When I say to early to tell I basically mean every body else lol. I told my mum and sister 3 weeks as soon as I found out. Then I told work at 5 weeks as my sickness was so bad. (Only management and two close work mates ). Then gradually blurted it out to close friends, and as for my hubby who was telling me to keep my big gob shut he went and told every one at his work. I'm off work this week (put hols in so sick) I was thinking of when I get bk telling every body else as i will be 10 weeks my scan isn't untill 13 weeks I don't think I can wait lol. Do you think it's silly telling the rest t 10 weeks, when dis you all tell.

I hate to be the voice of doom, but I'd recommend thinking about how you'd feel if you had to tell all these people if there was a problem. If you are the sort of person you don't mind sharing that with and would find it supportive, go ahead and share. But, particularly if you haven't had an early scan and seen a heartbeat, I'd be wary of telling people you'd hate to have to share bad news with.

I don't mean to be gloomy. I know how exciting it can be. I just saw a close friend go through a lot of pain because so many people knew.

White on white no I totally know where your coming from the people who I've told are the people I know who could support me if something went wrong. What you have just said is what's in the back of my mind. My impulses over take every thing. Realistically 3 more weeks isn't long and my scan is on a Tuesday at the beginning of the week lol. I'm going to have to learn some self control lol

I've told a few people but no one I wouldnt be ok with 'untelling' I gave that analogy to my MIL too when she said 'nana is very down, she needs some good news'. I suppose quite cruelly said 'imagine how down she would be if we had to untell her in a couple of weeks'

Im finding its a really personal thing, im happy for my very close friends and family to know but im really not wanting to tell my work colleagues or not so close friends at all, it like I want to keep it to myself for as long as possible!
