Is this a bit soon?

We were told this afternoon that there’s a new grandchild on the way - in November! I’m not sure I’d be spreading the news as soon as this, lovely as it is.

It's up to the couple announcing it

Are they ‘spreading the news’ Or just telling their parents? I told my parents in the early days, I think that a quite common

Yes obviously. That wasn’t I was asking.

Thanks Sunshine, not sure who they’re telling. I just remember us hugging it to ourselves as a delicious secret for several weeks and not telling anyone. I can’t remember how soon they told us the first time.

Their choice.
I always say, if anything goes wrong the more people who know, the more people can support the parents.

No.

Things go wrong whether you've told people or not so it's really up to them.

I told my parents before I told my DH 🤣

Why shouldn't they tell people?

Is this your child? You don’t sound very supportive.

I told my parents the day after I found out, at 4 weeks. I did this because if anything went wrong, I would want their support. It's entirely personal preference.

Delicious secret?

I presume they are telling you but if the pregnancy did end in a miscarriage then they would want your support.

I’m not entirely sure how you deduce that @RedRed9, given that I said it’s lovely news, or exactly what I could do or say to be supportive at this stage.

Because you’re on a public forum calling them out for telling their own parents that they’re pregnant.

I think it’s fine
