013

We've told everyone except my work... Starting to worry we jumped the gun but hopefully not!

LB8427 · November 2013

My parent's know. Telling his parents on Monday. Family at Thanksgiving and friends at 12 weeks. I'm not sure who in our friend group made up the 12 week rule but everyone sticks to it pretty religiously. Even our friends that we consider family held out on us until 12 weeks. So we are kinda waiting so long with them because we don't want to be the ones that couldn't keep a secret. Lame, but true. And I'll never admit that to them

ahjahbaba · November 2013

Our immediate family and a few close friends know. There's no way I could wait till Christmas. It took all I had to wait the week between BFP and telling them : )

milkandhoney77 · November 2013

I've told some friends and my dad. Anyone I won't mind telling if we mc.

bzbear2 · November 2013

I am waiting. We waited last time until our 8 week appt to tell anyone so I can do it again. I kind of like the "secret" time we have now, just the two of us knowing. And it's exciting to think about telling!

Pooka8 · November 2013

I had to tell my Italian neighbors because i got tired of having to turn down wine and beer daily. Otherwise, my closest local friends know in case m/s strikes as badly as last time. I need some people to know since Dh is deployed and DD and I are alone. I also told my twin brother. His wife is due 3 wks before me and he told me early too. I'm not sure when we'll tell family. No later than my 9 wk u/s.

pantherRN · November 2013

H's parents know and my dad and BFF know. We won't tell anyone else for a while. The whole PGAL brain can be controlling. We are basing who to tell at what time point on how shitty it will be to untell.

V1981 · November 2013

My dad knows and 12 y/o dd knows. I'll keep it from the 3 y/o as long as I can!

akbeznitz · November 2013

We told our parents and some of our close friends. My husband is too excited to keep his mouth shut. I work in a hospital and have to be exposed to stuff and I have to do a lot of lifting so I have told my work so they know to not give me the patients I can't be around. Plus I see these people more than I would like and they instantly guessed once I came in with my vernors Tums and zofran and I wasn't drinking my second cup of coffee. These damn nurses guess everything.

fmb2011 · November 2013

We just found out so we'll tell our parents first then the rest of our families on Thanksgiving. I think we'll FB the news around Christmas.

slensic · November 2013

My 2 bff's know but that's it. PGAL brain has got me too, untelling was awful and I don't want' to go through that again. We will tell my parents at Thanksgiving as long as everything looks good at my u/s that Tuesday but it's mostly because DH is going out of town for 2 weeks for work after that and I will need help with DD with first tri exhaustion. We won't share with anyone else until after the NT Scan which may not even be until after Christmas.

This is me! But on the flip side, I'm also a praying girl, so I feel like the more people praying the better. So, we have told our immediate families. My dad told my aunts and my mom told some, so some of my extended family knows too. DH blurted it out to his office. And I told a couple of girlfriends. And couldn't deny it to 2 people who directly asked me.

So, it's a bit wider than I would like it to be at this point. I think I will be more comfortable with our local peeps knowing after our first U/S on the 20th. I don't know when I will feel good about making it official on FB.

mstone1826 · November 2013

We are waiting for my doctors appointment on Monday and then starting to tell our grandmas and grandpas and aunts and uncles. I don't know that I will ever post it on Facebook...well at least until the middle of the second trimester. So no, you are not alone! I can't wait to share this news!

mrsmullins0500 · November 2013

My mom, best friend and instructors at school know(that was have to situation). DH's parents will probably know around Thanksgiving and we will probably announce on FB and to the rest of the family and friends at around 13 weeks. I'm really nervous about this pregnancy. I wasn't like this with my first but I just have a off feeling this time around. Hopefully it's nothing

angaleano82 · November 2013

I just want to say for all of you that are nervous, I will say prayers for you for a happy and healthy 9 months! Since we tried for so long for this baby, I definitely panic over every single tiny little thing, but I have great family and friends and I will need their support if anything happens. But I am absolutely praying it doesn't, for any of us!!!!

carebearcustis · November 2013

It also took us almost two years, and we needed help to get here. Since we had IUI and some of our immediate family members and close friends knew what we were up to (being open about our struggles and treatment were what kept me sane) we have shared the news with these people. It's an exciting time and you should be able to share the news with those closest to you WHENEVER you choose! Congrats to all you July Clubbers!!!

PinkSands15 · November 2013

No, you aren't alone! We've told a lot of people... close family, friends, and close co-workers. No facebook announcement and we have't told those who we only consider acquaintances, but those who we interact with often know. This is our first and we were just too excited to keep it in. Of course I'm still terrified that something may go wrong, but at this point the odds are definitely in my favor.

Yep, this. I know some people like the extra support during a loss, but my family tends to respond to my fertility/miscarriage woes with comments like "oh if you knew what kids were like you wouldn't want any, just take mine home any time you want and you'll get so tired of them you won't want your own anymore"... And of course the "oh well you all make really good money, and plus you're a doctor, so you probably have one of those really good insurance plans that cover fertility and IVF treatments for free, don't you?" So yeah, we are keeping mum til after first trimester, because those aren't conversations I enjoy having.

cakergirl · November 2013

I should add I did tell my BFF but she happens to be an obgyn, so she gets it.

Katieluc106 · November 2013

I've told the world! Facebook official hehe

Ciardasully · November 2013

We're waiting until after our 8 week ultrasound to tell our parents (which we have the day before we leave for my parents for Thanksgiving) but we are waiting until 12 weeks to tell everyone else. I just can't think of having to tell people if my appleseed doesn't stick around. This is my first pregnancy but I am 35 so I am worried.

redhotmama7 · November 2013

we weren't going to tell ppl but I ended up blurting it out to my mom on the phone on Thursday. I told her to keep quiet because we have A LOT of family members to share with (6sibs my side 10sibs his side plus parents) we tried for over 4 yrs so I'm very excited to share but at the same time quite worried of mc so we are telling my hubby's boss soon and other than that no one else till Christmas!

ddubzz · November 2013

Just got my BFP 2 days ago, so we haven't told anyone. DH and I agreed to wait till Christmas to start telling people (I'll be around 10 weeks). By then, we'll have had our first dr's appt and u/s.

beccaxrad · November 2013

I am pretty sure my entire family knows. I'm so far away from them and we talk way too much to keep it in. The only reason I'm not ready for them to share is because I haven't told many people at work yet! I'll wait until Christmas to reveal it to them!
