I apologize if this has been posted, but I did a quick search and didn't see anything on this specific topic.
When do you plan on telling your parents (or when did you tell them)? Your extended family (like aunts, uncles, etc).
I have a history of miscarriage, so I'm paranoid about telling anyone until I'm much further along.

We will tell extended family immediately after the parents. Especially since our parents like to tell their brothers and sisters immediately anyway.

We'll tell our parents and siblings in January after I hit 12 weeks. As for our large extended families, our parents will probably call to tell their siblings the news, and then we'll share on FB with them probably around 15w or so?

Is it weird that I'm NOT excited to tell anyone else? I will be going to my hometown for thanksgiving, and was actually relieved my two best friends are out of town or working, because I don't want to tell anyone. We told one set of friends out where we live, and it was awful! I didn't know how to bring it up to her (bf knew - hubby told him), and then felt so weird from all the attention.
I think I'll tell my extended family sometime before Christmas, mostly because I know they would likely give me a bunch of booze gifts that I won't want right now. Yeah that's my cousins. )

BFP - Oct 2014 - was scheduled for IVF, but discovered we did it naturally instead! - first baby! EDD July 8
Currently I'm thinking that I will tell my parents early December after our local Santa Clause parade that we go to every year. Almost all of the extended family is overseas so I will probably send out a Christmas email with an announcement of some kind. I'll probably let everyone else know around New Years.

I might have to change that though. DS knows (was planning to wait with him, but that kid is so creepily observant) and 5 is a hard age to be able to keep secrets.
He's been good so far, but spilled the beans to my neighbors tonight. When I asked him why he said it was because he just wanted to tell someone and this secret was takingtoo long. 5 year old logic. /:)
