Who was the first person you told

[MsSquiz]

that you had a BFP on a pregnancy test?

Just a general musing/nosey thread.

DH and I have just started TTC and there has always been a running joke that he would be the second person to know I had gotten a positive result, as I would probably tell SIL (DH's brother's wife) first (to confirm what I was seeing and because we are so close)

So who did you tell first?

My sister in laws with the first 3 (they were with me when I did the pregnancy tests) and my husband with the last 2 (again he was with me when I did the tests)

My best friend.

My dh told me. I was fed up with seeing negatives for 2 years of ttc. After that it was our parents. When I was pregnant with our 3rd we told the children first.

DH was the first person I told, I did a test with my friend in the loo at work.

I rang him to tell him (we’d been trying for a while, but were quite chilled about it, if it happened it happened) and he said “Fucking hell, mate” and then put the phone down on me!

The person serving on the counter at WH Smith not sure how that came about.

Then DH.

Dh told me because I was too nervous to look.
So I think my gp was the first person I told.

My best friend both times, she’s always told me before her dp aswell.

DH.

Parents and sister.

Two BFs.

My friend/neighbour as she'd given me the test to put my mind at rest (I really didn't think I was pg) and I wanted her to confirm the result.

Officially it was XP though

I hadn't even considered the person who POAS being the second person to know...

@GroggyLegs I guess sometimes things just fall out of your mouth?

My partner, then my boss the next day (explaining why I didn't want to push beds or "nip through X-ray")

I told my 18 month old while he was in the bath. He probably said "ah... spash! wet. duck!". This was a couple of days before I said to DH what I was suspecting as it was a good few days off when my AF was due. I just KNEW though!

Mumsnet I think, as I posted a thread asking if it was a BFP as I couldn't quite believe it!

Then DH very shortly after that.

I got my first BFP on Friday after 7 months TTC and told my best friend as I was certain my eyes were playing tricks, 6 tests later they weren’t and then FaceTimed DH

My mum as she was there when I got the phone call! (Didn't actually do a test).

My mum found out the exact same second as me. I was having an ultrasound on my womb for other reasons and there was 10.5 week DD waving at us! Best surprise ever.

Our guinea pig. (He was our baby at the time.)

My DH.

First time DH told me because I was fed up of seeing negative tests.

Second time I told him, then my sister and then when discussing it with him the next day on what’s app I accidentally clicked on the wrong conversation so accidentally gave the news away to my best friend as she guessed by what I’d written. I had planned to hold back telling friends as one of my other close friends was TTC but luckily she got pregnant the same week!

Dh for ds1.
A close friend for ds2 - I was a bit in shock and she caught me off guard by asking whether we were thinking of having another so I just blurted it out!

Congratulations @Wifelife ❤️ how did your DH react over FaceTime?

@Minesril to be fair, I'd probably tell our cats first, especially as they always seem to want to join me in the bathroom!

@MsSquiz

Thank you! He cried, bless probably should have waited until he was home from work but I couldn’t keep it in!

The kids dad

My DH both times.
