Thanks for the encouragement everyone. I am going to tell my mum and dad together with hubby on Saturday.

I think I'll approach it with some visible nerves. My thinking being that if I'm obviously nervous about their reaction they'll be more inclined to react generously!

Incidentally, after I showed hubby the test this morning he pulled me back onto the bed and didn't want to stop cuddling me for ages! I was all restless and excited though and had to get ready for work. But he's been super sweet to me all day. I'm enjoying this :-)

Hey, at the end of the day it could have taken you months or even years to concieve, you were lucky that it happened so quickly for you. if she gets funny just say you didn't expect to be this lucky. You still have 8 months to get settled. just make sure your hubby does all the heavy lifting now hehe

I didn't tell them :-o

I couldn't do it. It was a bit of a hectic situation in which I saw them and it didn't feel right.

Hubby and I decided to hold off telling them until he has a job in Yorkshire lined up. That way there is less uncertainty about the future and it should lessen the concerns about the situation for everyone.

I'm going to stay with them next week though, don't know what I'll do if the morning sickness kicks in while I'm there!

It only just occurred to me today that we'll have to tell hubby's mum at some point too. I wasn't worried about that, I hadn't really thought about it before, but now I have I'm more worried about that than telling my parents!

Let's just say that me and the MIL have never had the best relationship (something along the lines of me stealing her son away from her etc.) She'll be livid that a) we started trying before moving and b) that we didn't consult her about it at all. I think she thinks she has a right to make his decisions for him, even though he's almost 29

I'm sure she will be delighted for you hun, sometimes we worry too much over things and they always seem worse in our minds hey???

Good luck with telling them, i'm sure in your heart you'll know when the time is right x x
