Have you told your family (aka in laws and parents) you are TTC?

Question

Answer

I told my mom. Would never tell my husbands parents.

Answer

We've told DH's brother and SIL because they're trying too and I can use the support. I also told one of my best friends. Other than that, nobody. His mom has an idea, my mom doesn't. It isn't that were trying to be secretive, but I don't want people pestering and stressing me with "Are you pregnant yet?!" questions.

Answer

I'm the opposite of private so pretty much everyone knew lol. Family, friends, coworkers haha. And I told everyone pretty much right away when I found out I was pregnant. Everyone was super supportive and helpful so it was fine for us.

Answer

I only told my sister but since I've been married for almost 3 years, everybody is just "sure" I am not conceiving yet! After I got married everyone was like: Anything new? (meaning are u pregnant), now everyone tries me to teach lectures like not to stress and all that crap they say (like they care)... Me and my husband are just perfectly healthy married couple. It's just not happening. No reason. I am about to give up ttc...

Answer

I've told a VERY SELECT few friends. One that's a mommy, and one that is also TTC. Otherwise the only 'family' that knows is BF's grandma and that's only because he slightly spilled the beans and I elaborated for him because she was confused.

Answer

Told my two best friends, but that is it. One of my friends is having a hard time getting pregnant herself, so I didn't want her to be upset if it came out of left field that we were pregnant. Not planning on sharing with parents. My in-laws are begging for them... They have one grandchild, but it seems I'm their best bet for anymore. Good luck!

Answer

We're thinking about it. My husband's brother's wife got pregnant shortly after we started actively trying (August 2014), so it's been a little disheartening for me and we think that if we maybe tell his parents, they'd understand the sensitivity of the situation.

Answer

We were told it was going to be very hard for my husband and I to conceive on our own bc of pcos but told to try for a year before any fertility treatments. His family is always nagging us to start a family and I really don't feel like telling them we are ttc. My sisters in law sneeze and get pregnant so I don't think they will understand the roller coaster we are on. So we decided to keep it to ourselves until a bfp.

Answer

We haven't because we want to surprise his parents, it would be their first biological grandchild! They accept my children as their grandkids but they don't have any that their kids have made themselves lol

Answer

We told our 2 best friends who are also trying to conceive. I think in laws kind of assume we are trying though.
