Who have you told and how?

Question

Who have you told that your are pregnant and how did you tell them?  When do you plan to tell other specific people and then the general public?

Answer

My husband knew first, then he told everyone at work (he was overly excited) I told him to at least wait another couple of days. Took another test about 6 days later, said positive again, he then told more ppl at work LOL...I told my best friend, and sister in law. Then we told the kids. After the kids he told his mom, brother an sister. We haven’t told my mom or dad or his father. And I don’t plan to make it public as this is our 6th child, and sooooooo many of our friends and family have behaved unfavourable towards our announcements with our last one. Once they see me face to face I’ll tell them. But not in social media.

Answer

We cloth diapered my first and I sew clothes and diapers so this was my announcement to hubby and my mom and BFF. I mean I told hubby in person with the diaper and tests and sent the pic to my mom. It’s a newborn cloth diaper so teeny tiny!

Answer

Told my husband and my mom and one of my sisters. Keeping it at that until I have an ultrasound.

Answer

We told my in laws the day we found out. My mother in law had just finished cancer treatments and I wanted her to have some happy. Then I told my mom and sister and my husband told a few people. Going to tell our 6 year old after the first ultrasound. He’s been begging for a sibling so we are excited to share with him. 
We aren’t doing a big announcement this time. I just don’t feel like sharing with the world, just those close to us. We did all that with our son and it was great but I don’t want to this time.

Answer

Only my husband, 20 month old and best friend know. I like to wait until I’ve been to the doctor for heartbeat and ultrasound before I tell family.
But I’m really wanting to tell my mom!

Answer

So far only my husband and I know but we are telling my mom and stepdad and his mom tonight! I made “cupcakes” out of onesies that reference grandma and grandpa and put them in little cupcake boxes. 
Tomorrow I’m telling all my siblings because we Weill all actually be together for a weekend trip. I think I’m just going to tell them all because my original plan isn’t going to work. Sunday I’ll tell my dad since I won’t be able to see him until then with a grandpa onesie. 
I plan to tell my close friends next weekend and I’m sure my extended family will find out from my parents whenever they blab lol

Answer

I’ve told my husband (obviously), my best friend and my mom, but solely bc she nanny’s for us and sees me every day and would figure it out. Other parents/siblings/family will find out after our scan at 9 weeks and we’ll explain it to our 21 month old when I start to show and we think she’ll understand it. Not doing any big social media announcing, we’ll tell friends as we see them.

Answer

I’ve told my parents and siblings. But my husband has decided he doesn’t want any of his family knowing until 12 weeks. Everyone else will find out then too. Work, friends, social media

Answer

I'm 7 weeks. I'd love to wait, but that isn't possible due to travel in a few weeks. I think I may tell my mom today. I have an appointment tomorrow, and we plan on telling the in laws after. They will be babysitting our son, so we plan on taking him in with a "Big Brother" shirt on. We will give my in laws permission to tell the rest of their family. However, I want to wait to tell the rest of my family because they are not as respectful with boundaries. 🙄 I probably will not do a big social media announcement. I didn't with my son either.

Answer

I was due March 2018, found out June 31st 2017 that I was pregnant. On July 1st I told my SO. July 2nd I told my family. July 3rd we told his mom and brother and then July 4th we told the rest of his family when we saw them.
Distant family and our friends found out in August on social media when I was 10 weeks. I didn’t wait for the twelve weeks, I was excited and if something were to happen I wanted their support.
