if you found out you were pregnant before the holidays

would you try to wait until the holidays to tell your husband and parents?
i know if we did get pregnant this month i'd be soooo friggin excited that the whole universe would know but at the same time i think it would be so cute to buy him & my parents something and announce it like that.
(ex a cute christmas card for the grandparents)

have you thought of this?

Re: if you found out you were pregnant before the holidays

I would tell my DH right away. My cycle this month works out that Christmas Day would be CD29. Now for the past couple of months my cycles have gone 35 and 36 days so I might be inclined to test on 12/25 just because if it is a BFP that will be the best gift ever for both my DH and myself! However we haven't dicussed whether or not to tell parents asap.

So to answer your question, yes I would of course tell DH right away and I am not sure about the parents.

Re: if you found out you were pregnant before the holidays

I have definitely thought about this..
I don't think I would be able to keep it from DH
But I would love to do something cute for our parents
AF is due around the 18th so it would be just in time for christmas- I'd have to try and hold off telling everyone for a week which knowing me would be hard.

it could be a number of things.. try not to worry about it this month.. as long as you BD'ed around your fertile window you should be okay!!

if you are out this month.. which i Chat Icon that you are not.. you can always keep better track of your CM ! it does help!

Re: if you found out you were pregnant before the holidays

I will be testing 12/24 if this is my month. First of all, people will probably guess when I don't drink wine.

But, my plan is to buy DD a Big Sister onesie for underneath her X-mas dress and ask DH to change her diaper.

I'll probably do the same thing with my mom and MIL since I'll see them both on X-mas.

I definitely would not wait to tell DH. He was right there with me when I got the call about my beta.

As far as my family goes... we will be seeing them for Christmas, but if anything... will only be just finding out at/around/after that time - so no, we will not tell them.

We definitely do want to tell them in person and they are OOS, so had we gotten pregnant maybe a month or 2 ago that would have worked... We will at least wait until we hear the heartbeat before telling them.

I would tell DH right away. If I found out before xmas, I might tell DH's parents, but once they know everyone will know and I would at least want to have had my first doctors appt before we tell everyone.

Re: if you found out you were pregnant before the holidays

with DS we waited until Christmas to tell everyone (I found out the day after Thanksgiving) it was fun, but I told a few people prior to b/c I couldn't hold it in.

Re: if you found out you were pregnant before the holidays

If we do become pregnant this, month (I will find out one week from today or tomorrow) I plan to give DH an early christmas present which will be my BFP in a box wrapped in christmas paper...

As for our families, I think I would really want to wait until we hear the heart beat - and I think I would do something cute where wrap a pacifier or little shoes in a box and tell them I just found an extra christmas present for them, that I meant to give them on christmas...

Re: if you found out you were pregnant before the holidays

I would tell DH right away, and I think I am going to wait 3 months before I tell anyone else , family included *IF * I can keep my big mouth shut long enough. It would work out to the three months around my dad's birthday so I would give him a 1# grandpa shirt or something like that.


good luck to everyone Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon for holiday babies !

Re: if you found out you were pregnant before the holidays

I would definitely tell DH right away. AF is due on Monday Chat Icon, but it is DH's birthday on Friday and hopefully I will know something by then!


As for the rest of the family, I think the holidays is such a great time because everyone is already happy and babies make everyone so much happier!

I would wait. But this isn't our first baby.

with the 1st I told as soon as I got a BFP. Second the next day with an I'm gonna be a big brother T-shirt on my son.

This one I waited a whole week. Our 6th Anniversary was coming so I told him while we were out to dinner.

Re: if you found out you were pregnant before the holidays

I have the hardest time keeping secrets, so although I wish I had it in me to keep it a surprise, I just couldn't do it. We are hoping to tell the family members that do not yet know on Christmas.

Re: if you found out you were pregnant before the holidays

DH would probably be reading the test with meChat Icon With DS, I had no self control....couldn't keep my mouth shut & told everyone--immediately. Something tells me that I'd have a hard time keeping quiet this time as well.
