Is anyone thinking about how they will eventually announce to friends/family or even on social media?? I would love to hear everyone’s ideas!

For family, we’re going to send a video of my daughter saying “I’m a big sister” and see if they can figure out what she’s saying (she’s 2). For everyone else, I found a T-shirt that says “good things are coming” so likely will incorporate that in a photo somehow.

I dont know! Ive really been thinking about my social media announcement. I think i want to wait until MUCH closer to the date, probably christmas? The people who matter to me the most already know.

Thinking but not sure yet. Wanted to take a picture with our daughter and writing on the beach but she didn’t really cooperate lol. We did see a rainbow today and I took a picture of that, maybe we’ll do something with that. 🤷🏾‍♀️ No clue. Definitely waiting for late fall or early winter to announce

I'll hit second tri the week of my son's 3rd birthday, so I'm pretty sure we'll incorporate an announcement in with some birthday pictures!

We already announced to family with a "big brother" shirt. My parents and in laws are first generation Korean so they didn't quite understand haha. They were thrilled once they figured it out.

I'm with you on waiting to disclose on social media. It was the same for my first.

I think we are going to start slowly telling people as we see them in person. I love the idea of putting my son in a big bro tshirt and waiting to see how long it takes for people to notice. We are doing small visits here and there as COVID19 cases are thankfully better controlled in my state.

We're absolutely waiting to disclose publicly - I do have to figure out how I want to do that though. I want to acknowledge our journey, but MH doesn't love a lot of the "typical" IVF pregnancy announcements. So more to come.

We are going to tell his parents, his brother, and sister-in-law on Sunday when they come over for MH's birthday. They all knew we were doing IVF, his mom has continually asked for updates (from him thankfully!) and they knew we did a transfer recently. MH told his father to not let me help move shed pieces last weekend, so essentially everyone knows we're waiting on a pregnancy test.

MH's family loves scratch tickets, and every bday card has them inside. MH bought some of the pregnancy announcement ones from Amazon, and we're going to pretend they came in one of his cards and ask his mom to scratch them for him.

My seat belt is really bothering my right boob. Itll either hit the nip or rub the inside and they are so strange feeling right now its bothersome. Sometimes it almost feels like I have milk in them.

I have only told two of my best friends and two of my closest coworkers. We haven’t even told any of our family yet because we want to wait until after the first appointment to confirm heartbeat. I will definitely wait until 2nd trimester to announce publicly. Probably after I get NIPT results back and know the sex of the baby.
