When did you tell the family bubs was born?

Question

I got a message from my husbands sister today wanting to know if I will let her know when I'm in labour or if I will wait until I'm settled "Hey when it does all happen and you are going into labour etc, will you let me know? Or wait until your settled after? Like i dont mean i want to see it all happen haha i just want to be in the area of the day if ya get what i mean? Xx lol"
What I'm wondering is when did you let the inlaws know? My mum, brother and his wife will know when I'm in labour but I honestly don't want hubby's family finding out until I'm settled. They do my head in. I also don't trust them not to put anything on Facebook before we do - ugh.

Answer

I think that if ur going to be that way about it then u need to just keep it between the parents of baby. That way there's no drama on either side of the family and no one can complain about you just wanting you and your father of your child in the room and if they do tell them to kiss your ass

Answer

My husband called his parents to let them know as soon as we got to the hospital. My dad lives with us so he drove us there and I called my mom as soon as my water broke so she could drive 7 hours to be there for the birth. If you're concerned about people showing up at the hospital just don't tell them until the baby is born. We didn't live near family at the time.

Answer

I won't tell anybody until it's all over and I'm settled. We will call and say, guess what? The baby is here. I want to enjoy the moment with my SO and baby before my phone starts going off every ten seconds.

Answer

I went into labor early. My husband called my mom because she was supposed to be up here with us already. My labor was so fast we didn't have time to call anyone else's, lol.

Answer

I told my parents & in laws sisters & brother , we are really close . it's up to when you feel right letting them know

Answer

because I'll probably need another c section everyone who needs to know will(hubbys mom, my mom, and my husband has chosen his brothers as his support in case things go wrong), other than that we will tell no one until I'm up and I've gotten to hold my baby :) were allowing family to take pictures but they are NOT allowed to post them and they fully respect that.

Answer

I would tell our immediate families and grandmas I'm in labor (we each dont have grandfathers, never have..) but only my husband in the room. MAYBE my mom.. Trying to decide. After the baby is born we will need a few hours before anyone is invited in. Bonding time is so important and me and my husband will take full advantage of time alone w our baby

Answer

unfortunately my moms passed, I will tell my dad and grandma when in labor and I'm sure my husband will tell his whole family.......I personally only want my grandma and my husband in the room and I'm worried his mom is going to throw a fit wanting to be in there? idk how to handle it
