Have you told?

[Speedy]

Have you told anyone yet that you're expecting? If not, when do you plan to tell?

[tinyjoys]

I told my mom and sister the day after I got my BFP and then a few more people before going full public about 5 weeks ago.

SPOILER: Click to show

We announced today on Facebook.


I captioned it:
Get a puppy? ✔️
Starting planning a trip to Disney for my 30th next year? ✔️
Have a baby instead? ✔️

The four of us are so excited to announce that baby Tie Breaker will be joining our family in April!

tinyjoys, Cuuuuuute!!!

[kookie3631]

I've only told 3 people. (2 co-workers and 1 close friend). DH told his HR because they were going thru open enrollment and wanted some advice on the medical plans they had offered. We won't announce publicly until Thanksgiving. I have my 11 week appt the Monday before that and my family will be in town for the holidays so it seems like the right time.

[tincupchalice]

We're public and have been for a while.

[Speedy]

So far I've told my 2 BFFs (who are basically sisters in law, so their family knows now too lol), and my work mom because she's been rooting for me for years now.

I'm planning on telling our families at Christmas with presents (necklaces for the moms, mugs for the dads, t-shirts for the brothers), and then announce publicly with stockings =)

With my history I definitely needed the people closest to me to know, but I don't want to be out for a little while yet.

[adeline]

My nuchal scan is on Tuesday. I’m planning on being out and proud straight afterwards. Only immediate family know now (12+2). I’m going to tell my boss when I see her over the weekend. It’ll be more private and it’ll explain me disappearing on Tuesday for a few hours. So excited to share the news with everyone. And wear comfy clothes!

[budders]

Everyone in my family and anyone who knows me well at this point knows. But I’m also 14 weeks and we had our NT scan and got our blood results, so it’s hard/no real reason to keep it quiet.

[charliefox]

I've told my RE, my midwife, and my dentist - does that count? haha.

First appointment is the 30th, I'll be 10+ weeks and we'll hopefully hear a heartbeat (or my midwife will send me for an u/s). We'll tell family, maybe friends, after that.

[flyliceandcoffee]

We've told our parents and my SIL but we've asked them not to say anything yet. H told his boss because of more doctor appts. I've told a close group of friends and my previous BMB groups but I trust them not to spill the beans either.

[onlymee]

I have told everyone. Announced on fb. we told DD early, she’s 6 and I knew she was either secretly telling people or she was bursting to tell and would slip up and tell the world. So we just went for it and told everyone.

[fancynewbeesly]

We told my parents, DH mom and my BIL's. (and SILs).

But honestly I want to wait for everyone else-I want to make sure the genetics component comes back and i am still nervous about miscarriage. So I told DH maybe around Thanksgiving announcing.

[Deleted]

Everyone that we are close to knows. I’m not super keen on a Facebook announcement, but I’m contemplating posting our annual family turkey trot picture on Thanksgiving and just letting it be known then.

[ajm]

We haven't told anyone yet. We'll probably tell parents this weekend and work shortly after. It's been hard to keep it a secret at work. We probably won't announce anything further til Thanksgiving.

[gustierx]

We told daycare last week and my parents yesterday. We'll probably tell the rest of the family and my work friends around thanksgiving. Last time we didn't announce on Facebook until after we knew the gender, not sure if we'll do that again this time.

[MauLoaM0M]

I've told my BFF at work & another close friend at work other than that only doctors I see know. We don't plan to tell anyone else until after 1st tri is over.

[jessila]

Our families know, most of our closest friends know, I told one of my principals yesterday since I have to leave an hour early for my NT scan next week, and a few teachers at each of my schools know.
I'm planning to tell one school the week after my NT scan and haven't really decided when to tell the other school. It's my first year there and I'm only there two days per week. I'll probably tell admin around Thanksgiving.
I kind of want to wait for FB until we know the sex. Christmas cards will most likely be some sort of announcement.

[theduchess]

I am a remote employee and will not be seeing any of my colleagues in person until March. There's a small part of me that just wants to show up with a baby bump and be like... heyyyyy guys. I had a loss at 12 weeks in an earlier pregnancy and because of that don't like to go wide with the information until I'm pretty far along. I think we put something on Facebook at like 19 weeks last time? Anyway, currently both sets of parents and one set of siblings know. (And my old BMB.) We'll tell the second set of siblings after we see a heartbeat, probably.

[daisy818]

IVF sort of ruins the surprise element, so there are a bunch of people who knew about every step of the IVF so they have known from my first positive beta: my parents and siblings, my stepson, several friends, my supervisor, and about 6 coworkers. For more extended family I'm going to wait till Thanksgiving, and people in general until we're out of first trimester.

[charliefox]

Lol, oh yeah and 70 of my closest friends on my S15 BMB knew before H knew. I forgot about that

[robot]

My closest friends know and all immediate family. We are waiting for the NIPT results before we share with extended family and other friends. That should be in a couple weeks since I have the blood draw Monday. Likely I’ll share on FB at Thanksgiving. I also told my sitter and my boss. They’re both friends and were seeing me at my worst so I figured why not.

[shortskirtlongjacket]

I’ve told my BFFs and a few people at work. My mom also knows. I’m only 6 weeks, but I’ve told people who either caught me coming out of the bathroom or running to the bathroom at work. Luckily it’s been people I trust not to say anything.

[Lord Disick]

Our immediate families and a few friends know, plus everyone here. I like drinking enough that it's pretty conspicuous when I'm not so there wasn't much hope of keeping it a secret for very long unless we wanted to weave quite a web of lies.

[Speedy]

Sooo, I'm trying to figure out when is going to be the right time and right way to announce to my boss that I'm expecting. I was only at this job a week when I got my + test. So far I've managed to play off whatever serious nausea I've had as food not sitting right, but I don't think I can keep it up for long, and given that I work a fairly physical job and will need more help I probably shouldn't.

[sammichcat]

Families know due to unforeseen scheduling circumstances for our first prenatal appointment. We would have preferred to wait until 10~11weeks like we usually do. But life happens

[alexipodes]

While I would have liked to wait until I cleared the first trimester to tell family like I did with our first, I think we will end up telling them sooner with Thanksgiving coming up. I’m already showing and I’m almost positive my mom knows but is just being polite in not saying something until I say something.

I did tell my boss this week though. I know he would never ask but I’ve been to the doctor so much lately and all my appointments have occurred during normal working hours, I felt compelled to tell him.

[numbears]

I've told most people that I see in real life (mostly co-workers). But I still need to make an actual announcement. I wanted to do some type of Halloween photo, but didn't have time. Maybe a big brother shirt for DS. Maybe I'll get around to it before 3rd tri.

[armpants]

Most immediate family, close friends, and supervisor and a few coworkers. I'm not certain about official announcement. I want to do something because I wasn't to talk about ways families are made. I might wait until closer to Christmas. I'm not really going to tell all my coworkers, I think the word will get around and I just won't deny it. Other than HR of course.

[leo91]

Poof

[lily]

We’ve told family and close friends. Not keeping it a secret but we haven’t done a fbook announcement yet - last time I was 20 weeks when we did that, but since I SAH and we’re less social than we were last pregnancy, I’ll probably do the fbook thing earlier.

We took our Christmas card photos last week and did some baby announcement ones too.
