It's really hard not telling everyone, cause I'm busting at the seams too wanting to tell everyone.

But I only have a couple more weeks and I'll be in the 2nd trimester, and then we'll start telling people

I told my mom & sister right away and waited for my DF to get home from work to tell him. But we both told everyone very shortly after. We were bursting at the seams!!

We haven't even told our parents!

Just feel more comfortable waiting until the 2nd trimester. Which is only 4 weeks away!!

Monatx, praying for you that this one turns ok.
I'm due 9/12. I told my mom and siblings right away, I didn't had to take a test to know I was prego. I asked my BF to tell his mom too, we will share the news with extended relatives and friends when I start showing (2nd trimester, hopefully). I used to decline alcoholic drinks from time to time, so no need to lie and so far nobody is suspicious.

We haven't really told anyone yet. Waiting until we hit the 3 month mark. I'm due Sept 4th.

It's all personal preference. I just don't want to tell everyone and then something go horribly wrong (heaven forbid)

If not drinking I just say I'm on antibiotics or not feeling well! Old trick but it's about the only one that you can use LOL

I found out before new years so when i went to my brothers of course he was wondering why i wasn't drinking and asked.  I have a problem when asked straight up about something, only smiled at him.  So most of my family know but my father and my hubbies mom know's but not his brother.  Oh and my kids know of course as they are teenagers +.

I told my mum right away. I called her as soon as I did the test because DF was in meetings at work all day so I didn't want to call and disturb him - plus wanted to see his face when I told him. He told his mum later that night. Apart from that no one else knows (apart from all you ladies) I'm going to wait till I've had my first pre natal appointment to tell my dad and brothers and then everyone else will find out just after our 12 weeks scan :)
