We are 18+1 and we still have a couple of friends that we haven't told. We have been telling friends as we meet them, but this one particular couple we haven't told yet, even though we met her for dinner last month. She even stayed the night with us coz her husband was out of the country that weekend and she was afraid to stay alone.

But we have just been avoiding telling her in particular (we have no problem telling her husband, but haven't told just coz she would then know).

Another couple who are also pregnant and a month ahead of us told the couple the news. This lady just argues about everything. When we met for dinner last month, the pregnant friend said she was feeling flutters and the doctor confirmed they were kicks, but this lady argued that the flutters cannot be kicks, but rather the nerve pain. She argued so much that my pregnant friend started doubting whether she was really feeling kicks or if it was all just imagined in her head.

So, you can imagine why we have avoided telling this couple we are pregnant, even though we have met in person a few times already since we became pregnant.

In 2 weeks we're having our 20 week scan and also my birthday. I am finally starting to show a little (at that stage where my belly just looks fat). We are planning on inviting everyone for dinner and telling all our friends who still don't know the news yet at that time. I just have no idea how I'm going to stand this lady though. She just gets on my nerves these days. If she opens her mouth, its for an argument.
 
My OH has 2 best friends that live 400 miles away (old school friends), they meet up a couple of times a year. The one friend we chat alot to on skype etc and we told him at 12weeks pregnant. However the other I have never met or even spoken to him so I have left that upto my partner....who still hasn't told him...

I'm holding off putting anything on facebook etc so I don't spoil the announcement for my partner but it is annoying me now that he wont just call up and tell him. We have been engaged for 4years and he still hasnt told him that
 
Yeah, I have not posted anything on FB either. I don't think I will post there either. I'm just nervous and have a feeling I'll be stressed when we do tell this one couple. I'll just let DH deal with the lady, he never takes any crap from her. I, on the other hand, can't seem to say no to anything she does/says firmly.
 
there are loads of people we havent told! im not planning on making any big announcement or anything until the baby is born, we tell people as we meet them.

having your oh deal with this lady seems like the best plan!
 
Glad to know I'm not the only one who told just family and close friends. At my work only my manager, director and a few people I'm friends with know. Rest of the teams know nothing yet. DH has not revealed anything yet at his work either.
