When are you telling?

[april24343]

Well my entire family knows except for a few a people...None of his family knows yet because he doesnt want to tell them yet....I am tryin to talk him into telling them on Christmas morn while we are all together doing gifts and stuff! But I dont know if he will yet or not! Any ideas on how to tell his family? Some of them will be less than thrilled

I told everyone as soon as I found out apart from my nan and grandad. They still don't know. Don't know how they're gonna take it to be honest!

First of all, who cares what other people think. It is your life and your family Secondly, I couldn't stand it and told almost everybody the day my test said postive!! However, we are waiting to tell my hubby's parents until Christmas. We are going to make them shirts saying "Grandpa August 2008" and "Grandma August 2008" --> Just an idea....

CONGRATULATIONS!!

If your family doesn't like it, too bad....it's happening and it is what you both wanted. They will come around! Congrats! I think an X-mas surprise would be cute.

Our imeditate family knows and so does my work but we're telling everyone after the holidays

Due to the fact I have always told my parents and parent in laws everything they knew the day before that the doctor had suggested I take a test so it only seemed right to tell them when we found out - that included a phone call to my Mom in Spain lol.

Otherwise my plan was to give them a card on Christmas and let them open it to see it say I'm Pregnant or something along those lines.

I woke my mom up at 5 in the morning her time to tell her and DH woke up his mother at 6 (our time). Everyone in our family knows plus several of our close friends.

We haven't told anyone yet (I'm 6w1d today). We're planning on telling everyone on Christmas. All the grandparents-to-be (this is the first kid on both sides) are going to get "grandparents are special" picture frames with a pic from the first scan in them...or, if there's not enough to really see, an announcement saying "Baby Payne, due July 26, 2008" and a link to the blog we have set up for friends and family who don't live near by to be able to follow the progress My parents and DH's have been very patient and never pressured us to have kids, but it's quite obvious they are ready to be grandparents!!!

Actually, we have told one person...I'm going to be a bridesmaid in a friend's wedding in late August, and she had to order the dresses this week...Since I'm ordering a maternity dress...I kinda had to tell her. But I SWORE her to secrecy!!!

[reallytinyamy]

We've got our first appointment on the 19th so hopefully we will both believe it after that!! We plan to tell people at christmas. I'm really looking forward to telling OH's family but not so much my own

 

[Pinkroses912]

Only a few close family members know on my side. My S/O has told EVERYONE including the mail man on his side.

I'm not telling my job until I'm WAAAAYYY up there....probably about 16 weeks. I plan not to say anything until I just can't hide it anymore. I'm a teacher in rural Georgia and they frown upon unwed mothers.
