My husband and I know and that's it. I'd like to keep it secret for as long as possible for a variety of reasons. The earlier you tell the longer your pregnancy tends to seem and by the end people are asking you everyday if the baby is coming - that gets super annoying. With my 3rd baby we waited to tell our parents at 15 weeks and we told everyone else after our first ultrasound at 20 weeks. People weren't nearly as annoying at the end.
Plus if things didn't work out I'd rather deal with it on my own.

So far just my husband and my best friend know. I've mentioned it to our 2.5yo daughter too and I'm not sure how much she understands about it but she likes to point to her belly and say she's growing a baby as well which is super cute. Hoping she doesn't spill the beans on us though, we want to keep it on the DL until the end of Feb/beginning of March after we're out of the first trimester!
My list goes on and on... our parents, My SIL (was going to happen any way bc she works at my ob/gyn office), 2 work friends ( so they can be on call if I need bathroom break at work), my 4 best friends and my cousin. Then we told a couple of other close friends too.. We made it clear that we weren't out in the open yet, but that we wanted our close friends support either way. We only told people we would feel comfortable sharing bad news with as well.

We just found out this morning and I immediately told my best friend so she could add a big brother shirt to my order that she's shipping Monday! When I got home from work we told our 11 month old as if it mattered to him! Our first appointment is February 22nd so we may share with a couple people after that, but for the most part we will probably wait until around 15 weeks to tell most people...unless I am super sick like last time, then everyone will know right away!
I haven't told anyone other than DH. 5 weeks today. Blood work Monday to confirm. I have a deformity of the uterus so I have a pretty high chance of miscarriage so I'll lay low until close to 12 weeks.
husband, and a co worker. other then that I am determined to keep quiet till at least my first apportionment on 2/9, it's soooo hard I just want to shout it out!
My DH and I plan on waiting until after the first scan to tell our parents. As if that isn't hard enough (we still have 2.5 weeks to go), my mom sent me a random text yesterday saying her "spidey senses are tingling...do you have something you want to tell me?". My mouth dropped open!! I ended up coming up with a good response to throw her off the scent but it is so hard lying/withholding this from her!
We don't plan on telling everyone else until after the 1st Trimester. Lord, help me.
Married: 3/21/15 First time mom to a human but have been a puppy mamma for over 12 years
I'm 7 weeks today and I have told DH that we're waiting until we safely arrive at our second trimester but i have a feeling he already blabbed to his best friend because he cant keep a secret. We had our first US 2 days ago and we heard his little HB - it was the most beautiful thing ever!
TTC for Baby #1 for 3 years. After 2 failed IUI's & IVFs, God blessed us with our miracle . FET 12/17/15 (transferred 2 embryos at 5days). First Beta 12/29/15 = 354. Second Beta 12/31/15 = 694. Third Beta 1/7/16 = 6,695. Finally heard his heartbeat (126) on 1/14/16 @ our 1st US. 2nd US on 1/21/16, HR was 159. The most beautiful sound ever
We haven't told our family yet. Two of my friends (my best friend & a good friend who is a mommy already) and three married couples who are very involved in our lives, including our pastor & his wife. We had a miscarriage in August 2015 while visiting my parents, so we are really hesitant to tell our parents & sibs and then have another miscarriage.
I plan on telling my mom tomorrow for a few reasons. #1 my mom already suspects so when I turn down wine tomorrow she isn't going to make it easy to not answer why. #2 my mom is a nurse and works for a company that does pre approval for infertility treatment and over the phone counseling for pretty much what I'm dealing with so if I need to talk or need support she is very knowledgeable and understanding. #3 she's my mom. I need my mom.
I told my husband the day I got a positive pregnancy test. I was only 4 weeks. The next week we told my parents and sister. They were so happy i think it was totally worth it. Also my dad is a MD so I ask him little things every day.
We haven't told my husband's parents because he thinks his mom will spill the beans. We don't want to make it to general public until we are beyond the 12 week mark.

