  This is our third baby so we will probably just tell people lol probably after the first ultrasound unless I start being super sick again around week 7

  I've already been telling people close to me who I trust for support, sensitivity and comfort no matter how this pregnancy goes.
  Last time I waited till a family function in my second trimester and I was miserable going through first trimester alone. Took forever for my family to finally get together as well. I'm just going to let my daughter run around in a big sister shirt at Easter and post videos of it for everyone else. 
  My husband is trying to think of some fun way to tell his family. I'll leave him to it. I'm too tired and sick 😝

  I have only told my sister and my supervisor at work. I understand the excitement, but there is a reason most people wait until week 13. I miscarried my first 2 pregnancies and am glad I didn't tell everyone I was pregnant. Having to go back and tell them you lost it would be too difficult. I'm not trying to be a downer, but definitely think it through before you spread the news.

  I got a book called "how to be a big brother". I plan on taking a photo of my oldest(15 years) reading it to my youngest(1 year/13 months). This will be our Facebook announcement. But I tend to look pregnancy right away, so we'll be telling close family soon. I just want to see the ultrasound first.

  It’s our first pregnancy, and my husband’s family’s first grandchild, so I ordered some cute hats on Etsy to give his parents. They say “Grandpa (or Grandma) est. 2025” We’re going on a trip with them soon so I’m going to say we got them gifts for that. 

  
  

  My pregnancy journal asked what I’m looking forward to most at this time and it’s telling his family so I’m soooo excited!!

  I’m DREADING telling our families. My parents will be very excited and I’m dreading my mother telling me every single move I need to make. And his parents. Phew wee. It’ll be their first grandchild and they’ll go nuts. Be wanting to put it all over the internet and I do not want that at all. Really dreading telling the in-laws.

  We’ve been pretty open about it with friends and family, just haven’t told work yet. We’ve been through a loss before and it was so incredibly isolating trying to pretend like everything was ok, because not many people knew. I know everyone’s different, but I’d rather people know what we’re going through if we experience a loss again. Plus once we told the kids, they started telling everyone they see anyway haha.

  I'm also thinking of cute ways to tell people! I have to wait until May when I see them out of state so have some time to keep it to myself

  I can’t keep a secret! I need all the support I can get even if this pregnancy doesn’t make it I refuse to go through this alone. I’ve told the people I see on a weekly basis, but I haven’t announced it publicly. I’ve gotten some push back from certain people that I shouldn’t be telling people but frankly I don’t care! I am determined to do this at my comfort and my way. 

  If I loose this baby I am comfortable announcing that and bringing more awareness to miscarriages. I’ve been so incredibly sick there is no way I could’ve kept this secret, so I just went ahead told my people. I also get lots of anxiety around surprises so I just made phone calls. Call me untraditional but this is what I needed! Totally understand the decision to wait to tell people but I just chose not to do that because I need everyone on my team to understand what I’m going through.

  Our wedding day is in May and we’re going to announce the pregnancy at our rehearsal dinner! We will be exactly 13 weeks then. It’s been hard to keep it a secret from our parents but they live in different states and since this is our first child we think it will be awesome to reveal it this way when everyone is already together! 😊 I’ve already told some coworkers and my boss which has been fun at least having some people who know! It’s also nice that my boss is clued in for when I’m feeling super sick or tired.
