Have you told anyone???
| Mon, 07-18-2005 - 10:24am |
DH and I told our family (parents and sisters) pretty quickly after we found out this time, but I haven't told anyone else except for 2 neighbors (1 came over for a drink, and the other has been my confidante through this whole thing), and I just told a close coworker.


I am waiting until after my first trimester to tell everyone including family this time around. It will be VERY hard to keep my mouth shut but both dh and I agreed to wait!!

I've told my bestfriend - she lives far away, but has always been a major support system thru everything.
Hi Amy:)
We told the in laws as soon as we got a + HPT because they knew that we were TTC and had been such a huge support system to us over the months.
We've agreed to tell after the 1st Trimester. I can live with this, last time I fell too hard and the m/c had a terrible effect on my mom. She knows how desperate we are to have a baby and I don't want to worry her with this roller coaster ride.
I remain hopefull.

Well I've told 4 people, 2 close friends, 1 close co-worker and my mom. My mom was at the hospital with me when I m/c my first so she's been a great support. I'm a lot more hesitant about telling anyone else and DH feels the same way. We are going to wait until the 2nd trimester to tell everyone and until at least we see a healthy heartbeat before we share the news with close family.

I am only 5w 2d so we haven't told anyone yet - we are both kind of in denial still until we (hopefully) see the hb.
We had originally said we were only going to tell my sister, mom and bf until we were into the second trimester.
DH and I usually wait until after 12 weeks to tell anyone. Though this time we told his brother/SIL and sister/BIL because we just spent a week with them in a vacation home along the NJ shore. I knew it would be impossible to hide, since everyone was drinking daiquiris most of the week. I was 8 weeks.
I couldn't wait any more and told my mom last night. I told my mom right away after I got my BFP last time (my pregnancy JUST after missed m/c) and she worried a lot for me. It also brought back a lot of feelings for her of when her first baby was stillborn. I wanted to spare a little bit of that for her, but I've been bursting to tell her. She was very excited and happy for us (this was a surprise pregnancy for DH & me). I am due a little bit after my birthday and she always wanted me to be born on Valentine's Day but I came a week early or so. I told her that she may get her Valentine's baby yet!
We'll tell the rest of the family after 12 weeks. Or maybe after my next appt at 11 weeks (August 4th), as long as there's a heartbeat and all is well. I so want to be out of the first trimester, with a baby who is alive and kicking!

Hi
I'm very early along (not yet 7 weeks) but we've told all our friends. Last time, I had a missed m/c at 11 weeks and hadn't told anyone then we told everyone why I was so miserable and lying around all the time... and it felt awful to tell them I'd been pregnant AND had a m/c all at once.
This time, I figured lets just tell people and then they share the joys and fears with us and understand why I am such a fruitcake along the way.
