Anyone NOT told their parents yet?

Question

I'm almost 13 weeks and haven't told them, even though we are close and see each other at least once a week. With my other kids I told them basically the second I knew I was pregnant, but I've had a lot of losses since then. I'm also not married to the dad this time around and my parents are pretty traditional. I'm thinking of telling them around 14 weeks...I hope they aren't hurt I waited so long!

Answer

You are doing what's best for you. The stress of parents while carrying your baby is hard. I told mine and then my parents lost my siblings to fostercare and called me up and disowned me. I wish I hadn't told them in the beginning. But the fact is all you can do is take whatever happens and make choices based on what's best for your baby and your family. Some people feel it's harsh for me to say my baby won't have its biological grandparents on my side even though they've said sorry. The fact is no one else is responsible fort he heartbreak my child could go through if my parents said something on a whim like that to them. YOU are responsible for the stress that child endures. Not your parents. Therefore you've done what you think is best.

I have not told my parents yet, we definitely told my boyfriends mom because shes a angel and helps us more then i could evet thank her for. My parents are way different and plus 2 OF MY SISTERS ARE PREGNANT TOO, one is due in November and tye other is due a week before me. Its so hard to try and hide it from them i want to tell them tomorrow at my 12 week ultrasound. But all my 4 sisters due know i am pregnant try having them all around talking about there pregnancy and for mine not to slip up lol. Its tuff.

Answer

I'll be 14 weeks on Friday and still haven't told them. It's my rainbow baby and it just honestly still doesn't seem real. I will hear the hb Friday so I'll probably tell them shortly after that.

Answer

I didn't tell any family until almost 12 weeks just because I was worried something could happen and I didn't want them to be sad if something did. I told them all this week and everyone is super excited :) I am glad I waited though!

Answer

I'm 12 weeks today.  I have not told my parents yet.  In fact, only 3 people know besides me and my husband.  I will get the results back from the Panorama Genetic Screening in 2 weeks (I will be 14 weeks) and it will also reveal the gender.  At that time, I will feel comfortable telling our kids, our parents, then church/friends...in that order.  Lol

Answer

Told my mom as soon as I knew at 4 weeks. Now I'm at 12 and waiting to see if I'm miscarrying. My mom's been very supportive.
If I end up still pregnant, I'll be telling other relatives in my second trimester. If I miscarry, this is miscarriage #2.

Answer

Oh wow, fair play. I couldn't help myself, told my mam once I had the scan and knew it was real. That being said, kinda wished I didn't as her response really hurt me. I think you are so strong to have held out so long. Congratulations xx

Answer

I'm 12 weeks and my mom and in laws don't know. My husband and I, close friend and her husband and another close friend only know. I have my appt on Friday. We still don't know when we will tell them. Less weeks they know less remarks or comments. This is our first baby but second pregnancy. My husband and I are very independent from our families.
