Today, I am somewhere around 9 weeks (depending on if you go by the LMP or the US). Originally, we were waiting until after our first appointment on the 17th to tell anyone. Due to the nature of my job, I have already had to tell quite a few people there. Both our parents live 3 hours away and we scheduled to go visit the weekend after our appointment. However, I’m struggling with spotting and other concerns and really want to tell my mom what is going on. I feel like it would be more special if I told her in person, but that week and a half seems forever away. Any advice?
