Who have U told?

[Lozie]

Just wondering how many of us have shared the news that we are expecting??
I have told my Sil on Dh's side and Dh's brother and father know but they are all keeping it very hush hush.

I havnt told my mum, cause she would be mad at me i think (i suspect she suspects tho)

Sorta sliped it to My sil last night tho didnt get into it too much, And thats it might seem like few of ppl know but the size of our families combined thats nuttin:rolleyes:

And no one else i have seen lately knows not a clue:D

So who have u told??

[jaasssy82]

No-one but you guys lol

its easier for me to hold it in then my DP as this is his first and he is bursting to tell eveyone... we will after easter then i will be 7 weeks ( that or if the sickness is showing too much b4 then well u know u may have to come out earlier)

See how long i can hold out... not sure how his parents are going to be so its a little concerning everythough they love my DS who is almost 2.. they always say they are too young to be grandparents..( they dont get a say lloll) but then again u can see how clucky they are too lol:ecomcity: .. when i sold the cot a few mths ago to put bub in a bed she was a little shocked...:" U sold it:( ... lol

[tally]

Noone but internet friends and a couple of friends.

We're waiting till our 7/8wk scan before saying anything just to be sure everythings ok.

[EcstaticEm]

I could not keep my mouth shut :o
My family and Chris's Family know, and some of our work mates.. Had to spill the beans at work, after I locked up the Bookshop Till Money in the Staff freezer, and a couple of other uh-oh incidents.

Was way to excited/nervous to concentrate at work. They all know how long we have been trying, so they are really supportive. Had one say its way too early to tell people, what will you do if you misscarry. I would get our manager to let them all know. I cant think about that stuff right now, though, I am obviously aware we are still in the early days! Its further than we have ever got!:smiliedance:

(felt like id told way way way to many people, then was reading up the duff, had to giggle at her.. "hmm, how many people have we told.. well, under 100"!:laughing: )

[Lozie]

:laughing: Em!

I kept jacy a secret sorta only from my dad really
He didnt know til i was about 28 weeks:o i got mum to tell him too:rolleyes:

With caleb i didnt care i told everyone

but with this one i know i'm gonna get all the crude remarks and all

and all the cr*p Dh and i have been thru over the last year i dont think any one will like it very much my side or his:rolleyes: just a little worried of reactions atm.

[4tiggers]

No one knows but my friend (who is a nurse) who was kind enough to give me the injections I needed for ivf. I had to tell her because she knew everything already. I am hoping to wait till after easter when I will be nearly 12 weeks. I miscarried at 8 weeks last time so want to keep it under wraps.

[SweetDreams]

Told people online, family and close friends. Chris hasn't told people he works with yet (I think he's going to do that soon) some of which are close friends but we don't want it advertised in work circles yet in case something goes wrong y'know?! lol

[Kizmet]

we've told my mum, everyone on here , some friends -told dh's parents and then MIL asked us to tell everyone else as she was sick of lying to her children for us...noice huh dh is one of her children! anyway now we're not keeping it a secret but i havent told my family just yet :o

[mim_adam]

Both dps and my mum know my dad and my nan and brothers thats about it oh and my best friend. I am waiting till after the scan tomorrow to tell everyone else.

[Hoping]

We told our families when I was about 7 weeks. We waited until we saw piglet's heartbeat on the 7 week scan before we told anyone. We are waiting until after our second OB appointment at the beginning of May before we tell friends. I'll be about 14 weeks by then and safely past the first trimester. Plus we will know the results of the nuchal fold translucency scans.

[salt water]

Nobody :) - with my last pregnancy we only started telling people at 20 wks, hoping this will be the same.

[goose]

only my mum.. was going to tell everyone at 10 weeks, but at the rate my tummy is growing it will give it away... so might have to tell at 10 weeks..

