When are you telling family & friends? - Page 3

Well, I finally told dh yesterday. I wanted to wait until I bought a digital test. With my last baby I showed him the positive test only to have him say "Oh, you're not pregnant" because he doesn't seem to see the faint lines. He was shocked, and then happy

So, my dh and my sisters know. I am planning on telling my closest friends at book club tomorrow night. We have family visiting from out of state in June, so we'll probably tell our parents then. Both sets of parents are local, and frequent babysitters, so we can't tell our children until we tell our parents or they'll spill the beans. My Mom and FIL tend to be pessimists, so they'll probably start talking about all of the negative "what-ifs" (medical, financial, and how a new sibling will effect our children) as soon as they know. I plan on enjoying my secret for a while before I have to deal with that

I told everyone the day after I found out. Made DD a big sister shirt and posted it on my blog then told everyone I knew to check it. One friend got mad that I told her this way, but she was the only one. Even our parents were fine with it so whatever. Last time around I wanted to keep it a big secret, but that didn't work out. Plus if something goes wrong I want the support.

We told our parents, siblings, and our best friends. We will probably wait to tell everyone else until either I get so amazingly sick that I know for sure I am pregnant, or until we see the doctor/hear a heartbeat. This is the same way we did it with our last two pregnancies.

I could never wait the whole first trimester without telling anyone!! We are blabbermouths LOL

I have no idea. I have a history of telling everyone right away. With my second child, I waited until I was 8 weeks to tell coworkers. That was a long time for me to wait. My BFF who I've always called the second I found out, has been TTC her 1st for 18 months now, and I just can't tell her yet. I feel so guilty about getting pregnant on the very first opportunity, not even really TTC. It's just no fair for her. If I can't tell her, I don't really want to tell anyone. DH and I will probably talk about it later today. We're both still reeling from seeing that positive test this morning.
