I know some women like to wait to announce their pregnancy, while others tell this community before they tell their DH.
How long did you wait to tell HelloBee?

Good question!!
I'm not sure what I'm going to do yet truthfully! I'm HORRIBLE at secrets, but I'm not sure (when the time comes) if I will out myself right away online.....hmmmm...

First time around I was on WB and I don't remember how long I waited.
DH will definitely know before HB for #2!

I was on WB and I think I shared on the POAS thread there because I was in shock. I joined HB a few days after my BFP.
If we decide to have another LO HB will probably find out before DH, but probably same day

On WB, I used a similar username which was different from my often current one. I announced quickly on there long before FB. For #2, HB will know long before FB as well.

Not very long. I started posting on my month board right away.

I was on WB for my first and waited to post anything until I was 12 weeks. This time, I started posting on my due date thread at around 9 weeks and then started posting about more openly around 12 weeks.

However long I laid in bed thinking I would be able to go back to sleep after telling DH.

A few days. I told DH first and then we wanted to tell our best friends! Mostly, bc she is on Hellobee and I wanted her to hear it from us personally!

I waited until I was 9 weeks along. I wanted to tell before bc the IF ladies were so wonderful and supportive but I was really scared and superstitious...

12 weeks. I don't mind telling people on here before that, but I just get too paranoid that someone IRL will find out.

Right after I told Hubs! So I tested, told Hubs within a few minutes, and HB shortly after that!

I didn't plan on telling HB first, but Dan was at work & I was having test issues! I told Dan as soon as he got off work.

I joined the November board around a week or two after I found out, but I'm not very active. I never made an official announcement, although I probably should.

I had people eyeing squinter HPTs for me on the internet...so people knew before I even knew for sure LOL

Ummm less than an hour for this 2nd pregnancy. DH was at work, I didn't want to tell him over text and I was completely shocked/freaking out.
When I was pregnant with E I wasn't active on HB but I waited about a day and a half before telling WB.

About 5 minutes after I saw the squinter. I needed other people's eyes to tell me mine weren't lying before telling my husband.

I was on the Dec POAS thread, so I only waited until my blood test revealed good beta results. DH already knew since he insisted on being there to examine the lines on every test we took. Only the first one at 7dpo didn't show any line, the ones after that started appearing within the 5 minute mark. DH of course was super skeptical since it wasn't a dark line, he is such a boy and doesn't realize that a line is a line!

First time, the next day...but it was after we lost the baby. Second time, a few hours later. Though, if I were home alone, it may be earlier next time

I told some HB-ers but didn't totally announce until 13 weeks.
watermelon / 14206 posts
I didn't join HB until I was about 20 weeks...but I joined my due date board right away upon joining

I told Immediately. Lol. I told HB before everyone besides my husband. I found out at 3 weeks 4 days and joined and posted the same day.
I'm really enjoying keeping up with all the mommies due at the same time as me!
