You sound like me,Chat Icon . I told some people at work, like my boss and close friends there because of the type of work I do. DH told everyone he knows. I told about 75% of my friends but was trying to hold out til Thanksgiving to tell my family. Thought that would be nice but, Im going to see most of them next weekend and wanted to tell them then. I was dying today when I ran into 1 of my aunts but, she would steel my thunder and tell everyone before I got the chance.Chat Icon

Same

If it were up to me, I wouldnt ever tell anyone else, but my parents and inlaws have been telling people on the DL!

I guess I'll tell everyone else at 12 weeks.

Re: How long before you started

I still haven't told anyone except my sis and our 3 BFF.

The only reason i didnt tell my mom is because i know we would want to tell everyone and i would end up doing it. But i have 2 young sisters and a niece so i didn't want to have to give them bad news God forbid something happened. But Monday we have our NT scan so i am going to tell the world then.

Re: How long before you started

I told my parents the day after we got our bfp. Dh told a friend and coworker that same day. I only have 2 friends that know. And that's all I think who knows. I wanted to wait until next fri to have my first appt to find out what's going on and then I'll share with more people.

Re: How long before you started

I told strangers right away. Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon I think I told everyone that I had contact with. Didn't matter if I told them since they didn't know me or my family.

I waited to tell family until 8 weeks. Then everyone else at 12 weeks.

Re: How long before you started

I'm terrible at keeping secrets. I'm 9 weeks and mostly every family member knows by now. Facebook, I'm going to wait awhile. My sister in law is pregnant (20 weeks) and my sister is pregnant (6 weeks) both with their first so I plan on staying low key for a while.
