Who's still waiting to announce?

slwseb14 · May 2015

I'm in my 12th week, have seen and heard the baby's heartbeat on both an ultrasound and Doppler. I guess I was so paranoid of having a miscarriage, but I think I should be in the clear now. Who's told and who hasn't?

chewie5990 · May 2015

We told close family and bestfriends after the first ultrasound at 8 weeks. Thursday we had another ultrasound at 11 weeks and everything was checking out perfect so we decided to go ahead and tell whoever we felt like telling. I told everyone at work yesterday and it felt so good not to keep such a big secret anymore.

rmarie13 · May 2015

We've told our parents and siblings. DH told his bff as soon as I took the test... Total bromance! I haven't even told my best friends but it's mostly because I want to tell them in person and I won't see them for another month. I did tell my boss and the cook (I work in a school that provides our lunch) I'm 11 weeks but I have another US in 2 weeks so I think I'm just going to wait until then to let the news out.

gamblel · May 2015

We're waiting to tell till father's day. I'll be 13 wks then. It's been very hard to participate in normal activities with friends and family because we're normal drinkers. Cheers to laying low.

imfunsizeniki · May 2015

I hit 2nd trimester today... And still haven't told more than family and close friends...

kawolt · May 2015

10w5d and haven't told yet. Navigating social situations are getting tricky. We plan to tell week 13 when with his family. Will be nice to share!

ketobaby · May 2015

So far only a few people know for me. I will be announcing at 12 weeks to a few cousins mainly because I am moving and no one knows yet except for those who know I'm pregnant. At 20 weeks I will announce to the broader people in my life via Facebook.

foliver82 · May 2015

We have only told our BFF's.
We will be 10 weeks tomorrow. We were planning on announcing at our annual Father's Day cookout. We have an ultrasound scheduled for Tuesday and another the Tuesday before Father's Day!
I am really nervous and hesitant on sharing the news because I've had constant bleeding. The only way we continue to know if everything is ok with peanut is by ultrasound. So once we hit 12 weeks and we get that early risk ultrasound I think I will feel much better about sharing :-)

Shanna729 · May 2015

We just got DS 2nd birthday pics done and he had a chalkboard that said "Big Bro". We'll be giving the pics out at his birthday party the middle of June, can't wait! Will probably flip something up on Instagram for friends and family as neither of us have Facebook.

keiragann · May 2015

I have only told family and work because of the late loss we had last time. I don't know if I will at all.

apadilla414 · May 2015

11 weeks tomorrow and we have not told anyone yet. I want to wait until my second ultrasound, but it's the day after Father's Day, putting me at 14 weeks. I think by that point I'll actually be showing and have to announce anyway before the second ultrasound.

SierraGood · May 2015

I work I a very active and hot environment so I told my boss at six weeks.... Bathroom and snack breaks where a must lol, but due to having a missed miscarriage with my first at 8 weeks that went unnoticed until 11 weeks, we're waiting for my next appointment which will put me at ten weeks before we share the news. I have a home Doppler and listen to my nuggets heartbeat daily, I guess I just need to see it to believe it. I'll me ten weeks Tuesday

merbear32 · May 2015

We told my job and my parents everyone else will know the 14th week.

valcow · May 2015

We told immediate family at 10 weeks and made it facebook official last night at 12 weeks. Everyone is super excited for us.

It was all good until MIL made the comment, "i dont know how i will feel when i have two its been a long time since i had a baby lol" Really??? Oh, then she has BIL call to ask DH if she can post the last u/s pictures. Uh, no. I shot that down real quick. I get that this is minor compared to others, but seriously. They are not your babies!!! Sorry for the vent. I just needed to get that out.

ashricci8 · May 2015

I'm only 9w3d I've only shared with BFFs, close family and work. I've had 2 ultra sounds and yesterday even saw LO moving during it! We're waiting until atleast 12 or 13 weeks to not keep it a secret anymore

4puddleducks · May 2015

We're still waiting to tell extended family and friends. I have a family member that lost a baby at 4 months in February. They have really struggled with the loss, so we have decided to hold off a little longer. We will probably announce in the next few weeks.

CMDD · May 2015

We plan to tell at second trimester- 14 weeks- and are 9w3d today so we've got a long while to go!

karlafenn · May 2015

We told family and very close friends at 8 weeka. Waiting until my next ultra sound which happens to be at 12 weeks to announce to everyone else!

raq_2020 · May 2015

Oh I've definitely been waiting. We each told a friend (ok, i told two friends) but I'm so ready to tell my sister! I probably will next weekend.

Dad & brother are tricky because the next time I see them will be for a very special event of my brother's & I don't want to take away from that. I think I'll try to wait until family vacation so I can tell them at the same time.

Husband's family doesn't live close so we'll wait a while for that. Probably mail his mom an ultrasound picture & some kind of "grandma" trinket. He's excited to tell his grandmas but they will literally tell the entire family & I'm not ready for that.

I'll wait to tell work. They already suspect it because I threw up all over myself driving Wednesday morning & had to call out. LOL it was so gross.

For some reason I just feel really nervous to tell people.

arichlife · May 2015

I am 11 w 2 d and we are waiting still. Our next appt is at 12w 4d so once we have that and everything looks good we will announce. We've told family and a couple close friends but the big announcement will be after our next appt.

Not drinking has been the most awkward part of this pregnancy for me! I can only come up with so many excuses. It's actually more believable that I just don't want to go out than for me to go and not have a single drop of alcohol.

313Meg · May 2015

We are in no hurry to announce. And won't actually do an official announcement. Our immediate families know.

