When are y'all planning to start telling people?

alyss0nl · November 2013

Waiting 12 weeks is too long, especially when you already look the part. We spilled the beans yesterday. It was pretty obvious and we found out that "aunt" is pregnant, due 6 weeks before me. AND my cousin is pregnant and we pretty much have the same due date.

Crazy busy in my family. Besides, God forbid anything happen, I would want my family there for us.

We told our parents the day we found out; I had to tell my boss the next day because I was supposed to go to a conference two weeks after I'm due. We wound up telling everybody after my first appointment, because I've been ridiculously sick, and people only buy the stomach flu for so long.

Maybe this weekend. Or maybe Thanksgiving. This will be parents/siblings only. Everyone else will not be told until 12ish weeks. I am 6w2d today.

Parents - Thanksgiving

Siblings - Christmas (Though I will probably tell my sister before then because I can't keep a secret from her to save my life)

Everyone Else - Before it becomes completely obvious

We are doing a Christmas announcement.

We told our parents and siblings right away. Family will find out at Christmas, which is 13 weeks for me, and everyone else around New Years (announcement will go on a New Years card).

Although I'd say a good 10 of my coworkers and my boss all now already. It's a pain in the ass to teach 3rd grade with morning sickness so I've had to recruit some support for managing my work day...plus everyone got very suspicious when I started showing up without my morning coffee.

I'm at my parents house right now and it's so hard not to tell them! Should I just tell them ?!

Maybe Christmas for family, if not sooner. We'll see how things go. I'm not sure if we're going to do any sort of FB announcement so everyone else can find out by word of mouth after the New Year.

We told DH parents the day we found out.... I'm 5w3 I'm not very good at keeping it a secret... The hubs wants to wait till Christmas to spread the word to everyone else.... We'll see how long I can last. Should have first US beginning of Dec. if all is good then ill probably let the work out. Congrats everyone!

I'm going to tell my coworkers after thanksgiving. Being in the Air Force and always in the gym, they'll notice soon when I slow down with our workouts...

We've told a few trustworthy friends at this point, because we just had to tell SOMEONE. 12 weeks will be Dec 28th, so we're planning to tell family at Christmas. I'm thinking that I'll make it Facebook official on New Years Day in a cheesy "we have so much to look forward to this year" post...

We will probably start telling around 6 weeks. We had a miscarriage at 10 wks. in July and I was devastated and needed to take a whole week off of work. Although we had told family already, we hadn't told my work yet, but I felt like I had to tell them after the loss because I took so much time off. All in all, I appreciated and needed the support. My DH did all the calling to break the bad news and he said in the unfortunate case that it were to happen again, he would do it again. So, this time we are telling earlier than we ever have before. I can't imagine going through the pain of a miscarriage and trying to hide it.

I had a similar experience earlier this year and I feel the same way. I'm telling more people this time because then if something happens, I'll have the support as opposed to trying to hide it.

Basically, everyone knows. DH and I just planned on telling our parents, but it just sort of snowballed from there :S So I suppose now I just hope for the best.
