who's told people?

[roseanimal]

who knows you are ttc?

I told my sister and one friend - that's it! well actually bigmouth hubby told both of them!

also, did you tell people straight away?

I kind f wish the friend didn't know caus I'm not that close to her and bet she's told loads of other people and I'd rather my close friends and family knew first

 

[Donna's here]

My mum, both my sisters and a very old friend of mine whose a midwife (who I keep moaning too) know, but my friends and all hubbys family no nothing.

 

[waterlilie]

I told my mum, sister and my 2 best mates

Hi Rose,

My Mum and Dad cause we are close and mum knows me to well!!!

Mick is a bit older than me so his parents are therefore kind of a bit old fashioned and I / we often get "anything yet?" I used to get upset but told them look if anything happens we will tell you so please dont add to the pressure!! They have backed off a bit since! They know we are ttc and told his mum about clinic app.

My sister lives in Herts so dont see here often but she knows when I'm down on the phone so no hiding it there!

My sister in law and I get on really well I think because my sis is not so close and I have supported her through breast cancer, an abusive marriage and a mole preg ( she is happily remarried, in remission fx forever and has had a baby when drs said she wouldnt!!)

Hard not to tell those who know you well but sometimes it is hard cause they often come out with the well meaning comments and you cant feel to angry because you know they love you.

And every one here but good thing for me as I can come on and say things that all the above dont need to hear if they did they would think I am mad!!!

I told my mum my auntie and my 2 best friedns in work ( well 2 of my 3 best friends cos the other one is a man and I think he'd be uncofitble with it). I think my nan knows as well even thgoth i ha've told her directly i've hinted at it. My husbands best friend and his wife also know.
I also acidentaly told a girl I work with because we where on a night out and she kept asking me why i hadnt had a baby yet and why didnt i want one, I kep trying to get rid of her but she was quite drunk and wouldnt shut up so in the end i told her but I think shes told other pepeol as another women in work asked how I was getting on with it the other week.

We went for over a year without telling anyone but then when I had to go to the hospital for my test etc we had to tell work ( we both work at same place) and I did not want my bosses to bump into either of our parents and say something by accident so we told our parents back in June. My dear MIL thought that it would be a good idea to tell my BIL ( have no idea why but I made sure she knew how p*ssed off and hurt she made me) so he knows

So thats my 2 bosses, both set of parents and BIL ( )

I have also told a friend after she had a m/c at 10 weeks just before christmas

I am please that we have told some people as now we can talk about it to other people other than you lovely ladies

 

[Liessa]

We've only started TTC this month and I haven't told anyone. I quite like the feeling of having this secret and how surprised everyone will be.

Also I would hate for work to find out, I don't think they're going to be too impressed!

 

[trixipaws]

not actually ttc yet but am waiting hopefully to start VERY soon, have told my friends and sister, but not colleagues (in case they try to dismiss me to get out of paying me maternity pay!) and not my parents (mum would go mad like i'm a 15-yr-old schoolgirl!)

 

[Lorna]

We have told my MIL and FIL, plus my Dr's. That's it, if i told my mum I would be constantly barraged with 'are you sure that's the right thing to do?' etc etc...

 

[roseanimal]

i think my mum would be the same. she thinks she's too young to be a granny - but if I get pregnant now I'll be almost 27 before I have it, it's not like I'm 15!!

she's told me a few times she's too young to be a granny (although not for about a year, since just after the wedding)
by the time she was my age I was 3 and my sister was 2 - she was also separated and had moved back to scotland.

I've been with hubby for 9 years next month so we're not exactly hurrying into it!!

 

[Rock-Angel]

we havent told any one as its none of their business, I only chose to come on here as I am looking for advice and like mninded people.
as for rl, ike said its our personal choice to be ttc, when we finally fall then yes we will tell people but only after the first scan (or the datiing scan) ay 12 weeks, till then we are keping our mouths zipped!

 

[Cori]

My parents, his parents, one of my auntys, two of our friends (who are a couple), my director, my supervisor, my Dr and my dentist. And they're all sworn to secrecy! I trust them all not to say anything.

 

[Mum_2besoon]

Only my mum but I'm sure she have told 2 of my auntys but not in too much detail. Hubbys family don't know when they ask we just say we will have a baby one day.

I definately won't fell comfortable telling work colleagues and friends, it will be too much pressure on us.

Tell her shes not too young to be a Granny, I was made a Granny last November and I'm only 33......it's fab!!!

 

[roseanimal]

I think it's more cause she had us so young and worries because of that!

 

[xxsammyxx]

Yep just about everyone, except work as i start a new job soon and i dont think it will go down very well!!!! I never told my last employers until i was 16 weeks gone and i never regret that decision

 

[MonkeyFeet]

We haven't told anyone and I don't intend to. If I get pregnant I also don't want to tell anyone until we're past the 12 week point (though if I'm very sick they may work it out) I just don't want all the pressure of people knowing!

 

[*vectra*]

i haven't told any one either so just me oh and GP know I'm so glad i found this place

 

[Waiting4amiracle]

My Mum and dad know i am ttc but thats because i have had quite a few
pregnancy losses so they know i am still determent to be a mum but i dont tell friends or any other part of
my family the least people know the better i think any way!!
cause if it takes a while to get pregnant i wont have people asking are you still trying
or saying my god its taking ages for them to get pregnant etc etc
