how r u going to tell..

[Butterfly24]

hmmm.. well a ouple of people know we are trying

i think we'd tell my mum and dad and his mum and stepdad and probably his siblings

i have thought about a cute way to tell them, i've always thought that if it's near fathers or mothers day we'd like to send a card saying happy 'grandfathersday' for something lol - no really that original

we'd have to tell work but would ask them to keep it quiet

i don't think we'd want to tell anyone else apart from 2 of my friends until we have our 12 week scan

i think we'd like to tell people in person but my german family we'd probably send them over a scan photo

not 100% sure though really it all seems so far away lol

I'd love to be pregnant for christmas and give my family a christmas card each and have a photo of the scan in it.... they'd be bubbling like mad after that. So would I probably!

my family know were tryin but i think theres only a couple of the nephews on his side that know (nd before your thinkin wtf, his nephews are older then me lol) but i still wouldnt tell anyone untill i really had too, so no one would know untill i was probs showing lol obvs the hubby would know but if i was defo sure that i was gunna get a i would try nd do a test without him knowing then try nd find a really cute way of tellin him

those r all cute ways of telling. i know its hard to figure out a way to tell family far away. well i already bought the little socks for when i get my bfp to put in my moms sock drawr along with the + test!

I will tell my Hubby right away not sure how yet, and will likely tell my best friend but otherwise we'd wait for a few months. I've had two losses, and my nephews who are young have been through both losses, it's not fair on them. HOWEVER on the other side, I want to celebrate as much as I can in case something does happen this time, so perhaps we'll let their parents decide if they want to tell them or wait and will let all the adults know. I'm torn. I know two friends at the moment that waited till 20 weeks to announce their pregnancies (both had miscarriages prior), and I think HOW DID THEY DO THAT??? With my second we didn't plan on telling early on, but my mom just knew when she saw me. I don't know... I'm torn... I think I'd rather wait till the heart scan at 20 weeks as our son died of heart issues at just four days old, but doubt I'd be able to hide it that long. I don't know... what about you?

I really can't decide!! Obviously I would tell hubby straight away, but for anyone else, I really don't know! I would probably only tell my mum, not sure about my sister, she's at uni, so if anything happened I wouldn't want her to worry. I might also tell one of my friends who is pregnant, just so I can bombard her with questions!!

I can't keep secrets tho, so I'll probably tell everyone straight away, but I really like the idea of putting the scan in a card to give to people!

im so sorry about you losses and i understand y you would be torn its a big decison. i dont know how ppl manage to wait to tell others, i think i willl want to yell it to the world! it would b hard either way in this situation..i wish you the best for when the time comes

My DH will know first as I will show him the test straight away, I would then call my mum and dad and tell them and they will tell my brother. I will tell my bosses at work as I won't be able to carry heavy boxes of paperwork anymore. The only other person who would be told early on is my friend who knows what I'm going through. My extended family won't be told until after my 12 week scan and thats when I will tell more people at work as well and DH will tell his work. There are some people at work I will never actually tell though so they would have to guess at later stages lol!! That will be funny! I've thought about this a lot and it won't be anything special as just saying the words "I'm pregnant" will be special enough and I can't wait until I get to say those words.

The first time I was pregnant I put the tester under my arm and asked my hubby to check it (as if it was a thermometer saying I think I have a fever) and handed it to him and as soon as I did that, I flipped up my shirt and there was a baby bib over my tummy... I think it said something about Daddy on it, but don't recall I still have it somewhere. The second time, it was the day after valentine day when I got a BFP so I put the tester in a jewelry box and gave it to my hubby as a late valentine gift.
The first time we told my parents they kept going on and on and on about stuff so I wasn't able to let them know, so they started to talk about making a bench for their grandkids to sit on and I interupted them and puleld out bibs and told them they'd have to make one more space on the bench. Was excellent. Second time was more casual and was more of a let out when my mom kept suspecting I was just by looking at me. (had to add the happy stories to not just the sad ones!) I haven't a clue next time... might just give my hubby a mug of coffee with the words DADDY on it or something and wait till he notices... might take a while....LOL

 

[sma1588]

omg those r all so cute ways of telling people, i love how you did that to ure hubby.
and how cute is that to tell your parents they need to make more room on the bench perfect timing for you.....i cant wait to hear what u do next time



i hope i get mine around a holiday so i ca tell OH then and family then. i will give OH one of those only open in the room presents with the test in it

 

[lynzee05]

I would tell my OH probally do all the tests with him there anyway because he gets so exsited about it lol!
I would tell my BF at work but I wouldn't tell any familyexcept my mum just because they are so in my face about wanting grandkids and if anything was to happen they would be gutted and it would make it worse for me and OH to deal with.
I think I would wait until my first scan to tell them to be honest.
