It's driving mad insane I'm not so much talking about family as they will think that we've gone mad having another baby but more friends. I am a host for another forum and come here to discuss pregnany issues as I didn't want to tell them until I have my scan next month. But that seems like ages away and I'm going to burst soon. I've just even typed out my announcement and immediately deleted it as I just know if I say anything I'll jinx it.

Everyone else on there is announcing pregnancies but I just can't bring myself to press the 'Submit New Thread' button just incase. I've got to wait 4weeks 5 days till my next scan (not that I'm counting ).

Ow and I thought that once you see a heartbeat on u/s your chances of miscarriage go down but I googled it (I know I shouldn't have) and it says they are still the same.

Sorry I have a feeling I'm going to drive you all mad till my next scan

aww I know what you mean.

But then again, I told some of my close friends really early - as did I tell my family. I couldnt hide it from my friends as they'd be sure to notice I wasnt drinking over Christmas adn I really wanted to tell my family. I was too excited!

Its not rbought me any bad luck so far. I didnt tell my work friends and boss till this week though.

I couldn't go that long without telling! We told his family the first night after our BFP, and told my family the next day. I hadn't even been to the doc to confirm it yet, we had only just got the BFP! LOL.
Good luck keeping it secret!

awwww. ive told everyone and i think you just have to go with the flow. as you know... snowball and i are both due on the same day. so just got for it! my dad was so pleased to be a grandad its his first grandchild. i told everyone at the dinner table on boxing day and i felt like a weight had been lifted off my shoulders x x x

i didnt tell anyone til 3 months and ive just started telling some other ppl now, i am one of those keep it quiet ppl will notice kind of ppl, but i still sympathize

when u feel the need just come tell us on the forum lol

I told friends and family when i was about 8 weeks, i only told work last week though when i hit 13 weeks because i thought they would be really peeved off.

Its nice when your family do know tho, i have been getting really spoilt!

I couldn't keep my mouth shut, most people knew with in the first week of me finding out.

It´s so hard keeping it all to yourself when really you want to shout it from the rooftops.

I told family when I was about 7-8 weeks and other close friends a couple of weeks later. I´d already had to tell work, because I can´t fly anymore, but not many colleagues at work have realised yet that I´m not flying anymore (the one advantage of not seeing the same people every day). I´m waiting til my scan on Friday before I offcially announce it to everyman and his dog!!!!

We told our family at 8.5 weeks and then have started spreading the word from there. I didn't tell work till this week (i'm 10w6d). It just depends on when you feel ready.

It was hard for us to decide who we should tell off the bat and who had to wait till after our parents knew, we were seeing them in december at 10 weeks. We ended up telling a couple of friends, and another couple (good friends who are TTC, just started, and a friend who I was asking questions to. Other than that I wanted my daddy to be one of the first to know (first grandchild!) It was so hard not to tell over the phone but I figured that we were travelling 1500 kms one way at christmas it was as good a time as any. But I had already weaseled my way into getting a dating scan so, I'd seen the heartbeat and everything and it was also finally "real" to me.
