So who will you tell when?

[phillychiquita]

So right now it is just DH that knows, and my midwife Christy.
Of course, I am really really early, but I am already obsessing about who I will tell when...my parents are going to be the hardest to keep it from -- they are dying for grandchildren, and I see them almost every day or so. My mom, at some point, is just going to *know* (she seems to have a sixth sense) and I want to beat her to the punch if I can.

Who have you already told?

Will you wait until after the first trimester to tell, or do it before?

[Rainbow2911]

We will tell family and friends after 12 weeks. Just in case.... sad thought but it has happened to us before. I think my mum might guess tho - I am really getting loads of sickness at the moment and I don't think she will fail to notaice that when she visits next weekend!

[Emma's_Mommy]

we will be telling out parents on father's day, as for our friends we will be waiting a month or so before telling them.

[ollineeba]

We didn't wait at all to tell anyone with our first two children. This time we might let it sink in a little while first, but we probably won't wait long to tell our families and friends.
One of my best friends is pg right now with her second and she would just be thrilled if we were pg at the same time again! (we each have 18 month olds, too)

We're telling my parents and grandma tonight...I am nervous!!!

[HeatherKae]

We are going home for a month in a couple of weeks and we'll tell everyone back there then. We haven't been able to tell any of them in person with our first two, so it is worth the wait.

We are telling all of our friends here in Seoul now. I cannot keep a secret to save my life and telling them helps me keep it from my family and friends back home.

[NCMomworld]

Dh and my sisters know. We aren't sure when to tell the rest of the family and our kiddos. We were thinking Father's Day, but might wait until our moms have their birthdays in August. I can't keep secrets, so we'll see!

[Lizzo]

I told my fam...my mom was not happy, but dad is cool about it and my Grammy is as sweet as pie and is excited.

[libragirl]

I think we'll tell people right away....we waited last time and had a m/c at 10 weeks. This time I'd rather give people the good news first. I just got the BFP yesterday so I think we'll tell family this week.

[Gray's Mommy]

We told everyone within a week of the positive test. We figured that we are going to celebrate this wonderful news & enjoy the time that we have with this little one inside me. We've experienced a m/c before & will enjoy what we have right this very minute.

[Joyful Mama]

we're telling both families on father's day.
i JUST told my best friend because we were on the phone and she kept saying "can you believe you might be pregnant right now?" so i had to tell her!
aside from a few close friends who we'll tell once our parents know, we'll tell everyone else after the first trimester is over, like we did with DS #1.

[ella*enchanted]

Sigh...I'm thinking I'll wait until it's time to deliver. Seriously, though, no one in our family has made a huge secret of their displeasure at the size of our family so letting the cat out of the bag hasn't been much fun since probably baby #3.

Only DH and my best friend know right now. And of course, my online friends.

[ekblad9]

My friends and family are delighted! We've really only told people that we know will react positively. Dh's family is not good and have freaked out since baby number 3 so I don't know when/if we'll tell them. They all live far from here, don't call, and never visit so really we could never tell them and they wouldn't know until he/she was here and we sent pictures. It's such a bummer that people think it's their business to react negatively. My parents live two miles down the road and help us SO much with the kids, it's almost embaressing. Yet they were thrilled that we are expecting again. Dh's mom has come to visit like twice in all this time and does nothing for us but gets all bent out of shape when we have new babies! UGH! :

I'm thinking we'll keep it to ourselves until about October. Or maybe I'll just say to heck with it and tell everyone. Right now I'm in a bit of shock (this was a big surprise) so I want some time to let it sink in.

[CourtCourt]

DH's parents know, because he can't keep a secret to save his life. My mother and I do not talk, so she'll have to hear it through the grapevine. My father is coming to visit next month, though I'm planning on keeping it a secret from him until the 20 week ultrasound, and will send him a copy of that to tell him.

All of my close friends knew from day 1 (two of them were with me when I tested!)

[NCMomworld]

I am sorry your families are not being supportive! My in-laws will be happy, but I expect some grief from my mom. Sigh. We see my parents every week though (they go to church with us) so I'll need to tell them sooner rather than later. I am trying to come up with a creative way to tell them.

[stretchmark]

I'm 5 1/4 weeks and was tihnking I'd like to wait until week 12 to tell people (that is my dad's birthday.

I've been getting a little anxious about it though and think it might happen a bit earlier. I'd at least like to wait until week 8.

We are visiting in-laws in around the 21st and I will have to hide my increased appetite and slight need to dry-heave if we wait until after that. They are the ones who wouldn't be so happy about the whole thing so I'd want to wait until after they could be unhappy in my presence.

[Sara Ann]

I've told my stepsister and a few friends I know and have met online. I think I have Jason convinced to tell his parents and family on Father's Day. My dad is out of state til the 25th, so when he gets back we'll tell. I want to tell but I kind of like having it a secret. I kind of want to tell the children's parents (one's a close friend) I care for but am thinking of waiting a couple weeks. I don't think I'll be able to keep it a secret though.

[nettehead]

I told EVERYONE already. I was just too excited not too.

[Adensmommy]

I practically screamed it from the roof top.

We suffered a second trimester loss in March. My feelings are that no matter how short there lives may be here on earth they deserve to attleast make some sort of impact and touch as many lives as they can. And what a beautiful thing to share.
