We told our parents & a couple close friends right off. We'll probably tell the rest of our friends after the next appt. (8 weeks). I've always felt that if something were to happen I'd need the support of those around me. Plus, we've been trying for so long that people will get suspicious if I stop being bitter - lol!

Im planning on telling my parents on sunday , when ill be 9 weeks, ill then tell everyone else between 11-12 weeks. Its been so hard keeping it a secret. Especially as i have had to tell so many lies to cover for things such as not drinking etc.

Like Lee-Anne says, I'm not too concerned about people knowing because if the worst happened ( please God) people would know anyway as I wouldnt be able to hide my upset.

It's a totally personal choice. I can't keep my mouth shut, so I told everyone really early.

We're having the same problem. I told my manager the day I find out, because I work with anaesthetic gases and X-ray - didn't want to take the chance. We're gonna tell parents and siblings on Sunday - mothers day. The plan is we don't tellanyone else till after the 12 week scan. Fingers crossed - it's miles away!!!

I told those closest to me right away, my OH (duh), mommy, best friend and my sister. Because I had awful fatigue and morning sickness, I also opted to tell my boss so she wouldn't worry what was going on with me. My OH told some of his best friends, but that is it really. We plan on telling more people after my 8 week scan assuming everything is ok. The wait is killing me!! Especially since it might be twins!!

it really does feel like miles away doesn't it!

am telling both sets of parents on Sunday 9th, as we are having a late mothers day (to cater for everyone being there), will tell brother at the end of month when we go to visit.

Others can wait until the 12 week scan, and having looked at other peoples piccies, i am so excited! Almost wishing the weeks away!
