So you are you telling???

[Bolli]

So just thought I'd find out who/when your all telling people.

We've told our immediate families - Mums, dads, sisters, neices, nephews, etc but they have been sworn to secrecy and not tell our extended family.

I was thinking that would be it but already . . . we've also told some close friends when they came to dinner - there was no other way to explain the booze hag who had been TCC not drinking wine. I've told a few people at work so they understand when I skip out for the various things. DH has told 3 people at his work "secret mens business chatting ;) " but I'm pleased because one of them wife has just popped and has been giving him great advice on how to support me.

I'm off to a hens night when I'm about 9 weeks so will probably share the news then - again because everyone will guess the minute I don't drink . . .

I think I'm mostly worried I'll jinx it, if I did miscarry I would probably tell people why I was sad . . .

Whats every one else doing?

[OopsieDaisy]

We have told our girls, parents and best friends.
Work and other friends etc we will wait until the 12 weeks mark :)

[mysteeq]

My mum,sis,2 brothers,Best friend and Manager know at the moment we are going to wait till im 3 months to tell everyone else.

We've told everyone, and I mean EVERYONE. Immediate family, extended family, friends, work mates, check out chicks, the postman... OK getting a bit carried away, but yes, there is no one that doesn't know. The way I see it, if something does go wrong (which it won't :D ) ppl are going to know something is wrong with me anyway, so they may as well know what it is and that way we get a bit of support.

[Rachel&Emma]

We're the same. We've told EVERYONE except work. They're going to have a fit when they find out I need more time off work to have another baby. :laughing:

same here...we just couldn't wait, so exciting!!

[Bolli]

Can't wait, R&E - I'm soo tempted to tell everyone too. I wonder how much longer I'll last . . .

How's my brain - big typo in the thread title:rolleyes:

[Rachel&Emma]

Things like that always make me laugh. Baby brain is a real event. It drives my husband mad. I'm just worried that it gets worse with each baby!:laughing:

[fozzie]

Well I was only going to tell my parents and inlaws and all were sworn to scerecy. However I had told a close friend as she had hinted that she thought I was and she was one of the only people who knew we were TTC. Then DH couldn't keep his mouth shut and has told his sister and best friend in the UK then last night rang good friends that have moved here too.:rolleyes: So tonight I'm calling my best friends in the UK to tell them and I'm going to tell my Uncle and Aunt who live nearby as they are going to be the ones who look after the boys for us when I go in to have the baby. Oh yeah and we told our boys last night.:D :laughing:
So much for secrecy.:ecomcity:

[WeloveHarriet]

We are 5 weeks today and so far have only told our parents and sisters (as well as their families). I also have told my Pram Pushers exercise class because I am cancelling going (have an incompetent cervix and unable to do any strenuous exercise). We are trying to wait until we are 8 weeks as we will have a scan at 7wks to make sure everything is okay. Not sure why we are being so cautious this time as with first pregnancy we didn't find out until we were 16wks so told everyone straight away (unfortunately lost baby at almost 20wk) then with Harriet we told everyone when we were just 4wks.

[Bexta]

We told our immediate families & just my best friend. Will wait until people start to guess at work...:detective:

Getting really good at this keeping a secret business... still havn't accidently spilled the beans about DP & I eloping on the 17th of next month!!!:D Then we will probably cop all the 'shot-gun wedding' jokes when his friends & work mates hear about the pregnancy after that!!!

I still think my mum is going to be really sore about the whole running away to get married thing... but she's one of the reasons!!!:laughing:

Hi guys,

I'm new to this thread, I bot a BFP on Saturday (and have done a second since... another BFP!) but am still waiting for my blood test results.

My approx. due date is 20 May, so I'm about 5 weeks.

We haven't told anyone yet, not sure whether to wait until 12 weeks or not. I'm actually really undecided about it.

Part of me just wants to get it out there because I'm so excited. But on the other hand, I barely have a single pregnancy symptom and it's making me nervous that I might miscarry.

So I'm not sure what to do. :confused:

[Michelle_N]

I am going to wait until my 12 week scan. I just want to know that the baby is healthy and everything is in the right place before I tell everyone.

Just want to be on the safe side. Might be being a bit too cautious especially with my first being so damn good looking and perfect but as I am getting older I just want to be sure its all ok.

We told family & a couple of close friends, but now everyone at work pretty much knows as well. We both work at the same place (but different sections, so we work with different people), so poor DH had to wait until I had told my boss & a few others before he could. But I have been so rotten sick this past week that i ended up in hospital on sunday on a drip. I also look terrible, so figured people would figure it out soon anyway!!

We told early with DD too, and i felt like being a bit more cautious this time, but once the sickness hit - it's hard to keep a secret as I am a 6-8 times a day :barf: . It was nice to tell people when i was feeling well too. Although I am still over the moon about being preggas again, it's hard to sound excited when you are constantly running to the ladies!

[squiglet]

We have kept the secret so far.
However I think a couple of people are onto us, a freind of my dh is always asking if we are having a baby (so unpolite) and my MIL and Aunti IL look at my tummy a lot. I just know they are talking behind my back:rolleyes:

But I hit 12 weeks tomorrow and we are telling everyone on Sunday. We are being nice and waiting till my BIL has had his engagement party, so as not to take any attention away from them.

Hi Jane and welcome to May Mummy's! The 20th May is my brother's birthday and he is just a beautiful Taurean. Congratulations! Don't even worry about not having any symptoms, I had none til pretty much this week and I'm only now starting to feel a tiny bit sick. It doesn't mean anything except that you're lucky you're not sick... yet :D

Charlis_mum I am so sorry to hear that you are sick! And being on a drip :hugs: I really hope you feel better soon.

[lozza]

I'm with can'twait and borntobemummy! We started off just with a few people and then a few more and pretty much all our friends and immediate family know now! My first scan isn't until 11 weeks so hopefully i can hold off till then to tell work and remaining family. Everyone was on to me the minute I refused a drink! I am of the opinion that if anything horrible does happen I would want people to know so they tread more carefully around the topic.

Hi girls,

I am such a big mouth and sooooo excited about getting pregnant that i couldn't keep my mouth shut. Besides with what's been going on i've had to tell a lot of ppl as i have had to disappear off to the docs and the hospital so a lot of ppl at work now know and they have all been very understanding and supportive. Besides i ended up letting it slip to the work gossip and i knew from that moment it was all over!!!! husband was NOT impressed, but like you cantwait i figure at least then if i do miscarry (which i won't) ppl around me will know and be able to support me and not feel like they are sticking their nose in.

Good luck girls in telling everyone, i love to shout it. Though with the bleeding i am not shouting it so much now as keeping quite and waiting to see the 12 wks through!!!

Kate:fingerscrossed:

ME 30
DH 30
DD 8/05/07

[marlie]

Hiyya girls. Well, despite wanting to keep quite I have told my mum, brother, sister (and her girls); plus my team at work and my netball team! For work and netball, half the motivation in telling was so I had a excuse for working/playing so badly!!!!! :o :D Immediate family are sworn to secrecy, but if spilling the beans is genetic, then half the world will know by now!! :laughing:

DH tells me that he doesn't want to tell his family until post twelve weeks. He's got so much will-power though, and I am just a blab!! I will just have to avoid talking to them in the meantime...

Tis quite hard to keep mouth shut. It seems to have a mind of its own... :p
