We told a few days after we got our BFP. We did end up mc'ing, but I wouldn't have changed a thing, we really needed the support of our parents through that anyway! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/told-our-parents-this-weekend#post-193978 Mon, 18 Jun 2012 13:42:13 +0000 Rescuemom10 193978@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I told my mom right away, and my Sister in law. I couldnt keep it from them. DH was also super excited and told his parents right away as well. Still waiting to announce to everyone once we are farther along. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/told-our-parents-this-weekend#post-193837 Mon, 18 Jun 2012 12:13:12 +0000 chopsuey 193837@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We told everyone in our families and close friends when we found out at 4 weeks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/told-our-parents-this-weekend#post-193822 Mon, 18 Jun 2012 12:02:48 +0000 oliviaoblivia 193822@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Congrats on your announcement! I told my parents at 4.5 weeks. I'm miserable with secrets. Now at 11 weeks it's not a secret at all any more, though I haven't put anything on Facebook. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/told-our-parents-this-weekend#post-193801 Mon, 18 Jun 2012 11:54:47 +0000 hilsy85 193801@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yup, at 5 1/2 weeks. Congrats on telling your parents! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/told-our-parents-this-weekend#post-193795 Mon, 18 Jun 2012 11:51:43 +0000 ladyfingers 193795@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lilteacherbee: Congrats!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/told-our-parents-this-weekend#post-193793 Mon, 18 Jun 2012 11:51:31 +0000 ladyfingers 193793@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@twodoghouse: Well we just blurted it out with MIL and FIL since it was over the phone. After I gave my dad his Father's Day gift, we brought out our first ultrasound photo and I said, we have another present for you too, and handed it to him. He just stared at it, I don't think he knew what it was lol and so his wife leaned over and whispered, "It's a baby!" It was really cute. She had texted me earlier to ask if they could bring anything and I asked her to bring some coffee since I don't drink it anymore and didn't want to buy a whole new batch, and she said when I told her that, she thought, "Hm... I wonder if she's pregnant?!" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/told-our-parents-this-weekend#post-193723 Mon, 18 Jun 2012 11:09:38 +0000 LuLu Mom 193723@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! We told our parents right away, like 5-6 weeks in. We knew we needed their support in the beginning and they would know if we had a miscarriage so there was no point in our mind to keep it quiet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/told-our-parents-this-weekend#post-193709 Mon, 18 Jun 2012 10:56:07 +0000 sunshineandsushi 193709@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We also told our parents this weekend! We're at the 8-week mark tomorrow and wanted to tell our dads on Father's Day. It's a little relieving now that they know, I don't have to keep hiding why I'm exhausted, or don't want to eat certain foods! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/told-our-parents-this-weekend#post-193701 Mon, 18 Jun 2012 10:49:33 +0000 carrieknitscake 193701@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom had me figured out at 6 weeks pregnant right after Christmas. We didn't tell my inlaws until 9 weeks after our first appointment and on my MIL's birthday. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/told-our-parents-this-weekend#post-193615 Mon, 18 Jun 2012 10:06:24 +0000 Rubies 193615@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We told our parents when I was 10 weeks - it was Christmas time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/told-our-parents-this-weekend#post-193610 Mon, 18 Jun 2012 10:03:06 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 193610@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Congrats on telling your parents. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/told-our-parents-this-weekend#post-193595 Mon, 18 Jun 2012 09:48:42 +0000 lilteacherbee 193595@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Congrats!

My dad and his wife were coming over yesterday for Father's Day and I have been so exhausted and nauseous that I couldn't imagine having them there for 6 hours and hiding it. It was fun telling them and talking about everything, and DH called his mom and dad -- and we swore everybody to secrecy until further notice. </p> <p>Did anybody else tell their parents early on? </p>
