Hey-tri hoping.....but Thought I'd share. My work colleagues were the ones who told me, I wasn't brave enough to look at the results. Mainly cause I didn't expect it for a second. Then when I realised I was pregnant (4+5) and due to some medical issues I decided to tell my brother then my mum. I needed their support. I had 3 scans and started to tell my very best friends at 8 weeks-the 3 weeks from finding out felt like a life time and I felt like I was lying. However everyone was really pleased. I waited until my dating scan at 13+2 to tell the rest of the world via Facebook and texting people. I was 12 weeks around April fools day and was desperate to put something on fb then but as we hadnt had the dating scan. Decided not to jinx it! Lol....would have been funny though.
As for being nervous about telling people, I still get it. The other day I met my ex's auntie and she didn't know, felt myself getting all sweaty and stumbling my words! Have no idea why as I'm now 17 weeks and showing! She must have just thought I was fat! The hardest person to tell was my Daddy. I thought I was going to throw up, however he was just so pleased and excited for us. Looking back I have no idea why I felt like this telling people especially as we are both so happy and excited! Suppose it's only natural.
Don't worry about when you tell people, do it when it's right for you. The love and support is always really nice in the early days-keeps you going! Xx
