Gossipy Goose

So my husband and I had decided to wait to tell the family about our pregnancy until about 20 weeks. I told my sister and he told his cousin. And his cousins wife. And his uncle. And his uncles girlfriend. And all his friends at work. And his friends around our hometown. Pretty much did everything besides announce it on Facebook. Now I feel kind of cheated out of being able to formally announce it. :( he said its not a big deal because it's our third baby.

Lol yeah. My husband obviously has a problem keepin his mouth from runnin! Lol even our 6 year old, who is the Mouth of the South, has kept quiet about it! Lol she has been marking the weeks on the calendar until she can tell her friends at school! Haha. And it's not like I don't want to tell people just when I'm ready and have had time to adjust to being pregnant so soon after second baby amongst other reasons. And so I was like well I guess I'll call my mom and he was like no cuz she will tell ur dad! *rolling my eyes*

That's great that he is so excited but I can also understand where you are coming from. My hubby and I had originally decided to wait until 12 weeks to tell anyone but his dad had a heart attack when we were 5 weeks and my hubby asked if he could tell his dad... so we did tell his family and said they couldn't tell anyone. And than at 12 weeks we told my family and than the rest of our friends and fam. I would have been upset had my husband not asked me first to go ahead and tell people...he may be excited but its also your baby too and I'm sure you are just as excited to tell people.

I found out i was pregnant 11 days after conception and my sister was living with us at the time i wanted you wait until after 12 weeks too announce it but she told my other sister and a week later on my bday my younger sister the 2nd one to know posted a message on my Facebook announcing it to everyone! I was like what the heck! I have a history of miscarriages and was afraid of it happening again so didn't want everyone to know but she went ahead and told everyone! Now I'm 17 weeks and every thing is alright but still!

[Ashdub07]

Well he's my husband not my bf so when we make an agreement I expect it to be upheld. Idk I feel like he is obligated to be excited but could at least warn me that hes told everyone and their pets so that when I get bombarded at the grocery store I will be expecting it. And I'm not ready for all the "was it planned? You just had a baby!" that his family is harping at me. It's still very early in my pregnancy and I don't want to deal with everyone else yet.

I agree with Annie. I'm 28 weeks and the only person my Bf has told is his brother and he has no intention of telling his family any time soon. Be glad he's excited to tell people.

I can see why you're mad, but gee, at least he's excited about it.  One MedHelp poster wrote in that her boyfriend had not even told his parents she was pregnant and she was three months along.  She felt like he was ashamed of her.

[Ashdub07]

Yeah Shelly they are all asking me when we are going to put it on Facebook and stuff like that. It's really making me mad. I thought women were supposed to be the gossipy ones!

My boyfriend did the same thing and I didn't real mind at first until they started pressuring me to tell my family and then threatened to post on Facebook when I specifically asked not to until I told my family! Pissed me off.
