Parents I was gonna tell them today but I did a pg test and its a faint positive again so worried now its a chemical preg
What do you think?
Hello! Think my EDD is 13th April, so about 4+2. Only had one period since having implant removed and tested exactly 4 weeks after AF so guessing my cycle length was 28 days? Not sure though. Anywho, congrats everyone! It's nice to be able to talk about stuff on here cos I'm sooooo itching to tell everyone now! We told our little girl this morning and she was a bit funny about it until I explained there was a tiny baby in my tummy. Now she keeps calling the baby "her" and "Rosie", which is so cute! And she gave my tummy a kiss goodnight lol. Love them at this age (she's 3) x
Welcome! Congratulations!
Awww you dd sounds sweet
Ah Wilma, I love the T-shirt idea!! I may get one printed up when we visit the il-laws in a couple of weeks and just have our dd walk in wearing it. It'll be lovely because my SIL is visiting from Mexico where she lives with her dh and their 2 lo's, so the whole family will be there when we break the good news.
Aw lau, you're lo sounds adorable. We haven't mentioned the baby to my 2 lo's yet. Not sure when tbh...?
Hey Baby Boom, how did the picture go? What a lovely idea!! xx
I decided to wait while tues after doc appt
I'm scared coz last time we had no option really but to tell parents etc.
When's your family down chilli?
I got my little boy a shirt saying Big Brother with his name on the back last time. I was going to put it on him after our 12 week scan. However I found out just before 10 weeks there wasn't a baby - so it never got used.
I hope I can use it this time round. It should still fit!
I have told my friend - who has been helping me as I have been feeling really down. Other than my BID (2010) friends online - noone else knows.
I have always kept in to myself (and hubby) - and then just told those who I needed support from when it went wrong.
There is no right or wrong answer - just what you are comfortable with. I only told my friend this time as I need some additional support - and I am not close to my mum! xx
Well I took the plunge and told my parents and hubby parents and sister.....all are sooooo happy, my parents were only just chatting together this morning about me and hubby having another baby! Lol
Really happy but still nervous
I've already decided how were going to tell them though and looking forward to seeing their faces! (I know there'll be tears!) so excited and it's so hard not telling them. Started avoiding people already though, so they don't spot my very bloated tummy. We've got friends round for dinner next week and I've bought some non alcoholic wine for me so they don't get suspicious.
It's lovely to be able to talk about it on here though.
Regarding telling LOs - me and hubby have agreed we won't tell our 2 year old until we're past the safe 12 week stage. She's a real talker and goes to nursery so worried people would find out before and don't want to tempt anything to go wrong. Plus if it did go wrong she wouldn't understand so I don't think it's fair to tell her til we know it's going to be OK.
Parents - we will prob tell before and ask them not to mention in front of her. I don't know when yet though. Prob at least a couple more weeks. Last time we told everyone straight away and I think it's quite nice that it's just between me and hubby at the moment (well and you girls of course!)