Im 8 weeks 2 days

[Vespera]

Well here is my tale of woe

We found out on Saturday that we were pregnant which was awesome as my parents and my sister were in town (they are from the country) as my sister was flying out to go backpacking. So we thought we would tell them on Saturday night at dinner. But my sister had a sad about us giving my dad his birthday present as the weekend was supposed to be all about her. Needless to say we didnt tell them and now I have no idea how to tell them :no:

BUT we have told DH's parents who were very very excited (they were planning on moving to Adelaide but now they dont want to because of the baby) not sure if thats a blessing or a curse. As we have told 2 of our friends.

Silly me wanted to keep it a secret til 12 weeks but as soon as I saw those 2 lines I wanted to tell everyone!!

[kaybee]

Havne't told anyone except you guys. We were definitely palnning to wait till after 12 weeks, but DH is so excited he wants to tell everyone, so we are thinking just our families after my dating scan, or around 8 weeks. Then tell our friends and workmates at 12 weeks.

[MegACT]

I have told 2 friends at work, my parents and brothers, 2 of my closest friends and i told my manager today. Oh and also my friends online. DP has told a few mates. We are waiting to tell the in-laws on Mother's Day. And then everyone else after that :)

[perrywinkle]

Have told close friends and close family only and internet friends too. Had a date scan today and I'm due 11/11/07. So I'm 7 weeks 4 days. I thought I was 8 weeks 4 days got my dates confused!!!

[Vespera]

Scrub my last message - I rang my parents and my sister today and told them

My sister cried and my mum was shocked but very happy

[Moops]

We hadnt planned to tell anyone till after the 12 week scan but the in laws to be are arriving this afternoon to stay for 4 days, there is no way im going to be able to hide the m/s for that long so we are planning to tell them tonight!!

Oh and yes that means the m/s is baacccckk!!! Only one day off unfortunately, very weird!

[mummy2sophie]

All of bubhub knows (of course). And my mothers' group (they were first to know). DH just told his boss and a workmate yesterday.

DH's parents are coming to visit from Canada and will be meeting DD for the first time. That will be when I'm 10 weeks (just under 3 weeks time) and we will tell them the night they arrive. Can't wait! I LOVE my MIL and FIL. My family down in Melbourne will told on same day. I'm worried about their reaction because my mum and sisters were very against us moving to Sydney and now with children they will be horrified they have so little to do with them and that I have so little support. What support do I need tho?? I've got you guys and my friends and mothers' group here in Syd!

Hey moops still having sleeping troubles then! :no:

[Feral]

I am 12 weeks 4 days, we havent told family yet we wanted to wait till 12 weeks, we had nuchal scan and will probably wait till results then tell family = 14 weeks
I told my boss = result.. I no longer work.
I was paying the rent and my landlady asked why not at work, I said I dont work anymore Ive got the most important job of all, Im going to be a mum, I kind of just blurted this out. she was thrilled.
My partner told his new boss and she told everyone.
I told a lady I met (total stranger) on her morning walk, she was nice.
My parents rang a few weeks ago to invite themselves up for a holiday, they dont know Im preg yet, I partner suggested we tell them when they get here, Ill be about 5 months
:laughing::laughing: :laughing:

[Moops]

Hey moops still having sleeping troubles then! :no:

Lol don't forget im on London time! But yes still finding it hard to settle at night! :yes:

[Lozie]

Well my aunty knows now tho i didnt tell her she just looked at me, and went to say it and i gave a look and she didnt say anything. I had to tell her anyway cause she's preggers too and our babies will be 3 months apart:D so exciting. but still keeping it a secret, so shush! dont tell anyone:laughing:

[Clinya]

We have only told my parents, brother and his fiance plus DH's father.

