Who have you told? - Page 2

I've only told my DH and sister. DH is bursting to tell someone so I said he could tell one friend that has no ties with others to avoid is spreading. I'll tell my family once I hear a heartbeat and he can tell his family after the 1st trimester. They won't be any support to me so they can get the news last. I'm 5w5d.

I told DH and my Sister. It took her 12 months to get pg with #2 (she's due Feb)and she was a bit sniffy that pregnancy comes so easily to us. I understand but it makes me a bit sad as we are usually very close.

My Dad is coming to Moscow on Sunday so I'm telling him and his gf then. DS has a tshirt saying Big Brother so he's going to be wearing that when they arrive and I bet they won't get it!

It's bittersweet for me because my Mum passed away 3 years ago, right before I got pg with DS. It breaks my heart that I don't get to share my children with her as she would've been the most incredible Grandmother.

Ok, forgive the waterworks, I'm really hormonal and having awful m/s today!!

I haven't told anyone except DH. Last time we told our families right away and swore them to secrecy. Then after I had a m/c I found out that some of them had been blabbing, making for some very uncomfortable situations with people I did not want to discuss it with. This time we decided on not telling ANYONE until we hear baby's heartbeat around 12 weeks at our initial appointment. Ah! It's already driving me crazy and I'm only 5 weeks 3 days. We have an ultrasound at 7 weeks, but even if we get to see the heartbeat, I feel like it's still too soon.

DH, he told his parents, my Dad, one friend and will be telling a few more tonight b/c going to Phish shows in Cincy and friends will wonder why I am not having a drink...don't really want to tell them but they are pretty smart ppl and will likely figure it out.

Will tell the rest of the family at the holidays.

We've told my mom-in-law and a couple of discreet friends, will probably tell my parents tomorrow.

[calmom]

after m/c and stillbirth in the last 15 months, i've only told dh, couple irl friends who i KNOW will be supportive and my pg after loss friends here. we'll be telling maybe at 12 weeks, maybe even longer for family.

I told my dearest girlfriend today. She made me keep quiet for her pregnancy during her wedding so owes me secrecy!

Tonight we had my sister in law and her husband and their 4 mo old baby over for dinner. My dh and brother in law were in the kitchen while we were in the living room oogling over the baby...he flat out asked my dh if I was pregnant?!! omg. My dh tried to evade the question, but I'll bet he knows...sheesh.

AND...the first person I told other than my husband (and I told him with a "um, honey, can you come in here please? does this look like a line?" when it was very clearly and unambiguously a line) and the doctor's office is...

My dentist.

How unromantic.

But I have an appointment for Dec. 22 for some non-urgent work that will require anesthesia, and I'll probably need to move that appointment. (Incidentally, I had some other work done Nov. 13--but what's done is done, the anesthetic is Category C with no embryofetal toxicity in mice but no data for actual humans, they used a tiny bit of it, I'm not worried.)

[teale]

DH, my best friend, and three other really close, supportive girlfriends who would be super helpful and comforting in the event of a miscarriage. One person found out because she wanted me to take a shot at a party, and I couldn't...I think she's told more people since then, but none of confirmed this. I just get the feeling.


We haven't announced on Facebook, and we haven't told any family members. We're thinking of waiting until Christmas, which would be our 12 week mark, so it would be good time on all fronts.

I've told a few other people now. My boss, my mom/sister and step dad, two friends and my kids. My step dad's father died last week after a fight with a brain tumor, so I thought some good news was needed.

I think we are going to break the news to MIL this week. My oldest can't seem to keep a secret.
