so i got the thumbs up from the doctor and im farther along than i thought, pretty excited yet a bit confused since experiencing a loss last year, this time im less modest but still yet to tell friends and family since i know the news will spread like wild fire on a windy day and i don't know if im ready for all the congrats just yet. im not sure when it would be a good time to start telling about my surprise, somebody help me out.

I don't know what to tell you... I'm struggling with the same thing... my initial plan was to wait until my first regularly-scheduled u/s, which is coming up next week at 8 1/2 weeks... but I'm worried I may need to just come out and explain when someone asks why I'm not drinking or playing wiffleball this weekend. (I'm a horrible liar)

My cousin just told the family her good news; she had a few first trimester complications (I guess they thought it might be ectopic for awhile, even), so she waited until she was in the 2nd trimester...

I would say, when you feel ready to accept those congratulations, that would probably be the right time to spread the news... maybe a situation will just present itself?
