Do you tell people that you're ttc? - Page 2

Not this time.  We told people when we were trying for DD and it took a bit.  Nothing out of the ordinary long but it was long considering (and we were the first of our group).  But I don't know what else we would have done since our group of friends hung out several times a week and wine or beer was usually involved. ;)

This time we are being quiet although I answer questions with "yes, we'd like one more - sooner than later."  And when (if) I get pregnant, we've decided to keep it a secret until the second tri when we feel comfortable telling DD (she'd be, at minimum, 5 1/2 years old then) since it seems so weird to let others know but not her.

no, b/c we are TTC #5 and people think we have plenty of kids as it is.

I've told my mom, sister, and best friend, but won't be telling anyone else, mostly because we already have three kids, and the responses from my mom, sister, and best friend have all been along the lines of, "You're insane!" or "That's ridiculous!"  So yeah, I'm keeping the news to myself I'm 12 weeks pregnant.

We told family and some friends. At least if you tell them that they can't start assuming it was a 'whoops' baby.

We've been open about it but partly because I couldn't hide my baby fever if I tried. I hope that I don't regret it. I'm keeping talk of it off facebook or other internet sources (this doesn't count, right?!) so it's not public knowledge but the people we see on a weekly basis all know. Ultimately, they're the people I'll lean on if it turns out we're having problems so I feel okay about it.

We haven't told people we're trying, but have made it known that there will probably be another baby. I get asked if I'd have another one 'for' SO because he's step-dad to our kids and he doesn't have one of his 'own'... constantly. He feels that the kids ARE his, biological crap doesn't matter, but he wants to experience the baby stages (DD was 4 when we got together) and I want to experience the baby stages WITH someone.

Yes. Everyone knows. And everyone knows we're having trouble too. So people are pretty supportive/considerate.
