Question

I am 5 weeks pregnant with the very 1st and we are super excited.  I've told random people because I feel the urge to tell the whole world!!!  I have been reading about when I should tell my family and everyone has a different answer.

My mom is flying to see us on December 12 (only for the weekend)... Should I tell her that weekend?! If yes, please give me some great ideas to surprise her.

Answer

I am 6 and a half weeks and we have started telling family. We got onesies and wrote "baby g
Coming July 2015" and are giving to each set of parents!!

Answer

Yes! I wish we could have told our fam in person, at the airport you could hold a small sign that says pick up: Grandma (her name) . With a pink and blue balloon?

Answer

If you want to tell people then tell them. The night I found out I told everyone. Some people believe they should wait in fear something will happen, but you do what is best for you. Gl

Answer

I think telling your mom is a good idea. My pregnancy ended in a mc and I don't know if I could have gone through that without the support of my husband & my parents. I might reccommend holding off on telling more distant relatives acquaintances & coworkers, but moms will be your best support no matter what happens. Good luck with your pregnancy & congrats!

Answer

Yes! Give her an early Christmas gift ? something like a mug that says "worlds best gma" would be so cute!!

Answer

I told my mum at 6 weeks when we found out, it's nice to have someone close to talk to x

Answer

This is what I was struggling with and I realized everything happens for a reason and at this time right now need to enjoy this process....we told our family and friends didn't blast it on Facebook yet lol ...but told the close people in our life....enjoy this time and def say something!! Congrats!!! ?

Answer

I think the only people that should know before 13 weeks is your partner, and your parents and the in laws. Because at least if anything happens the whole world (meaning the rest of family and friends) won't know. Good luck and congrats!

Answer

I am nearly 8 weeks. I'll be 11.2 on Christmas day which is when we are telling parents. I've done Christmas boxes for parents and grandparents. On the inside lid of the box I have made a scrabble board crossword saying BABY, OUR SURNAME, JULY 2015 and in the box have put tissue paper with a pair of tiny knitted booties too. Can't wait to see their faces x

Answer

I am only 5 weeks pregnant too and wanted to wait to say anything until at least the first doc app my my SO was too excited and didn't want to waut. We told the whole family on thanksgiving and they are all just as excited!
