1st Trimester
sharing the good news
When did you tell people you were pregnant? I was supposed to go out with a couple of friends tomorrow (one of whom is pregnant and was happy to be designated driver), but since I found out I was pregnant this week, I needed to tell them so we could change plans. (I figured the other friend wouldn't want to drink by herself!). We didn't feel right about telling some friends without our parents knowing so we told our parents. I've only known I'm pregnant for four days!!! Have we told people too soon? Who did you tell and when?

Re: sharing the good news
We have told close friends and family. I was getting pretty sickly at work eariler this week and a few people figured it out. So, I've already talked to the ladies in HR, and my boss.
We had orginally decided not to tell anyone outside close friends and family until after the first tri was over, but that didn't work out to well for us.
We told one friend at 7 weeks since she was in from out of town, another couple visiting us at 8 weeks since they were visiting from out of town, my team co-workers at 7 weeks due to dr. appts. and Family after 11 weeks (Christmas) then we waited to tell most friends until after the first tri. I am still nervous to let more people know because I am still nervous!
We have told our whole familes (parents, siblings, grandparents, cousins- we have really large familes so that's a lot of ppl!), our close friends, and my grandmother told basically our whole church (which actually isn't that many people). Still haven't told work or other friends- we;ll do that after we hear the heartbeat (which should be February 9th).
We figure if anything did happen, we'd want everyone's support.

Our plan was to wait and tell everyone after 1st tri, but then DH opened his big mouth at work the next day. I didn't feel it was right for DH's co-workers to know before our parents so we called them that afternoon. I'm a little worried that everyone knows so early, but I figure I would tell them anyways if something went wrong.
i have heard people tell everyone they know the minute they found out they are expecting and others wait until the first trimester is over with. i wanted to wait until i was out of my 3rd month, but telling a few people i found leads to a whole lot of people knowing...i just began my 9th week and nearly everyone knows. if you feel comfortable now, go for it! but having close friends and family know is an added bonus for support and love!
