aw how lovely congratulations! how about getting a pic of you and your sis holding your scan pics/ or a sign saying your going to be grandparents....frame and wrap it up? will be an amazing surprise to them however you tell them though! 😊

I bought a fake scratch card off of Amazon to tell my partner - so it said max prize was £100k and you have to find 3 of the same amounts to win - he found one 'we're having a baby' and nearly fell off his chair! I recorded his reaction too was lovely!

Told our close friends and family with a card that said we were having a baby.

Wish I could go back and tell everyone our happy news again, such a happy exciting time lol congratulations to you and your sister :) x

@lovebeingmum9 thankyou! we are both still really early she's 6 weeks and I'm 8 weeks but we both are struggling to hide it from her so we were hoping to tell her on her bday in 2 weeks time, do u think thats too soon? We wouldn't wana tell any1 else till after the scan but we r both so excited especially now we get to do this together ❤️

Maybe get matching T shirts that give it away. Call round to see dm and casually take off your coats..

Mopmum35 · 21/10/2019 15:40

Yea the tshirt seems a good idea!

Get ones with ' mind the bump' or similar, go to see dm together, one of you go first with taking jacket, cardie or whatever off, dont let on, wait for dm to notice then after all the congratulations and stuff you/ sister takes there jacket off....Grin

Forgot to say congratulations 🤰

Easy... get iron on transfer paper from PCWorld and get both scans printed and ironed onto white tee shirts. Then wear them at the same time and do a big reveal.

Could you do a little hamper from both of you with 2 little baby grows or little clues then unwrap the scan pics at the end?

lovebeingmum9 · 22/10/2019 10:57

@Babylove33 it's never too early to tell your mum,do what feels right for you both! I like the t-shirt idea too....you could both get them made with 'she's pregnant' ----> (with pointing arrow) and stand next to each other....let us know how you decided to break the news and your mum's reaction! 😊
