I'm Currently Feeling:  | His parents were the very first people we told!!! I called his dad on the phone as soon as \i got my positive because \i knew that he would be the most excited since it was his first grandchild!!! Also they knew we were trying... I am sure i could have picked a creative way, but i was way too excited!! |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | We waited until we had the 1st scan, so about 12 weeks along - but that was because of a previous m/c and we didn't want to get everyone's hopes up again!
No time is the right time........ so any time you pick will be great (as long as you're ready to do it!)

I'm Currently Feeling:  | We told her mum ages ago cos we knew her reaction. She hates anything that lives and asked us when we were going to have an abortion. Silly bitch. She's telling her dad tonight I think. I think he will be ok. |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | I was only 4 weeks along when we told oh parents! it was not a planned pregnancy and we thought they would be VERY upset (not sure why bc they were ecstatic!) Anyways his parents came down for a week surprise visit and just knew something was on our minds so they finally got it out of us! Thankfully they are excited because my parents on the otherhand arent as excited lol |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | Well we wanted to keep it quiet and my parents knew (mainly because mum was on the phone when I got my BFP - no hiding it there!
But DH's parents live back in the USA, so we decided to wait until we were in the 2nd trimester and things were safer but while I was on night shift DH had one too many "Celebration" drinks and phoned them and told them...lol.
Men are just no good at suprises. |
