I could see just wanting to get all the pregnancy over with quickly too. My sister did that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-announce-your-pregnancy/page/2#post-1230468 Wed, 20 Nov 2013 15:26:47 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 1230468@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: that's our plan too! Have 2 &amp; then then work a bit to build seniority and then have a 3rd. I don't want 3 in daycare. I'd rather stay home with 2 and have my frat be in full-time kindergarten. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-announce-your-pregnancy/page/2#post-1230461 Wed, 20 Nov 2013 15:23:32 +0000 autumnlove 1230461@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: Not yet.

But other than that, we will hold off.<br /> This is our ideal plan:<br /> 17-19w-- parents and family<br /> 20w-- IRL friends (most live out of state) and hb<br /> Obviously showing---everyone else (dh's employees, neighbors, my professors &amp; classmates) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-announce-your-pregnancy/page/2#post-1230446 Wed, 20 Nov 2013 15:18:15 +0000 doodlepoodle 1230446@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our close family/friends were told right away, everyone else was told in our Christmas cards at 17w.

I told work at around 8-9 weeks. I show very early and I really couldn't hide it.

Like a few hours later, because I was a hot mess about it. </p> <p>D's family at 7 weeks. We'd been hoping to have an ultrasound to confirm the pregnancy first, but they couldn't get us in before Christmas and Christmas seemed like a great time to share. </p> <p>My father and stepmother at 8 weeks, after the first ultrasound. </p> <p>My siblings and some of my extended family (like my grandmother) over the next few weeks. </p> <p>FB at 13 weeks, after the NT scan. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-announce-your-pregnancy#post-1229877 Wed, 20 Nov 2013 12:57:45 +0000 SweetMamaM 1229877@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My dad at seven weeks, because I was going to see my out of town sister at nine weeks and tell her. The rest of the family at twelve weeks and then work and Facebook at around fourteen weeks. It's amazing how we still find people that have somehow "missed out" on the news. There was a bit of a rush of whispers at senior prize giving (I'm a teacher) when they were announcing staff departures, including mine for maternity leave... I guess that some of the staff and my former students just thought I was getting chubby, even at 23 weeks :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-announce-your-pregnancy#post-1229776 Wed, 20 Nov 2013 12:37:14 +0000 lindseykaye 1229776@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>7-8 weeks for close family and local friends. We were hosting a St. Paddy's day party and it would have been REALLY hard for me to hide not drinking at our annual bash.<br /> 10 weeks for my boss, so I could clue her in that I was alright and that all my doctor's appt's weren't for a problem.<br /> 15 weeks for the rest of my work and FB </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-announce-your-pregnancy#post-1229757 Wed, 20 Nov 2013 12:32:23 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 1229757@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>family 8 and 7 weeks, close friends 14 weeks both times, and FB when they were born... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-announce-your-pregnancy#post-1229718 Wed, 20 Nov 2013 12:24:22 +0000 catomd00 1229718@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>-My in-laws at 8 weeks because we were on vacation with them and didn't want them to just put two and two together.<br /> -My parents/siblings/grandparents at 12 weeks since it was the first time we'd seen them in person since we found out<br /> -A few close friends between 8-12 weeks as we saw them and they noticed<br /> -Boss at 17 weeks when I couldn't hide it much longer; the rest of the office between 18-19 weeks<br /> -Rest of the family/friends has found out since we've seen them or word has just naturally spread around.

Although if I have as intense morning sickness as the first time around, it will be completely impossible to hide. And my SIL has been trying for a bit longer than us...I know she's starting to get a bit frustrated, so if we do get pregnant first I may wait a month or two in the hopes that soon she'll also have some good news to share (she would definitely tell us right away.) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-announce-your-pregnancy#post-1229371 Wed, 20 Nov 2013 10:56:37 +0000 Dandelion 1229371@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I told parents and siblings at 10 weeks for this pregnancy.
