Who have you told so far? - Page 2

So far, only my husband and I know and that is how it has to stay for a while.

As I said on the intro post, my situation is a little complicated. I have an unusual situation in that I know my baby has a 50% chance of inheriting a nasty genetic defect from me. We will be doing CVS testing and are planning on terminating if it comes back positive. Most people see how "normal" I am and don't understand that I am better than 99.9% of people with the disorder. I have a lot of hidden symptoms of the disease (various deficiencies, infertility, etc.). If I can stop it now, it stops in our family forever. I would rather make the tough decision than force that decision on my kids.

And to top it off, our families are very anti-abortion so we can't share any of this with them. So, we've got to hide it until we get the results at the end of March. Luckily they live out of town so it won't be too hard. I've just got to find a way to hide the "no alcohol" thing from everyone for a few months. I know they will be suspicious no matter what but we've got to give it a shot.

Me: Just mustard and pickles. Oh, and no fries, only a burger!

him: Would you like some extra pickes? (big smile)

Me: No thanks. (wink)

I'm waiting for 6 weeks, though I've almost blurted out the news a dozen times already. It was hard not to tell my bible study buddies last night. Hope to tell our family and siblings first.

I just told my DH and the gal in the ladies room at the restaurant we were at tonight! Id like to tell my mom and sister and mil in a few weeks...and then tell everyone else once the first trimester is over. Last baby we waited until 12 weeks to tell my mom and sister, and waited until 16 weeks to tell mil - but we had planned a visit out to visit mil and figured it would be more fun to tell her in person.

I've told my DH, my DS (who doesn't get it, he's 16 months, but he's started babbling about 'baybee' though, lol) and my birthboard from Sept. 07, formerly from pregnancy weekly, but we moved and went private.

My parents don't know yet, and I told DH to tell him parents first this time, since last time they were the last to know... looooong story, they have a pretty toxic relationship with DH, and he was almost ready to move and cut them out completely. That should happen next month, then we'll tell my family.

DH and I are the only ones that know. I did tell a few online friends that I have known for several years, but that's it. I'm terrified to tell my children for some reason. We plan to tell our families in another month or so. We will see how it goes.

[Catubodua]

no one. i've only mentioned it on this board. not even telling DH until i get a few more days of BFP's.

Well, I've told my husband (he actually told me), and then I told my mother. I can't keep anything from her. We've lost 8 babies, and it's really hard to tell people each time, so we are waiting for a heart beat. While we know everyone will be supportive eventually; we were charting to AVOID, and everyone already thinks we're crazy for having more than 2. So, until we feel confident about it, we won't be sharing. My mom knows we want a big family, and thinks it's cool. She had three and would have had more looking back.

We told our family today-my ILs can't keep a secret so everyone will know soon enough, plus my MIL had that dream about us being pg and having a baby boy. I just can't keep a secret and everyone would probably know because I already am all poochy and starting to show. I guess for me my family would need to know anyway. My grandma said she knew I was pg or trying because the last time she saw me I didn't have a glass of wine, umm hello it was 11am, she's so annoying.

I guess I just cannot keep things from my friends and or family, I told my bf as soon as I got a BFP, she had me take another test to make sure. This week I got a strong confirmation test in about 2 seconds so I guess I just feel comfy telling people. My SIL got on my case last time about telling people too early, but it's none of her business. She'll probably say the same thing this time but she likes to be such a Know it all.

I've told DH and DS (although DS didn't really understand). And, three friends (my 2 closest local girlfriends and my BFF in France). I'm dying to tell my mom (we're very close), but my DH isn't ready to tell his fam yet (there was a baby loss on that side right before xmas and he feels it's too soon for us to announce) and it's not fair to tell my fam without telling his fam. So, we're waiting a few more weeks to tell our families. I do, however, have 3 more friends that I will likely tell soon (one still has all of my maternity clothes).

I told DH, my sister and one of my good friends because I gave her all my tests due to my POAS addiction so I had to get her to bring me one. lol
