I have told my dh, my mom, and four of my good friends.

I have also experienced a m/c and I agree that it's nice to have a support system in place!

Well, I've told two mama friends, dh and dd1. One of those mama friends is an MDC mama, so she already knew, and the other I just had to tell cause we're on the same wavelength. :-) I've *almost* told several others, but I just can't quite bring myself to share the secret, even though I WANT to . Anyone else feeling like that?

i've only told dh and you all here. i'll probably wait a couple months to tell my family, maybe sooner for my close friends. i kind of enjoy having the secret

I haven't told anybody yet. Just found out yesterday, and I'm barely 4 weeks (my period isn't even due yet until Friday), so I am paranoid about something happening.

I'm really close to my mom, so I'll probably break down and tell her around 5 or 6 weeks if I can wait. Haven't decided about friends yet. I guess a good rule to follow is that we should be telling people we would want support from if something happened.

Mr. Kaliki is delirious with joy and dying to tell someone--he told me that he finally broke down and told the homeless guy for whom he buys coffee every morning!

I dunno. I know it becomes "safer" at 12 weeks. Is there another point like that in the first trimester? Like it's pretty safe at 8 weeks and really, really safe at 12?

We have told one friend each, and I have let the entire online world know...but we havent told any familyand probably wont for a few more weeks at least.
I don't want to deal with everyone freaking out about me havin kids so close together and I just want to get where I am comfy with everything before I invite advice from the families.

Well, I have told all you ladies, my dh of course and my mom and that is it until I at least hear a heartbeat. I had a mc in Sept (10 wks) and again in Jan (5 wks) so not feeling so upbeat here. I am on progesterone now so more hopeful than before, but still so worried and scared. I am really looking forward to the day I can let everybody know
