What would you do??

I am 8 weeks today and as yet have told no one. We have an early private scan booked for Sunday when I hopefully would be 8+5, but my mum and dad and sister announced after we had booked the scan that they are going away from Saturday to Friday. As we dont speak to Hubbys parents I wanted the first people we told to be my parents. this means waiting another week to tell everyone as I want to do it face to face to see their reactions as they are really not expecting it and it will be their first grandchild.
Anyways, I phoned up and the only other appoint,ent they have is Friday at 9.45am. Perfect I thought we cann both get the day off go there have some lunch and a nice day then go totell parents in the evening. Only problem is that its Friday 13th!! So what would you do?? Change appointment? Or keep original and have to wait another week to tell everyone and risk slipping up on the phone as I nearly have done a few times??

  • Ohhhh I would have no worries about it being Friday 13th, in fact I think it is funny! when it gets older and is being naughty, you can say 'ummm I first saw you on Friday 13th and your still being a little horror', I think it is a cool day. My cousin was born on Friday 13th and she is one of the most beautiful people I know!

    If your that bothered just go by the chinese calender for one day hehe

    P.s it is much more important to tell family than worry about the date, lots of people see it as a lucky day x
  • Friday the 13th is just like any other day. The only difference is that some people are superstitious and they dont like to make plans on days like that.

    If something is going to wrong on a day, then it wont make a difference if its the 13th, 14th or 20th.

    I would book it on Friday anyway. Otherwise like you said, you may slip up and spoil the surprise!
