When you found out you were pregnant, who did you share the news with first? My DH (then fiancé) was at work til 1am so I didn't want to tell him over the phone... I called my brother and shared the news!

My husband was the first to know. The first time I was pregnant he was in the hospital and I wouldn't see him until the next day, so I called him and told him. The second time he was right next to me.

I called my two best friends first. I was freaking out because this baby was a HUGE surprise. I went over to my girlfriend's house and took three more tests.
I told DH later that night when we took our dog for a walk.

My husband was first. I can't imagine telling anyone else before him. Then I told a good friend who had been giving me support while we were ttc.

I told my husband first once he got home from work. It was the longest 4 hour wait of my life! Then, we told my my and dad later that night. We told his parents about 2 weeks later and his sister a day after that. Then my sister on Christmas Eve which was 3 weeks after we found out because we wanted to tell her in person.

My friend who lives in PA who I was IM'ing with was pressuring me to test so...she found out first. Then my friend Jenni found out because I couldn't hold it in. I waited until I got home to tell my husband. I don't think he knows those girls knew first.... ha!
After that...at 12 weeks we told my Mom and Dad.

My husband was first. Then one of my friends. They are still the only ones who know and I'm 10.5 weeks along (and I found out at 3 weeks, 6 days). I know some people can't wait to share the new, but I want to hold off for as long as possible.

I told my husband first. I took a regular pregnancy test when I realized I was late for my period, but I didn't really expect it to be positive!! When it was, I wanted to go buy a digital to confirm but didn't want to run down the street to the store without telling my husband first, so I spilled the beans.
A few hours later, we called my parents and his parents.

Husband, then our moms. A few days later, we told siblings, dads, and close friends. After the blood positive, we told our grandparents. Grandparents have let it leak some more, but we already told everyone who needed to hear it from us.

I told my sister before my husband. I wasn't supposed to test til after AF was due, but I had some cramps (which I never get before AF) and really sore boobs, so I had to just test to "stop thinking I was pregnant." I was planning on hiding the negative test at the bottom of the trashcan. I waited for him to leave to walk the dog, took a test, saw pregnant pop up immediately, freaked out and called my sister. Then sent the picture of the test to Livsmama and winniewolf and planned a little surprise for when DH got home 20 minutes later

My DH, I yelled at him to come into the bathroom to confirm he saw a line too (I saw one 2 days earlier that he did not) and he's like ummmmm yes I see it too!! And then one of my best friends showed up because we were heading out of town for the night, and I told her! We stopped and picked up another box of test to try out on the way!

Hubs was first (at 4 weeks and some change)!
I told my dad and then my mom at 8 weeks - I wanted to tell them together, but my mom was at a social function. My dad didn't want to get in trouble for *holding out* on my mom,, so he asked me to call her on her cell phone. I did, and she had me on speaker, so the whole room errupted in cheers when I told her. I'm kinda glad, cus that made it a little more special for her, too. DH also told his parents the same day.

@JessieJo17: Me too! I totally wanted confirmation from DH that there really was a line, and that I wasn't hallucinating.

Don't tell DH but he wasn't the first! I found out before work and just went along in a daze all day. I happen to have lunch with a friend and she guessed why I was acting weird.

My husband as soon as he got out of the shower... felt like the longest shower ever! Then the next morning I called my SIL on the way to work- she had been so supportive during our long TTC time.
We waited about 2 weeks until all of our parents were in town for brunch (torture trying not to spill the beans over the phone).

Our dog, DH wasn't home and that is something to share in person.
