Told EVERYONE

TurtleMonstersTurtleMonsters member
in July 2014 Moms
So I should have followed my common sense and said, "DON'T TELL MY news"...I just kinda thought my aunt believed the same as the rest of the family, when you have news to share, it is that person's news, don't steal it. Her daughter also did this last year, same timing even with due date, and she managed to keep her mouth shut them. But she went and told extended family friends.  Then I think my dad told someone on his side, because another aunt outed that she knew. So I tried to to take back the announcement, and announced it online to everyone I could think of that would care. I hope I didn't just jinx myself. The OB seemed adamant that "mum's the word" on the pregnancy for now, which IDk why he had to say that...it's my second. I know the ins and outs a bit. I was only telling really close ppl that I wouldn't mind "untelling" if that scenario arose. Regardless it's my news damn it, I decide when!

    I'm sorry she told so many people. My MIL did that too with my pregnancy in July, people were still congratulating me a month after the muscarriage. I hope everything goes well and you don't have to untell anyone.

    ew, that's even worse!! @MrsGeekyPants!

    I know my family is just excited, so I'm not angry, just disappointed they can't have the social graces that EVERYONE else in the family has...well at least with my Aunt. My dad falls into that men are clueless thing.
     It's an on going issue, my catty aunts, I should have known better. I'd kill to have a sibling, and they are just stupid to each other. Why be like that to siblings? not everyone has the joy/misery of having them.

    Ugh, I'm sorry! 

    We told my parents the day after Thanksgiving and I'm pretty sure my mom has already told 10 people. We asked them not to say a word until we said it was okay, but she didn't listen and kept telling me to just relax. I wanted to scream!

    Yup this is my concern as well. Told our parents and my husbands siblings but asked them not to tell anyone yet. Pretty sure it will all be leaked in the next few weeks. My family is notorious for not keeping a secret... (One of those... Well it's a secret so don't tell anyone, but....).... We'll see if everyone on my husband knows at his grandmas Christmas party in a few weeks.

    We will be 10 weeks tomorrow and nobody knows. Ok, correction, my best friend who is an obgyn in a different town knows, and 2 of my colleagues know (I am a physician, maternity leave for me means 1/3 of their work force is gone, so I thought they might want to plan ahead. Plus I wanted them to know in case things suddenly go poorly like they did last pregnancy/miscarriage and I suddenly need to cancel my schedule). But otherwise our parents and siblings don't know and our friends don't know. We have an appt tomorrow and if it goes well we will probably tell at Christmas- or actually just after. We probsbly wont do a big "announcement"- just tell parents, coworkers and a few close friends individually and let it spread from there ater the holidays.I just know that our families (mainly my inlaws) would be so excited they would blab to everyone and I want to be out of first trimester before everyone knows. Just don't want to "untell" everyone if it doesn't go well. Too paranoid I suppose. I don't blame you though, even though I don't plan to do a formal "announcement" I would be really disappointed if I didn't get to tell the ones who were important to me!

    Reason 3735719473829114 why we haven't told anyone yet. My rule of thumb is tell nobody, until you are prepared to tell everybody.

    I'm sorry your news got spilled!

    Exactly!

    This scares me too, My husband and I have very detailed plans on who finds out when. I think it's something special that you want just certain people knowing at certain times. We told my mom when I was 5 weeks and she has kept quiet. I just told my best friend at Thanksgiving because I wanted to tell her in person. We are finally telling hubbys parents this Thursday and I am REALLY hoping his mom keeps her mouth shut and then telling the rest of the fam at xmas and then facebook official a couple days after New Years if all goes as planned! I'll be 10 weeks on Wednesday!

    The second thing I will be telling DH's mom after we share the news is NO POSTS ON FB!! I love my MIL, but she's notorious for posting other people's news - pregnancies, births, deaths, etc. for all to know. I will not allow others to post about our news or about my pregnancy-related happenings in general on social media.

    God forbid, if anything "happens", I'm going to go ahead and just tell that aunt and tell HER to disseminate the news. I knew better, I guess I should be kicking myself in the butt for not wanting to keep it a total secret.

    Did I mention the irony, that she was the ONLY one at turkey day who would both care and didn't know, everyone else knew and kept their mouths shut, or are my male, child-less cousins, that are scared of children;). My mom likes to tell me how I shouldn't tell her, or her daughter they are blabber mouths, however her daughter (my surrogate sister) and I share EVERYTHING and NO one knows.
