When did you tell your own parents & your in-laws about your pregnancy?
I know not everybody's close to their own parents/ in-laws, and obviously that would affect when you tell them the news, so can you please add a bit of description of how close you are to them?
I will be having my dating scan this weekend, when I'll be 9w. We haven't told anybody in our families yet. I suppose I would've told my mum if she were alive, but well, she isn't, and I'm not close to my dad so I suppose I'll tell him when I tell everybody else (i.e. he won't get getting special previleges). That means I don't have any direct family support from my own side.
Husband kind of wants to wait to announce to his family (i.e. his mum & dad & sister & brother-in-law), but I am more inclined to doing so after the scan if we see the heartbeat and everything seems to be going ok so far. My in-laws treat me very well, and especially since I don't have a mum to lean on, my mother-in-law kind of treats me like her daughter, so I think she'll want to be involved. And also, I read somewhere that if you're going to tell somebody should you have a MC, you should be able to tell them earlier, and I think should anything happen, I wouldn't want to hide it from my in-laws. Just want to hear what you ladies think, and what you did. Thanks!
