When did you tell your parents?

Question

Hey guys! I will be 6 weeks tomorrow and I am dying to tell my parents. Today is my dad’s birthday and we are doing a small get together with just my immediate family. I want to tell them so bad! I have been to the doctor and she has confirmed the pregnancy but I haven’t done an ultrasound or blood work yet. I won’t be doing that until a few more weeks. Should I tell them or just wait until we have more confirmation? Thanks!

Answer

I have a really close relationship with my parents. Having just experienced a loss and leaning on my mom during that time I couldn't imagine not telling her. I also told her the day after I found out with my first because I was freaking about the cruise I was leaving in 5 days for and I was so scared of Zika and I had to talk it through with someone! Sometimes you just need your mom!

Answer

We are waiting till the 8 week mark - I can’t wait 12 but the first 8 weeks are the scariest.... have my first appointment on the Friday And we will tell them Sunday :)

Answer

We went through IVF and my parents knew so I told them a couple of days after my first positive test this week.

Answer

I told after I got the BFP. I knew if (god forbid) something would happen, I’d need the support system. And thank god I did because yesterday I had some spotting and had a bit of a scare and my mom was kind enough to watch my 2.5 year old while I “took it easy”

Answer

We told our parents right away, but waited to tell everyone else until after the first ultrasound around 8-9 weeks

Answer

I’m going to wait until after the first ultrasound to tell them! At 8 weeks 😊

Answer

I told my parents right away, we’re really close and they were very supportive when I had a loss in 2015.  We are waiting to tell everybody else until I go for an ultrasound at 12 weeks.

Answer

We have our first scan Wednesday (8+1-ivf pregnancy) and if all is good we will be telling our parents over the weekend!
