So nervous about big reveal to family

We are having a big bbq tomorrow for DH's 30th bday and since I will be 11w 5d, we are going to announce to everyone that we are having a baby. Although I am so excited about finally being able to reveal our exciting news, I am so nervous about it! I am petrified that we are going to tell everyone and then something terrible is going to happen! I know I am probably just being silly, but I can't help it.

Totally normal feeling. I think no matter when you tell them your going to have that fear.. its b/c now your facing reality that the baby is coming and its no longer a dream. Youll be okay, your almost finished with 1st trimester Chat Icon

Good Luck tomorrow.. so excitted for you.. Are you just going to tell them or having something planned?

Good luck. It's so nervewracking but in the end, it will be a wonderful experience. I told my family on Easter Sunday and it turned out to be a wonderful celebration.

good luck, they'll be soo happy!! Does your parents know yet? Personally, I would tell them without all the family around first to make it a little bit more special.

Good luck!! It will all be fine; enjoy it!! I bought my dog a shirt that Colette found on cafe press. It says, "I was the baby first!" It is adorable! You don't have time to order that but maybe some variation of it? When DH and I revealed to the family, it was Easter and we had to bring dessert. I had the bakery write on a chocolate covered cheesecake in yellow writing, "We're Having a Baby!" My family loved it!! Keep us updated! Chat Icon Chat Icon

Yes, our parents and siblings know already - couldn't keep it a secret from them - I am a wino - everyone knew right away when I denied a glass of wineChat Icon

Re: So nervous about big reveal to family

The way I feel is that if something happens God for Bid this is your family and you will need their support, I did anyway whe I MC in April.. I still told everyone I am preggo again because I am so nervous and scared of it happening again I wanted them to know so they could talk me though it and they didnt think I was nuts for actingthe way i am..

Good luch with the reveal,, it should be so much fun!