KTinCarolina · May 2015

Not yet for me... 12th also!

LinMmmm · May 2015

Only a very few immediate family members know. I plan to tell work on Monday. I am 13 weeks today and don't plan on announcing to everyone for a couple more weeks.

preggoandglowing · May 2015

We told immediate family after our first ultrasound at 8w and my bosses for purposes of lighter duty. We have our second appointment next week when I'll be 11w and if all is well (praying), we'll let friends, extended family and coworkers know as we see them.

adecembermom2015 · May 2015

All the important people know. Lol. We will announce publicly after we hear the heartbeat at our 12 week appt next week. Wish I could have another ultrasound.

Mags128 · May 2015

I am 12 weeks. We have told my mom and sister and a few co workers. I think after my ultrasound next week we will be telling everyone. For some reason I just don't really want to tell people.

satindawl83 · May 2015

I'm 13 weeks and only close friends and family know. Will tell work after next week. No official announcement planned, everyone else will just find out when they see my bump!

I like the privacy of only a few people knowing.

kmac103 · May 2015

We've only told our support system so far. Our parents and each of our best friends. We are waiting until our next appointment to make it Facebook official. I'm 9w6d now and will be 13w at my next appointment. I don't want to wait so long but I also don't want to have to break the news of something were to go wrong.

Like a couple of you going out has proved to be a problem for me lol Me not drinking would alert EVERY ONE of our friends that I am expecting. I just keep making excuses to not go.. So far so good!

grkgdss00 · May 2015

We've to immediate family and select friends, as we went on vacation with them and they'd suspect why I wasn't drinking. Waiting to tell work and rest of the world after 12 weeks

slwseb14 · May 2015

Aww.: I'm glad I'm not the only one waiting!

CMDD · May 2015

I'm still having a hard time knowing that i'm going across the country to a family wedding and it will be the only time i see my family for over a year...and i'm not going to tell since i don't want to steal the spotlight. I really wish I could share the news!

Praying41 · May 2015

We told family on Mother's Day and a few really close friends right after. I told work a week or so ago. Yesterday told a group of close cousins bout it. Planning to post on social media later today.

If it makes you feel any better, I had a lot of bleeding in my first trimester with my son. At first, I thought I had to be miscarrying, and went to the ER. After several reoccurances in a week, my OB/GYN finally did a pelvic, and I had what appeared to be a varicose vein on the outside of my cervix, that had presented sometime after my initial appointment. My doctor said he had never seen anything like it in practicing 20+ years. I would bleed so much, my husband would have to stand in the bathroom with me, to make sure he could catch me if I passed out. They ended up taking me off work, and sent me to a GYN-oncologist to make sure it wasn't something more serious. But before I could get in to see the other doctor, it had cleared up, and the rest of my pregnancy was completely normal. I hope this gives you a little encouragement. It was so scary when I went through it. Prayers for you, and your sweet babe.

JulieK79 · May 2015

I'm 13 weeks and have started telling more people as it comes up. Will not
Make a FB announcement until 20 weeks when we find out what we're having. I went to the ER for bleeding the other week and still can't get past the worry that something will go wrong. I'm a teacher and I'm trying to make it through the last week of school next week without all the parents finding out. Luckily my kids are first graders and are oblivious to my growing stomach!

koala1107 · May 2015

We're waiting a while to announce. We told my in laws only because of a cruise we went on that and it was out of character for me not to drink. I've told one close friend but are waiting to tell my parents until after the NT scan, then will tell others around 20 weeks unless we see them in person and I'm obviously showing. It's a bit easier for me to hide since we live across the country from most of my family and friends. Just having major anxiety sharing the news this time around after a loss in January.

vera1127 · May 2015

I have my NT scan Monday. If all goes well we will tell our son that day and announce later in the week. I will be around 11.5-12 weeks then. All has been well up until this point so praying it continues and we can let the cat out of the bag. People are really starting to notice my belly!

nmariek · May 2015

We haven't told anyone yet, waiting till the 12th week. I go to my fist ob on Monday. I'll be 10w2d. Only 1 person knows besides my SO. she asked me and I guess I'm a bad liar. By he's knowing it makes it's somewhat real.

nellybellycat · May 2015

We had a loss our 1st pregnancy so we're waiting. Im 11 weeks and its getting hard to hide. I have told a few friends but only because they were so supportive when I had my loss (our families were surprisingly not). A few people at work have asked but I lie. 1st appt isnt until next week. Im actually dreading telling anyone-esp my mil! Im not really the fb announcement type but Ill be more open about it at 14 weeks

susiaustin · May 2015

14 weeks today (at least according to last measurements) my in laws knew as soon as I peed on a stick (SIL and her big mouth!!)and my brother knew that night. One of my coworkers knew 2 days later because I needed an OB and she kinda pulled me aside and was like is everything OK? She was great about it and covered my butt till after my first appointment. Told my mom on the phone on break after my sister figured it out so she wouldn't tell her, she told my dad. Finally by 10 weeks everyone was talking so much and telling everyone my business I figured ok work knows my parents know his parents know, let me just tell everyone. In laws was all his sisters fault for telling her mom. His mom didn't even think to ask if we wanted to wait to share, the entire family knew, by 30 minutes after I peed on a stick...

rynney · May 2015

We're waiting until my parents come to visit in mid-July. I'll be 16w then and it's really hard to not share but we want to be out of the first trimester. And we want to tell our parents at the same time, in person since this is the first grandkid on either side. My sister knows and my boss knows and one friend at work but that's it for now!