I'm four weeks today and found out three days ago. The day of the test H was there and was going to wait a week to tell anyone which I knew wouldn't last. Later in the day I had some spotting and freaked out. Not the way I wanted tell my BFF but needed her to know all before we talked so I texted her this giant message with everything in it. This worked well for me. I waited till today (48 hours after spotting stopped) to tell my mom. Didn't go as planned as I was trying to be cute. I would have waited but I need my mom. No one that lives around here knows and I'm thinking of telling someone but I'm not really close to anyone. His parents will be in 6 weeks if I get my way but I know that won't happen.
The husband and two best friends, mostly because I didn't want my gym coach to be the first person we told. Then I told my gym coaches since I'll have to modify my CF workouts. Will wait to tell more people after the first u/s, especially since we know our parents won't be able to keep this kind of a secret.
We just told both sets of parents as soon as we found out. We will wait to tell extended family, friends, and coworkers once I'm safely past the first trimester. We did the same with DS and no one spill the beans.
I've now let it slip to 2 people at work, well 1 guessed, the other I dropped a big enough hint (2 woman who have children - 1 was recently a surrogate and the other has the same PCOS issues I do, only more severe). I have my appointment next week, maybe I can convince the NP to try the doppler. I want to hear/see a heartbeat before I tell family and just not sure when that's going to happen.
As of now ( 7w1D) only our parents and siblings know....oh and one of my dear friends that I work with who had to cover for me early on... I'm planning on telling my three best friends this weekend. I've already had my u/s and heard the baby's heartbeat. If things don't go as planned I figure I'll def want my BFFS by my side so they should know. I can't wait to let them in on the secret. They think I've been acting strange the last few weeks We will tell everyone else after the first trimester.

My parents, my 2 brothers, his mom and his 4 brothers. My best friend, she lives out of state and my cousin, who is pretty much like a sister to me. Thats all right now. I dont really want to talk about it with any other people right now. My parents are going on a month long trip to Florida in Feb with my dad's family so im sure the cat will be let out of the bag since this is their first grandbaby... GOODIE! not ready for all the questions yet!!!
Also dont want to deal with people at work knowing either. I work for my dad, and SO and i met at work. OH the talk once they found out we were dating... cant wait to hear all the BS when they find out about baby...
I told my DH right away and then my mom. We then waited for our first blood test (which was just two days later) to tell his mom and my best friend. I told my boss on Tuesday because I just wanted her to be aware if I am taking off for appointments. Tonight I will tell a good friend and more immediate family after the first ultrasound next Tuesday. The BIG reveal on social media will be in March.
I have told more people that originally planned!! I had planned on telling my parents, sisters and DH's mom right away and no one else until after my first scan at 10 weeks. But after showing up late for work 2 mornings cause of some nausea, I told my boss and co-worker as we are all way closer than most people that work together! Then one of my best friends told me that she was expecting at the end of August and I couldn't help but let it slip that our babies would be so close in age! But that is hopefully it for a while, as I am still pretty cautious with it being this early!
My husband, my parents and siblings, and my husband's mom. DH's dad has a big mouth, as do his siblings, so we all thought it better to not tell them until we're ready to go public, which will be after our 1st appointment on March 1st! I feel bad keeping it from them, but I kid you not, they will literally tell EVERYONE.
Sooooo hard keeping it in! Obviously DH knows. I told my sister first- I called her crying and freaking out when I first found out, because this wasn't planned. I allowed myself one day to freak out about it, and then move on to excited and the normal type of anxious. My best friend who married my cousin was next- she has a 6 month old (my goddaughter), and I knew she would be the right kind of support and resource for me. I work two jobs, so I told my boss at the early morning job because I've had to call out a couple of times over the last few weeks. I didn't want her to think I was a flake, and luckily she was very sweet and kind. I'm DYING to tell my mom, as we are really close, and my aunt, who has four kids and I'm also very close with. I'm not ready for the world to know yet though, and my mom is going to be too excited. This is our first, and I'm the oldest of four girls, so my mom has been wanting a grandbaby for years now. I thought about telling her Valentine's Day- our first OBGYN appointment is Feb 10th, so we will know for sure that everything is OK and have pictures by then. My dad is another story- he would have me wait till I was 50 if he had his choice, so I think he will be less than happy. DH's family will be thrilled. My cousin was smart, she told a few people but was very clear about banning it from social media and keeping it quiet. I'm most worried about my second (full-time) job, which is my dream job, managing an art museum. No short term disability and I'm not covered under FMLA, and I've been there six months.
Telling my parents tomorrow at dinner. Super nervous. I think they will be excited but my mom just mentioned about two months ago that she is in no hurry for grandkids
I told DH right away. We told our immediate families a few days later. Other than that, it's just a close friend and one coworker who know right now. We don't really plan to "go public" until after our first appt on 2/23, but I know I won't be able to resist telling a few of my close friends!!!
