My partner knew immediately he was sitting by my side when I found out.

We had loads of epu scans I was 5week - 8weeks but had first "big scan" @12weeks

we told nobody until 12weeks (safe zone) ...
Told my family first... then his.

(We live together years and have a daughter so everyone was happy - except one person! ) :)

Told my mum at 6 weeks after confirming it with the doctors. Then everyone else in the family about 1 - 2 weeks later.

I live with my great grandmother and she is like my best friend. I told her right after I took the positive test. I was way too excited I couldn't wait.
