When did you spill the beans?

[FreckleBee]

Hi, I visited the GP this week and was delighted to have my pregnancy confirmed!!
Of course I feel a range of emotions right now but mainly excitement and joy. I'm desperate to tell my parents and siblings whom I'm v close with but I'm not sure if it's too early?
I will tell my close friend and we'll tell parents in law in a few weeks (the latter are out of country at the moment). We won't tell others until our 1st scan.
Could anyone advise me when they told those close to you?
Thank you :)

Congratulations! I told my mum the day I found out! She told my dad. I mentioned it about 6 weeks to my sister and best friend. I've told a couple of people since so maybe weeks 9-11. Scan on mon so will tell the rest of family if everything's ok and possibly wait another week or so to announce to anyone else

Mum, stepdad and in-laws; 5 weeks
Brother and dad; 11 weeks (Father's Day)
Work; 12weeks. Week before the scan but I was finishing for the summer and wanted them to know!
Everyone else; whenever DH met anyone. He just couldn't keep it quiet!

FB is finding out next weekend after my scan at 21 weeks, but the kids and parents at work have already rumbled me as I've got quite a noticeable bump.

Thanks Val ! How are you doing? I looked for the special ivf pregnancy thread but couldn't find it.

Hi everyone, I found out when I was around 5 weeks.. I'm only 7+5 now, told my mum roughly a few days later mainly due to the fact I felt so ill and couldn't hide it! I had to tell my manager due to early scan appointment at the hospital- and unfortunately she is my partners aunty- who I don't really get on with but that's another story . I haven't told my dad yet (mum and dad are separated) even though he would be happy for me- I think it's always scary telling your dad something like this! Everyone else will have to wait until around 12-14 weeks I think!

I told parents and pil straight away. as well as my friends as we are very close and I was a bit of a party girl so they would have guessed!! I also told work straight away as much of my job needed to change to keep me safe while pg!

We told my parents last night and it was brilliant

I was actually a bit scared of it, despite being a grown woman I had this weird feeling they might be cross with me. But they were thrilled and it's so good to have told someone at last.

elledouble that's lovely. I know what you mean, I was majorly anxious to say to mine too!

Told family and close friends straight away. In my view, if you share other close stuff with them, why not this (unless of course, you were worried about jinxing it or have mc'd before)? Also, I have really appreciated their support through what has been a pretty tough few weeks of pains and then sickness. It's been great to have that support. And also, if something does go wrong? People can rally round. Will tell wider circle after 12 weeks. Hope that helps!
