My mum, sister, my best friend and a friend in New york
I really want to tell poeple but am scared
I'm busting to tell everyone but waiting until I get to 12wk scan then I will explode! Hehe
My husband haha of course, and my sister - she may well have told her husband. That is it for now, I feel really bad not telling my mum and dad, but last time when it ended in mc everyone in my family knew as they were all visiting and I wasnt drinking. Being Irish this is not a normal behaviour for family get togethers so I had to tell them. When I lost the baby I was glad they knew as they all supported me. I hope to have my 12 week scan and tell my immediate family by Christmas, everyone else after 20 weeks,x
I told a few last time as I had problems with bleeding and ended in mc so I was glad ppl knew although I didn't want there support, it was nice.
This time our parents know and my best friend and a work friend. Telling my boss next week maybe although after my recent mc I don't get on with her due to her poor handling of my mc, so might wait longer. We'll see.
I'm happy no-one knowing actually and don't feel the need to tell anyone this time.
Hi All, Hubby of course, both our sets of parents (couldn't tell one without the other), 2 very close work colleagues (one had to inject me with a hormone shot for fetility last month so would be difficult to avoid otherwise) and one close friend. Other than that I am planning on telling everyone around 14 weeks/Christmas time. I am a teacher and close to some of my classes, so will tell them after the Christmas holiday I hope, if they don't guess before hand
I want to shout it from the rooftops but am also very cautious as first pregnancy X x
Everyone! Well, we didn't our darling DD1 did, just too excited to keep it quiet. We cannot control what is going to happen so I am going to try not to worry about it, a bit difficult after 4 losses but just have to be positive
Babyboom I wont be given away with baby bump as my family and friends all live in Ireland and I am in England and noone is visiting me until Christmas by which time I will tell them anyway...well that is the plan but who knows what will happen between now and then. I talk to my mum every day on the phone and have almost forgotten myself a couple of times, I hate lying but it is for the best til we know all is well.x
We've not told anyone yet either, will wait for 12 wk appointment. I can't tell work as I have a regrade going through which will be scuppered if they find out. We nearly told SIL last week as we are swapping baby clothes with her for my DS who's 23months. She mentioned her friend is due in Feb & wants to borrow the 0-6 clothes. We didnt have the guts to say we may need them ourselves!
Babyboom I initially moved over for work, but then met my husband and we have just settled here, my sister married a guy from England so we moved to be close to them. I would love to go back to Ireland but just no work for me in my home town.
Mamankabba you will have to get those clothes back especially if you are having another boy, or just keep stalling giving them clothes til you are able to tell them.x
Just DH. Will probably be telling a colleague (We've been talking about TTC) My mum asks me when we are going to have another one pretty much every time she calls, lol so I'm not sure how long I'm going to keep it a secret!!!
so far only some of my old Baby Expert Due In moms, my boss and one collegue at work, and my sister now knows after an impromptu hosp trip to the A& E where she works!! ops!
We dont plan on telling the mums till the 23rd Nov, we are taking DD to HArrods to see Santa and we are going to get her to tell them in some way.We'll be 10+6 by then! Im thinking a Tshirt that says something along the lines of Big Sister to be?!
We'll then tell 3friends that weekend and the rest after the 12 week scan!
