Other than DH it was my parents. I took a test in the morning and they came over that night.... I was prepared and had an "I'm going to be a big sister" shirt for LO.

My husband than my BFF who showed up at our house 10 minutes later DH was out the door to get more test and I was a ball of nerves who was getting ready to leave on a weekend getaway!

Husband! He was sitting on the couch playing guitar and I came out and said "ummmm, is this a line?"

DH, because it was like 5AM. And I hadn't joined HB yet. After him I told my mom, the the POAS thread on WB, and later in the day my SIL.
It was funny because I actually spent the afternoon with my MIL...we went to some lame Christmas crafts fair (had such high hopes, but it was all junk). I was already really sensitive to smell and the smell of all the candles for sale was making my stomach turn. We weren't ready to share yet, so I was trying to cover it up...

DH!! He would have been pissed if I told anyone else first

I can imagine I would tell Hellobee first. I don't necessarily think I would wait for DH to be present before I POAS. think I want to tell him in some sort of super cute way so I will need some time to prepare something like that.

I mean, I get being excited, but I know my husband's feelings would be horribly hurt if I told anyone, especially an online forum, before telling him. He was the first to know, both times.
I mean, you didn't make a baby with HB, you made one with your husband/boyfriend/partner in life. I would hope y'all's relationships with your DH/BF/Partner were a higher priority than the relationship you have with an online forum....

First time, DH then my best friend. This time HB then DH. I wanted to do something cuter than handing DH a pee stick, plus the bees on the poas thread helped me with the crazies when I got a faint line and wasn't sure.

DH and then my mom guessed that night. I wasn't a HB member yet but I did lurk

@Pink Champagne: Please remember that everyone is different and we all have reasons for what we do. DH wasn't in the slightest bit bothered that I told HB first, and as I said, the only reason I did was because I wanted to tell him in a special way, but needed the bees to help me feel confident that I had a real positive before I got all excited and told him. It had nothing to do with who I had a better relationship with. I also told several friends before my mom the first time, because I had a very special way of telling her planned and she also didn't mind that she had to wait longer than some. Everyone is different.

DH, of course. The next day, I called one of my best friends who had told me really early on when she was pregnant...and before I could spill my news, she told me she's expecting her second! Our due dates are a week apart, it's awesome. I held off telling most other people until we were closer to the end of the first tri (including our parents, DH felt really strongly about being cautious).

He will probably know rightaway because I am always blabbing about "no baby, got my period," but if I can keep a secret I will mail him a baby item. He loves getting packages in the mail. Then I will post his reactiom in Gold.

DH. I tested on a Wednesday night without his knowledge to a faint positive. The next day, I tested at work on a FRER. I didn't officially test until Saturday with him still in bed. He had me figured out that I knew long before. My parents figured out the weekend I visited them before Christmas for a concert. We waited until April for the official announcement at 21 weeks.

Well, considering my husband was with me when I POAS, my husband.
eta: I can see where Pink Champagne is coming from. I would be seriously pissed if I found out my husband told an online forum something of importance before me!

DH. Luckily I had a onesie ready to go in a gift bag so as soon as I saw the I threw the stick in the bag and ran into the kitchen and shoved the bag into his hands.

DH was the first to know. He was also home when I took the pregnancy test. Hehe.

My brother for my first. DH was with me the second time!

Dh. I wouldn't test if he wasn't home bc I wanted him to know first, wanted to tell him in person, and knew I'd go crazy knowing and not being able to tell him! He asked me when I was going to start testing so he always knew when I'd get up super early and then spend 5 minutes in the bathroom.
After him I told hb, then the instructor at a cooking clas that week! I needed to know if some cheese was pasteurized and since his wife had recently had a baby he knew why I was asking.

DH, because I took the test at 7:00 in the morning before a doctor's appointment. After him, we told our parents.

I told my husband immediately. He was home at the time. Then I called my best friend and told her less than 2 hours later.

I either told the IF thread or Mrs. Bird first. I'm not sure! Then I told DH in person at lunch. He was fine with letting hellobee know first :). Though I was about to burst and almost called my mom, which wouldn't have been cool, lol.

@Torchwood: ditto. I told HB first cause I was in shock, then ran running around after work to gather a cute way to tell DH. He didnt care at all... Cause HB doesn't really count as telling people to us since no one IRL we know. At least I think... Haha

I told DH at 5:30 am after I took the test because I was so excited!! The first time, I waited until that night to tell him, but I can't remember if I told anyone else first...I don't think so.
