How will you tell family and friends...?
HI
How do you think you will go about telling people when you get a bfp?
We will want to keep it a secret until the 12 week scan, but I know people will guess the second they see me ! I am terrible at keeping things to myself. I'll just have to stay away from everyone for 3 months lol.
What if someone asks you and you are planning to keep it a secret, do we just lie to their faces ?

My mum loves knitting, so I think with her I'm going to choose a knitting pattern I love with some wool and give it to her and say you need to start getting busy - she is dying for a grandchild, so I can't wait to tell her.
Not sure how we'll tell hubbys parents, not sure he's really thought about it either. He wants to wait till 12 weeks to tell people too (NO WAY I can wait that long)
My 2 best friends I'll probably tell straight away, but then other people we'll wait till we've had the 12 week scan.
I would want to keep it very secret until its safe, but i can imagine just telling people and them saying :
oh yeah we'd been on the phone just saying we thought you were!!
I am struggling not to tell friends though, but currently worried that bean won't stick so I am being firm and not telling them until after the scan - espeically as one of them said I shouldn't be pregnant on my wedding day - ooops!!

On the other hand - i got married in Aug, and my aunt has already started to knit us a blanket 'for when the time comes'!!!! i could use the other idea posted on here and buy her another pattern
When i told MIL i was pg with my son she just said.... ok! and treated me as if i had done something really wrong coz she wants her daughter to have a child 1st
and my bestfriend who is also SIL will be so unhappy and SO happy all the the same time... they have been ttc for 3 years and telling her it will make her sad but she will be happy coz she will be a aunt again
I wont tell anyone till i have to ( wonder if i could just show them all the baby and they will have to be happy coz its here and all small and cute ) .... Defo after 12wk scan after 2 mc i wouldnt want to chance it.

Had such ideas of doing on Xmas day as I was late so is all seems a bit better to wait now, dont know why.
Will just have to see...know the girls at work would be sooo excited. x x
My biggest concern is work tbh. Although I work in retail and have up to week 15 to tell them, because I do so much lifting and carrying of stock, I should tell them asap. and they put you on 'light duties' - which is obvious then to everyone, that ur up the dufF! But if it doesnt stick ill be mortified and will have people fussing over me at work which I hate. (I know that sounds weird)
So I think I would just tell my 2 best friends that work at the same place and all 3 of us will try to keep it a secret from the bosses for as long as poss.
