Question

How soon did you tell people?


How soon did you tell people you were pregnant? With both of my previous pregnancies people knew almost from day 1 but for some reason this time round i want to keep it quiet until i'm at least 12 weeks & possibly until i've had my first scan. My OH wants to shout it from the roof tops but i've put him under strict instructions to keep it zipped until told otherwise for fear of sleeping on the sofa for the next 8 months! LOL When did you decide to tell people?

I told every1 the day i found out both times. Im not superstitous so i didnt care. I think next tiime tho i will save it to my 12 week scan just due to the fact that i hated every1 asking me how it was going etc(in uni as there are so many word hadnt spread far). If it happens again i will tell my nearest and dearest but wont have as much grieve having to explain to every1

Just do what is right for you

Im a big mouth tho so i might not even keep to what i said above

I told everyone the same day, or the next day after I found out. I was too giddy and just couldn't hold it in!

Hi


I had always planned to wait till 12 weeks to tell everyone i was pregnant but due to being on a diet that everyone knew about soon as i started eating food again i knew people would question me so rather than lie to people i told them the truth and like Polo said i would sooner them be there to support me if anything does happen

I told my family straight away and OH told his. I tried to hold it in but just couldn't. Now that I've had a scan and all looked good we've told close friends and some people at work (we work in the same school) and I'm guessing the word will be out to everyone before long!

I'm worried about telling my OH's Mum, she's such a sweetie but she gossips for England & even if we tell her to keep it to herself I know she'll just be bursting with excitement and it will go around the family before you can blink! Bless her! LOL
