when will you tell?

Haha! We couldn't have that!!!

We are about to go on this huge camping trip with a big group of friends (most which have kids so know what to look for) who I used to drink quite a bit when I was around them before. Not drinking for 4 days is going to raise some serious curiousity and I just know that someone is going to guess that I'm pregnant. I have already told some coworkers, family and best friends just because I know that I need the support. I also hate lying if someone asks what's going on or if I'm pregnant.

So I'm all of 8 weeks... A few people know and probably about 8 more are going to know by the end of this coming weekend. I don't really mind - I haven't been pregnant before and all of the ladies I'm going to see have had complications before - mcs and the like. So I know that they are people who I would go to anyways.

That and I wear my heart on my sleeve. If something happened to this baby, I wouldn't grieve in silence.

As far as social media goes, we will probably tell after 12 weeks.

We aren't telling family or facebook until 30 weeks when we fly down to visit over the holidays. I've already told some friends in person though.

We've told our parents but no one else yet. I'm hoping to hold of to 12 weeks. But in so excited I already want to shout it to the world and I've only known myself for 6 days!

We've not told anybody! I'll be getting a scan in a couple of weeks so really want to hold off telling family until then, I had a mc in December so I want to make sure everything is going okay before we tell them. Everyone else can find out at 12 weeks.

After the 12 week scan I've told immediate family, a couple of close friends and people who have to work with me closely already, as I've got an outdoor job working in rivers so need to avoid going to farms or anywhere too sewage-y. The retching and falling asleep in the van was also a dead giveaway!!

A few close friends know plus our parents. I'm trying to decide between announcing it at 8 weeks or 12 weeks. (By 8 weeks if baby is healthy on an ultrasound, statistically you have a 95% or so chance of the pregnancy progressing). I'm high risk so I'm getting an ultrasound at 6 weeks to check for normal development, and I'm not sure how many more I'll get between 6 weeks and 12 weeks, I'm guessing one though. Anyways, if I get an ultrasound around 8 or 9 weeks and everything looks good then I'll announce at that time

Our parents know by virtue of us having done IVF, which we were open about with them. A couple of my girlfriends who were also getting fertility treatments know since we were going through it at the same time.

I would not tell a single soul beyond that for as long as humanly possible. I've had a loss before, and I know that for me personally, I wouldn't want that to happen again and then I have to explain to every secretary I work with what happened. Basically I'll tell people when/if I start showing rather obviously.

We lost our first baby at 20 weeks gestation, so there will be no big announcements until probably 24-25 weeks. I'm 6+5 today, and my mom knows, DH's boss knows, and one person that he works with. That's it so far. I want to tell DH's parents, but we don't get a chance to call them often.
