Already spilled the beans :/

welly01 · August 2014

DH and I said we weren't going to tell anyone until after 12 weeks...and I just told a coworker. What is wrong with me, lol? I just couldn't contain my excitement. I really, really hope this bean decides to stick because that would suck!

Oh, I can empathize, I have told WAY more people so far than I did last time, and I'm worried that will jinx me....but all my really close friends knew I had been trying for a while...and then they also knew I was having to see an RE...so naturally they asked how the cycle turned out. I also told my boss because she and I are close and she knew what was going on. *sigh* It makes me nervous!

I'm glad I'm not the only one! I'm pretty sure I had told her I was TTC. I just feel bad for not keeping my promise not to tell anyone.

We told a ridiculous number of people early with DS. I didn't want to, but DH (and my stepdad) could not help himself.

We are being a big more conservative this time around. My mom and stepdad and two of my brothers know, MIL and SIL know, two of my best friends, and DH's best friend. But, we would definitely tell all of those people if something were to happen.

It has been really hard in some cases not to blab. One of my employees is 17 weeks with her first and in talking baby, it's been hard for me to not say things about "this time."

It's an exciting time in your life. It's hard not to spill the beans. I have told a few close friends and close family members. If anything should happen, I know I would have a lot of support.

We are visiting hubby's family this weekend. They know we were going to start TTC around this time of year. I'm hoping they don't ask questions

I ended up telling a coworker yesterday. We teach in the same department and we are friends, so if anything would happen, I would want her to know anyway. There may also be future doctor appointments where I may have to leave a few minutes early, so she said she would be willing to cover my last class once in a while if necessary. She's great.

Three of my teacher friends know. I told 2 because I am super close with them. Another guessed and I just can't lie convincingly. DH told 1 co-worker yesterday too. It helps to have someone know. But I think we are going to wait to tell family until after our first doc appointment in about a month.

My Dh told his mom as soon as I told him. We'll be telling my family in 2 weeks if not before. I would like to have them all together and see their reactions. First time we told them all individually.

We've had to tell a few people prematurely... H's birthday was last Saturday and I told him I was getting him a big surprise present (he had no idea I was already pregnant) and any time he bumped into someone between last Tuesday and Saturday, he would mention "I'm getting a big surprise for my birthday!" We didn't think to make up a cover story, so when those people have asked what the big surprise was we've just kind of had to tell.

It's NBD though because the people we've had to tell won't be telling our families so we can still make a nice plan to surprise our extended families (especially the great grandparents to be!) with the news which is all I really care about.

I had to tell all of my coworkers and bosses when I found out because I have so many limitations and cautions with my job. (I am a vet, so extreme caution with aggressive animals, can't handle medications, can't recover animals from anesthesia, can't lift hundred pound dogs, etc). They knew before my parents did. It sucked to have to do it, but it makes my day to day life much easier! Plus it is too exciting to keep a secret for too long!

xcjump · August 2014

I didn't tell anyone with my first pregnancy until about 10 weeks. I have already told my parents and inlaws this time around. Plus a local friend is due April 20th and I told her as well. I'm not as concerned this time around about keeping it a secret.

Carlton2013 · August 2014

I've told like a person a day because I can't stand it. I'm the worst at secrets

kat0217 · August 2014

We told our parents and siblings pretty much right away, and gave them permission to pass it on to extended family as long as it stays off social media until we say something first. I've told close friends and my husband has told just about everyone he sees on base where he is doing his training. Ha he made fun of me for telling friends but then he was too excited to keep it to himself.

I think it's important to talk about MC and not to hide it like women did for so long since it's so common, so I don't see a point in waiting. Hopefully nothing bad happens, but if it does, I want to have those people in my corner, not have to hide a tragedy from them.

24hourbride · August 2014

We tried to keep it a secret this time.... it lasted all of 5 hours. lol!

I've never been able to do a major reveal, its just bubbled out from both of us all 3 times.

jwm29 · August 2014

I totally spilled it to my best friend last night...I couldn't help it!! Plus I'm in her wedding about 2 weeks before my EDD so I thought she should know!

courtkeels · August 2014

Going on vacation next weekend. My husbands family loves to drink so we have to spill the beans to them. Other wise I'll spend my vaca puking and dodging why aren't you drinking questions. I also confided in 3 friends 1 is a mom of 3, one is expecting her first, and the other well I tell her everything. Oh and my boss just so I have someone that can make sure I'm ok at work. B-)

HBuchan · August 2014

Hey it's your pregnant! I think it's great you told people. How exciting. I understand

twinkletoes3126 · August 2014

I have told my parents, my sons photographer (not sure if that counts lol), my aunt, and my BFF. Tomorrow we will be telling my MIL, SIL, and BIL. We are only telling people we would tell if something were to happen and people who will (hopefully!) keep their mouth shut. We will probably tell the rest of our siblings and maybe DH's best friend. Everyone else will hear about it after my 12 week dr. appointment.
