Announce I'm pregnant to friends at their house warming?

[Angelina7]

Hi,. I am pregnant with my 2nd child and I'm just wondering how to tell good friends. My friends are having a house warming as they just moved to a beautiful house and lots of our friends will be there but not just our friends, is it suitable to tell them then in person as I will be seeing them? I wouldn't want to take anything away from their house warming and their beautiful new house though....what would you do?. ...its either then or over the phone before then x

Congrats OP, if you usually enjoy a glass or two, people may guess! Go for it I say. I can’t see how it would detract from the house warming, tbh it would make it extra special for me if it was my house warming. Share your wonderful news.

I told my friend at her housewarming/boyfriends birthday, although I told her in private as I wasn't friends with anyone else there and it was the first time I'd seen her (the day after the scan). She was happy I'd told her

I can’t see it being an issue - just tell people naturally as you are catching up at the party. I think it’s nice and I would be delighted for a friend. Even if you text them before everyone will want to chat to you about it at the party anyway. Like you say you are not going to do a big announcement/speech so I wouldn’t worry about it.

I don't see what the issue is, particularly as this is your 2nd pregnancy you might find that people don't really care as much as for your first pregnancy!

You should definitely tell them, it's exciting news! And you're right, it's much nicer to give the news in person. Just tell them in private and then that gives them the option as to whether they're happy for you to 'announce' it to your other friends at the party or if they'd rather you waited for another opportunity. They'll most likely love for there to be new news for guests to talk about at their party. Congrats :)

Don't do it at the party because it's not about you. Tell them either before or afterwards. Congratulations! :-)

Congratulations

If you want to just quietly tell them face to face, the party may be fine, or they may be too busy. Will you be telling other people you know who will be there?

Prob best to phone and tell them before in case someone else starts spreading the news and they feel a bit left out.

Chesca I would love to live in your world! It’s much warmer and cheerier than the real world!

Text the house-couple and tell them now. Then ask if you can tell people at the party or if they'd prefer it before.

I think that it depends on when the party is? If it's within the next couple of weeks then I think that you should wait until after. Why do you say that it has to be either at the party or before the party?

And now it's in the Daily Mail OP

You made the papers OPhope it doesn’t out you!!

Can the daily mail not come up with their own stories? Do they just lurk around on MN all day?!