We don't make the big announcement until 12 weeks :)

[MrsX]

I have told a few close friends, my mum & my sister. I have no doubt that my mum will blab to everyone regardless of us asking her not too like she did with my sister :mad:. Everyone else will find out at our daughters 2nd birthday :D

[Kizmet]

mrs x what date is your DD's birthday? will your true identity be revealed after this date? :detective: :wizard:

[jaasssy82]

My Dp is finding it soo hard to keep quiet.. i agreed to tell his parents when i hit 7 weeks so another week n a bit.. hope he can hold out... as for my mum.. well she lives in syd and will be happy... its my dad who lives up here that will prob lecture me about it telling me im not finacally stable enough etc... we get by fine just cause we aret mega rich doesnt meen we wont cope... dony u think... that s the only part i am a bit nervous about as i want dad to be happy but i think i will cop it...i just want to be happy:wave:

[MrsX]

mrs x what date is your DD's birthday? will your true identity be revealed after this date? :detective: :wizard:
It will all be revealed in due time :laughing: I dont think i'll be able to keep it quiet for that long, not here anyway. With my family I will, but thats cause I dont want to tell them, I dont want all the comments.

We'll probably be feeling a lot better after I have a scan in 9 days & counting :yes:

[jaasssy82]

my DP wanted to tell his parents today when we went to visit,,, but it turned out they had a guest and there was no right time.... so we have waited fewwww what i wanted anyways..lol

[Lozie]

Dh told his Mother last night and apprently she wasnt very happy, told him we are stupid and all the rest, like the TV comment, oh get over it woman. still havnt told anyone on my side then I'm sure my Bro will think we are trying to take the shine off him and his girlfriend and try and make me look like a selfish cow cause thats what they do. :( they are all annoying me

[jaasssy82]

dont worry lozie im worrid about telling my dad........ he wont be happy.. he wasnt with the first,...... oh well.. hang in there hun.. its your choice your body and your baby!!!

[Moops]

Well the in laws came to stay last week and we had to tell them as i barely left the bedroom or the bathroom for the entire time!

DP's mum was happy although started dishing out advice asap and the conversation turned straight away to "So when is the wedding?". DP and I do want to get married and if im being completely honest i would have preferred being married before conceiving the bub but thats the way it is.

The absolutely last thing i feel like thinking about at the moment is planning a wedding! And i dont want to be a fat bride!! :laughing:

Anyone else thinking about tying the knot?

[Lozie]

we got married last year and it was a really quick one at the registry office:o how romantic:laughing:
Just us and the kids with a few family members was nice but not what i wanted, if i were you i'd wait til after the baby is born to get married that way you can do all the planning while he/she is still swimmin, and you can do all u want to make it a good one, but dont rush it, i really regret rushing our wedding.

[MrsX]

We got married when I was 3 months pg. Luckily I hadnt started to show at that stage :laughing: Was planned for the feb, but as soon as we got that BFP we pushed the date forward :yes:

[jaasssy82]

I just found the courage to tell my mum over the phone.. as she is interstate and i thought she may be shocked.. she was last time.. but she is soooo excited and congratulated "us" ohhh its my first offical' congrates" as we havent told anyone else.... wow its really all happening,,,,

Also she said that with her 2nd and 3rd she was still sick ( WE BOTH :barf: ALL THE WAY TO LABOUR WITH OUR FIRST BABIES) BUT once she got to 13 weeks it calmed heaps.... i never knew that i assumed it was just as bad everytime..... im very very relieved.. and now excited even though i still feel yuk and that im going visit the tiolet soon:ecomcity:

[Moops]

Well they say no two pg are the same so just because u were sick all the way with your first doesnt mean that you will be this time - dont jinx yourself! :fingerscrossed:

[Kyahli]

i got married at 26 weeks last time!!! had to go and get dress the next size up!!! i was also only 17!!! married at 17 then had kaelum one week after my 18th and divorced before i was 20!!! try that for a rolacoster!!!

not planning on getting married again... would consider a committment ceremony though....

[Moops]

Has anyone not told family yet?
Im 10 weeks on Friday (yay!) and am really wanting to wait till my 12 week scan but its getting really hard to hide it!! Im still feeling really sick so i have been avoiding people, im sure they are all suspicious!
