Besides your SO?
The first person I told (even before DH) was Lawbee. I wanted her to confirm the second line. Then after I told DH I told my mom and MIL.
-
-my sister ... She was so excited!!
-
The in laws!
-
DH, then Hellobee. Then my parents the next time we saw them at about 5.5 weeks. Told the I laws around 8 weeks. Waited to tell most others until after NT scan at 12.5 weeks.
-
my mom.
-
@Leialou: You!!
-
My sis, then HB, then DH...
-
When I found out, I immediately told DH, then my sister and HB. A few weeks later my mom and 2 coworkers, then around 8 weeks my best friend. We are telling out parents and a few more friends now at 13.5 weeks.
-
My parents, because we were living with them at the time. Then the in-laws.
-
DH and LO, then @oliviaoblivia: @CaliforniaDreams: and the ladies in our miscarriage support FB group. I told my family a few days later but we haven't told DH's family yet. We hope to at the weekend, if we see a heartbeat on Friday.
-
My sister was first both times. Then at about 10ish weeks I told my work. Then at 20 weeks I told the fam.
-
Dh, brother, bffs, parents, hb, then publicly after first trimester!
-
My mom. I called her in a panic.
-
With LO #1, I told my friend as soon as I tested because I was messaging her at the time. Then my mum, I rung her and burst into tears (LO was a surprise) and then dh and the inlaws that night.
LO#2, only told dh, my mum is coming over in about half an hour and will tell her then (lo is wearing a big sister tshirt for when she shows up) I'll tell me BFF tomorrow and then everyone else at the end of the first trimester.
-
DH's parents and my parents
-
Besides HB and DH ...
My BFF and her boyfriend when they came to visit at 8 weeks. Then my parents and ILs all together at 10 weeks.
-
@Leialou: Our close friends. They were moving out of state the next week, and we wanted to tell them in person. It was awesome.
-
DH told his mom and sister first.
I told my bff first. -
First pregnancy was my parents, sister and her boyfriend (we were at brunch together). This time it was my mom on her own since we we heading out on a road trip. Will be telling my dad and sister in a couple of days!
-
I had a negative HPT wednesday and an unrelated blood test, where my doctor threw in a pregnancy test for good measure - found out friday my bHCG was 7 (!) so very very low but still positive - had to have a repeat bHCG monday, then wait til Tuesday to get the results, which was 144 so clearly I was pregnant!! Over the weekend I didn't tell anyone - Monday I told my best friend, and once it was confirmed I told my parents and my MIL.
-
My good friend!
-
I told my best friend the before even DH the first time! The second time I told DH first.
-
LO#1 my DH, then we called in-laws, my parents and our brothers and sisters. We told close friends and work because of HG before the end of the first tri.
LO#2 I tested at work (thinking I wasn't pregnant - just got a wondfo order and poased for fun) and almost told my work bff before I told my DH! so DH, then bff, then we called our families again.
-
Either my old college roommate or a friend who was organizing volleyball league team that I needed to bow out of due to horrible nausea and vomiting.
For number 2 it was a close friend of mine who was pregnant the same time as me the first go around.
-
She's not on here anymore but I told MrsMcD before telling DH! And told one more IRL IF friend too.
-
With DD I told my roommate first.
With DS my best friend took a test with me so she found out first but SO found out second. -
Husband and best friend immediately. Sister a few weeks later, in person. Then parents and MIL at 11.5 weeks. (I wanted to wait after the NT scan, but we were already getting together for my dad's birthday so we just gave him a framed ultrasound photo.) Then after the NT scan I told my company's execs and started to tell my closest friends. We didn't spread the word more widely until around 20 weeks.
-
The first time, husband then mom a few weeks later. The second time, mom then husband, same day.
-
My mom, pretty much right away.
-
DH and two friends that knew we were TTC all right away.
Told my Dean a few days later. My parents at 6w
-
My mom and sister, and DH's sister, mom, and dad. We told them together on Christmas Eve.
-
DH and my mom! Told other family and friends a few weeks later, and work at 14 weeks. No FB announcement until a few days after baby comes.
-
With DS #1, it was a co-worker I was close with. I got my BFP right before going in, couldn't tell DH until that night, and was going crazy!
With DS #2 I was testing early and the line was very faint, so I had my May 2013 mamas (WB group that converted to a FB group) look first and tell me if they saw it too.
-
My family and my best friend
-
I told my best friend before I even told DH! But only because the lines were still so faint that he would have said the tests were negative (I showed them to him later, once I had a good one, and yep, he claimed there was no line). Told HB right after DH! We're waiting to tell family this time.
-
I told my husband, then one of my close co workers the next day. I needed her with staying away from unsafe patients at work without everyone else noticing.
-
We were on vacation, staying at one of my best friend's houses. So after I told Hubs, I told her and her husband.
-
I called my best friend within minutes of taking the test and telling M. She asked me the due date and I had to look it up
