Just wondering who you ladies have told so far and also how you told them (what you said/how you approached the subject etc...obviously "i'm pregnant" LOL!) and also how did they react at the news?

we told my parents, oh's parents & a few close friends before 6 weeks. told the rest of my family at 7 1/2 weeks (after we'd had a private scan) & told everyone else after our dating scan at 12 weeks.

We have told our parents, all of whom were over the moon We told them the day after we found out so at 4 weeks.

After we had our early scan at 6 weeks we told my brother and his girlfriend and Boyos sister and her husband, again, all of whom were delighted.

I then told my bosses and Boyo told his Seargent.

We asked for no one else to know until 12 weeks but we know Boyos Mum and Sister have told at least half the family and BILs family which, although a little annoying, isn't the end of the world.

We will be making it public on Monday xxx

Aw congrats ladies!
We've only told my mum so far. I told one of the girls at work who's pregnant also just incase something went wrong at work so at least someone knows. We'll tell the rest of our families this week and then everyone else at 12weeks.
I may have to tell my boss if the sickness gets bad as I work in 1 of the offices with just him and me as his PA so he may suspect if i'm running to the loo! If not then I'll tell him at 12weeks too.

I already mentioned to hubby that I think i was pregnant as having same symptoms as 1st pregnancy - light bleeding before period due date & light headed.

He was holding our son at the time and i just said "this time next year we will have two children" :-)

Also told my mum and MIL who are told to keep it secret! and also told my postnatal girlfriends.

Gonna wait til 12 week scan before we tell everyone!

We told our parents and siblings at 5 weeks. No one else knows yet. We're having a private scan at nine weeks so will tell close friends after that and my boss if I'm running to the loo or not focussing on my work properly.

We're seeing DH's extended family at 11 weeks for a family party so we may end up telling them then as well (will play it by ear).

The rest of our friends and neighbours will find out after our 12/13 weeks scan.

I also wondered when to tell people... not wanting to "jinx" the pregnancy and have something go wrong (I know, a little strange).

Someone along the way gave me some good advice: for the first few weeks/months tell the people you would want to turn to for support if something were to go wrong - for everyone else, wait the 12 weeks. Although, I am only 5 weeks along... I don't know if I can wait another 7!!! We'll see....

Good question!

Obviously, my husband knows. I was a nervous wreck telling him though, as we hadn't planned to start trying for at least another year and a half. He was elated & said that "he knew." My parents are also in the know. I couldn't get a hold of my husband on the telephone the evening I took the first test. I was freaking out, called my mother, & sort of just blurted it out while crying after I asked her to go to another room. She shared with my father afterwards because he answered the phone to my crying. My dad is SO excited, & my mom is an amazing support system. Other than that, just one friend knows because she had just confided in me that she had just found out that although she suspected she was pregnant, she found out she was not. It was natural for the conversation.

We plan to tell DH's parents after our 10w scan/appt next week. I am anxious to share the news with them! We've got a fun way to share with his mom too. We haven't had Christmas yet, so I rewrote "The Night Before Christmas" for her, but announced our pregnancy. I'll have to post eventually.

weve told my DHs mother, and my parents. we tried to be very cutesy about it and send floral arrangements to each set of parents saying "congratulations grandma and grandpa...again!" needless to say, we got a some excited phone calls after that! we told them the day we found out, because i just couldnt wait. i told my grandparents the day i took the blood test, which meant it was out to the rest of the family fairly quickly.

i told my closest friends the first week i found out as well, with individual phone calls starting out something like "woman! (or mister!) i have BIG news!" lol

basically the only people i havent told is work. i figure, if anything goes wrong (which im not planning on happening! lol), i will have a huge support network with friends and family...the only people i wouldnt want to explain that too would be work. so for them, i am waiting until 12/13 weeks.

this is my first pregnancy though, so i am very excited and couldnt help telling everyone. my DH probably could have waited, this is his second time through this and so hes much calmer than i, but there was no way i was going to be able to.

I have told my parents, sister and nan (DH doesn't know I have told them). My mum and sister knew we were TTC and when they came over on friday I asked my sister to have a look at my test and tell me if she saw a line (it was a blatant line) as soon as she saw it she squealed I told my mum the same way. My nan and dad I just told them. Telling DH amused me He was giving Edward a cuddle before he left for work and was talking to him about when he's bigger I turned round to him and said "what do you think this one will be like?" and rubbed my belly he just looked confused so I showed him the test, bless him
