We told our parent and close friends almost immediately with my first pregnancy but it ended in a mc, so this time I have told one close friend and we are telling family at Christmas once I am done the first trimester, I found it too painful to have to tell everyone that I lost it. It will be an exciting Christmas surprise :)

Is not telling your parents a bad thing?

my parents, sis and in laws knew I was pregnant before I told them. They all dreamt a baby and when I told them that I was pregnant they were like I knew it. After my docs visit to confirm that I was pregnant, I went home and told my sister, and then we went by my parents, and as soon as my mom saw me she was like "you're pregnant aren't you" and I didn't answer her, b/c I had my niece with a t-shirt "this little peanut is going to be a big cousin" ( my niece name is peanut as we call her" and my mom was ecstatic  ...
I haven't told anyone else, they'll know when ever they see me, or whenever I tel them..

I told everyone about a week after I found out (at around six weeks). I am terrible at keeping secrets... plus I was very fatigued at work and thought my boss should know.  I know it's risky to tell early but I couldn't help myself!

We are waiting until thanksgiving. My daughter is going to wear a shirt that says " Big Sister in Training. Graduation date June 2013." I think its special to include her in it. My only problem is her not telling the whole world lol. Every time some says baby she feels the need to inform them that mommy has a baby in her tummy.

We are planning to announce it at Christmas though hubby told his sister and I told my mum. Everyone else can wait, should be 15weeks by then. It's baby #1 for us.

We have told some people, but are waiting to announce to most in December, I have an idea for Christmas cards that will do the announcing for us, most people won't be too thrilled we are expecting baby #5! So this is the way to get it done with out having to hear about it, at least not right away!! LOL

We're waiting till after the ultrasound on Friday to tell everyone. Reactions will be mixed so we wanted to wait till we we're further along to tell parents and in-laws. How ever not sure when to tell our 3 other children ages 12, 8, and 4.

I just told my close family & my husband's family after the confirmation from the doctor. I probably wont announce it to the world until 3 months.

I told the whole world as soon as I got a positive test.

I told parents and siblings immediately after the dr confirmed it, had first scan at 5w4d, not ready to tell my friends yet, may wait till a few more weeks depending if I show any noticable symptoms and need to explain why
