Thank you everyone for all your advice! Husband and I decided that we would wait 2 weeks until we told parents, just to let it sink in a bit with us, and then tell friends etc as and when we see them, after first scan.
Well, yesterday I was doing some work with a colleague in the morning. Quite a few members of staff are pregnant at the moment, and this particular colleague has just started IVF for her second baby. I got married a few months ago, and she just came out with "so, are you joining the baby club too then?" I said no, but was so shocked I went bright red and she didn't believe me, and kept asking until I had to say yes
H was a bit grumpy with me when I told him, and I felt really guilty for letting it slip! He then decided that he felt bad with another person knowing and not our families, so he then phoned his parents and told them. His dad is a obstetrician and said "it's a bit early" about us telling them! However I had forgotten that to me telling "family" means my parents, but in my husbands large family it also meant phoning 3 of his aunts before word got round and they got upset we hadn't told them personally
to be honest, I would have preferred not telling them until we tell friends later on, but then he would have preferred it if I hadn't told anyone!
I am seeing my mum later today so will tell her then, and will probably phone my Dad at around the same time (they are separated and don't want to offend them by telling one a lot before the other!)
All so stressful!
