There was a thread like this awhile back, but now that so many new ppl have joined this board I thought it might be fun to revisit! And I know that we have been having SO many ppl ask my DH and I when we plan to have another, so it has been on my mind...So...are you and DH/SO telling ppl that are you TTC? If so, how did ppl react? If not, how do you think they will react to find out you are PG?
--For us, we aren't telling anyone. Well, our two good friends across the country know. But that is just so I could have ONE person to talk to, and the other friend is in med school and can answer all my crazy questions! And I am not sure they know we are actually "trying," just that we have been thinking about it. Anyways...
I think that most ppl will be surprised. We hope to have our little kiddos close together, and I don't think many ppl expect that. We have been having tons of ppl ask us when we want to have another, and we both just try to brush it off and say we really don't know. Well, DH always tells them it is up to me, since I am the one that gets to be PG! And I just say, I am not sure because DD is a quite a handful right now :) So I don't think most ppl will be expecting it, but who knows!!
So what about you?!








Hello,
I can see why people choose not to tell but I for one am not very good at keeping quiet...lol. I have told many of my friends and family that we are TTC#2. Even a few people at work...lol. My DD is 15 months right now and we would like to have them close together as well. I am aiming for 2 years apart so we started trying a month early :). The dreaded 2ww is ahead of me right now...lol. I had a good feeling about it yesterday but feeling a little down today...agh!
My SO is not telling anyone as he doesn't even want to know we are TTC himself.

Don't let what other people think bother you (easier said than done...lol). We were not married when we TTC #1. We also wanted to start a family before we both turned 30 but a wedding seemed like to long to wait for. DD is now 15 months old...we got married last June when she was 7 months :)....it was fun planning a wedding while on mat leave...
Your post sounded so familiar because my DH (my SO at the time) was not much into TTC #1...while he wanted a baby he didnt want to hear anything about OPK's or my cycle so I pretty much had to do all that stuff on my own....probably one of the reasons why I talked to my girl friends about it at the time. However, now TTC #2 he is much more involved...its nice :)...
GL...:)
We have told our closest friends and my family that we are TTC.
we are not telling either....between us, we have 5 kids...I have 2 from a previous marriage and he has 3....so people think we are crazy when we even say we would like to have one together...
We are not annoucing it to everyone, but when someone asks us when we are going to try again; being it has been a year and a half since my daughter was born and a year since she has passed, we answer them yes becuase we are.
