I've only told a few close friends and family. But I've not told work or announced on facebook (or told everyone). I'm due mid-May. Curious if I'm the only one still hiding it.
I think a total of 10 people know, and only b/c I have HG and it is pretty hard to hide that! If it were up to my I wouldn't tell until my belly pops but my husband is ready to tell the world. We shall see...
We've only told family and close friends, but plan to "announce" in our Christmas card. I don't know if we will do a FB announcement. Struggling with infertility for 4 years made them awful and I would hate to cause that pain to anyone else...but it might change. Who knows.

We told a week ago. People were blown away at how far along we are. I had drank an Leinie's bottle filled with O'douls a few days before at Thanksgiving. A few people were a little worried, haha.
We have told people at work and our families. We haven't done anything on Facebook. I think we will post something when we find out the sex. Then it will be one big "We're having a baby and it has a penis or vagina" post. We didn't want to do an announcement at the beginning of second tri and then another one right after for the sex.

We've told our families and a few very close friends, and I told one trusted coworker and my boss. In total, probably around 15 people. I don't plan to say anything at work until it becomes totally obvious, and "regular" friends until after the anatomy scan. And I won't be posting on Facebook - my feed is very impersonal and I have a lot of colleagues on there, so I don't tend to share much, if anything, about my personal life.
We have only told immediate family so far. We are waiting until after we get the report from the anatomy scan because I'm so nervous that something is wrong
DD born Oct 2011 - DS#1 born Jan 2014 - DS#2 born Apr 2015 - DS#3 born Sept 2016 - LO#5 due Feb 7, 2018
I am due May 26. I just told facebook because (mad about this) my husbands family was telling EVERYONE and I wanted to at least be the one to hear the congrats. Otherwise I wasn't planning on announcing until January.
I totally feel you. A cousin (who we aren't close with) texted me "congrats" out of the blue because my in-laws posted it on Facebook. We're not on any social media and we still experience drama from it. It's our business to share with whom we choose, and I think it's pretty inappropriate for others to make that announcement without consulting first.
Friends and family know. We won't announce on FB--but I won't be screening photos for a possible bump so it might become clear to others as the bump gets bigger.
We haven't announced it to the world and don't plan too. Only close family and friends and a few people at my work know, only because I'm leaving in Feb to fly back to Aus.
The only person who knows is my mil but it is because we see her all the time and I can't hide it. Other then that we have a huge family and no one knows. I am probably going to keep it that way for a while.
Everyone that I see regularly knows, but I haven't mentioned anything on FB yet. I think i'll do that now that we've had a great anatomy scan and I know the sex of the baby, but i'm trying to figure how.
I'm in the camp of not announcing to the masses over Facebook or social media. We are telling people as we see them but will wait til our LO is born to share how happy and proud we are!
I haven't announced on social media at all either, but most of the people I interact with regularly know already. I'll probably wait till after my anatomy scan to "officially" announce. At least then we will have a cute picture, and I'll know whether things are healthy or not
I've been debating (internally) if I should "announce" on IG. I wasn't going to until my brother made a cute 5 second video of an announcement. Having multiple losses made "announcements" difficult so that's what's holding me back. Other than that we told families on thanksgiving and to everyone who we didn't see we sent Christmas cards.
Family and (true) friends know. I'm leaving the FB announcing to DH, and he already said he plans to do that in May with a picture of him holding our LO. Works for me!!
We've told a handful of people. I told my mom a week and a half ago and she's already told 3 people so I have a feeling it won't be long until everyone knows. We haven't told DDs yet. I'm debating on waiting until after Christmas. They are already so excited about so much these days. I schedule my u/s tomorrow morning and the girls will probably go along to that. I have a feeling they will then tell everyone in the world
We haven't announced on FB but I will. I'm addicted to FB & IG! We told a few close friends in person as we've seen them over the past few weeks and some family knows. Glad I'm not the only waiting to tell.
I'm gradually getting ready to spill the beans. ESP at work. They must think I'm very sick ...or they already assume I must be Pregnant!
2 Corinthians 12:9 But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me.
The only ones who know right now are my MIL and two of my best friends. We will be telling our families around Christmas, when we see them. I do not want to announce on FB and will be telling certain people that I don't want them to post about it either. After having a previous loss, I don't need all of FB to know.
I have only told my little sister. No one else knows. We are waiting to tell all of our friends and family until we go home for Christmas in 2 weeks. I am getting crazy excited, and it is getting harder to hide!!
We told immediate family and REALLY close friends (5 of them total) right away. But extended family and friends found out via our Xmas card announcement. We'll probably do a small scale gender reveal for immediate family and same 5 friends after my anatomy scan on 1/6, no games or gifts or anything on that scale. I truly dont care for a FB or IG announcement but DH wants to so badly.....
I haven't told work, Facebook, and some close friends. I will do that next week after our anatomy scan. I'm definitely showing so I'm sure people are figuring it out.
I'm an attention whore. I have told everyone I see.
No shame
Me too. I even awkwardly told my neighbor in passing when she asked how the Holiday season was going for me. My response: "Oh good, busy because I am PREGNANT but ya know..." haha

This has been me this time around. I'm really struggling with how big I am getting so fast with two! During my Aqua Zumba training yesterday and my intro, I said "And this is my second time teaching Zumba while pregnant but it's twins this time!".
Also, I didn't want to look like an out of shape klutz when I would take it down a notch. Hello...good excuse.
