Have you told anyone? How are you telling? - Page 2

[mommysusie]

I told my MIL and FIL. Oh yeah... hubby too. I told a good friend of mine that had a loss too last year and helped me get through mine.
I am going to wait to tell everyone else, probably till after the new year.

The day we found out, we went out to dinner, and I was talking to the boy seated next to us (as ALWAYS). His dad said, "You've got baby fever!" (which has never happened to me). It must show. :

My DH feels like he doesn't have any family to tell (i.e., anyone he wants to tell). For reasons I don't quite understand but won't question, he felt like he had to tell somebody who has a biological connection to Roo. Then he remembered a cousin of his dad's, and he called and told her. She was like, I know, it's time. She was much more surprised that his 40th birthday is coming up!

I normally can't shut up so I just want to tell everyone b/c I am so excited.

But logic tells me to wait and ideally I really want to wait until at least 12 weeks pass and we get an ultrasound and a heartbeat before we tell our parents. Only b/c my MIL will tell the planet within 5 minutes of finding out. And *knock on wood* God forbid something goes wrong, it would just be too hard.

As for if we can keep it a secret that's going to involve willpower.

I have however told 3 of my close friends b/c I need to vent and have some emotional support other than my husband.

i am about to tell some friends because i need support -- dh and i are at each other's throats!

I have told DH and you guys and that's it. We told everyone pretty much right away with Ani, but with this one I just want to wait for some reason. It was kind of uncomfortable telling everyone last time because I wasn't really comfortable with the idea of being pg. I wish I had given myself a little more time to get used to it.

I kind of like having it as our little secret for now anyway. I told DH I'm not telling anyone until they start asking. I didn't really start showing last time until about 5 months, and I know I'll probably start showing earlier with this one, but we'll see.

I've told a lot of people. Both our families, a few friends, and my coworkers because I feel like crap and I want sympathy. DH told his coworkers, I guess because he's excited, and my mom told some more family. Last time I waited the 12 wks, but I couldn't keep it in this time.

Oh and for creative ways, I didnt have any, basically I just blurted out at the first opportune moment, Guess What, I'm Pregnant!

I've told my dh and my sister. I'm having a really hard time deciding when I should tell the rest of the family. I sorta want to just keep it a secret for awhile I think. It just doesn't feel like the right time to tell yet. Although, my mil will probably figure it out on Christmas Day. As soon as I turn down a glass of wine or eggnog (not that I'm a heavy drinker) she's going to ask loudly infront of everyone "Are you pregnant?" She does nothing quietly.

Only hubby knows and of course MDC. We usually don't tell anyone until after the 2 month, so I'm only 4 weeks now. I am finding it hard on how we will announce and when. This will be baby #5, I'm afraid everyone will freak out on me. I know my kids will be excited. So I plan on waiting as long as I can to let them know. Don't know if they'll be happy, cause I've gotten comments from both my mom and dh mom, "please don't have anymore" "we have enough grandchildren" The only one who will start questioning will be my mother she usually always has an incling. I would still like to surprise them, although they'll freak! any ideas. Last pregnancy I had my daughters announce the pregnancy to grandparents. Then they freaked when we found out we were having twins.

Maybe you can make believe your drinking wine. Accept a glass and spill some out once and while when no ones looking.

Ohh, I'll support you!

[Sabo]

I told dh the morning I tested and then by a fluke I saw my best friend and her dh (who happens to be my husband's best friend) later that night. I told her that I would not be able to make it to her Christmas party this Saturday and why. I hate that so many of my friends are smokers.

I want to wait until around 12 weeks to tell the rest of my friends, but I think they'll figure out why I haven't been around them and their nasty smoking habits for 2 months before I actually share the news. :

I plan to give my mom her Christmas gift and the tag will read, "To Mom, Love Your first born, mother-to-be"

Everybody knows! LOL Or well anyone who cares to listen Anyone close to me IRL knows, because they know we went for IVF again, and so they were calling like two days after the transfer to see if it 'stuck' yet! Like I even knew yet.
