All of mine have been born at reasonable times (3pm, 10am, 6pm and midday) so we tend to call our parents straight away and let them tell the extended family. We then text friends.
If the next one comes in the middle of the night we wont tell anyone until at least 7am. I'm pretty polite and believe in letting people sleep - but maybe that's because I've not had a full nights sleep in over 6 years and I really respect sleep LOL
A friend of mine just had her second, around midday. I didn't get the text til 11.30am the next day. I thought that was odd - almost 24 hours! I'm going to ask her why she waited that long... And yes, I'm confident that I'm an A-list friend
All of mine were born before 10am -two at 5ish and one 9.30. We called immediate family straight away then waited a few hours to let friends know.
Funniest for my mum was DS2, she was at our house with the older two, had arrived around 4am and we left 4.30am, arrived hospital 4.45am, DS2 was born 5.20am. I rang her and I think she was expecting DH, saying "we're here, all good, keep you posted" and instead she got me going "shh, listen" and she heard the little newborn mewling and was like "is that a baby?" And then she started crying
DD was born at about 2pm, we told people about 3 hours later.....HUGE mistake we had a constant stream of people for the next 3 days. People turned up before I was even showered or out of the birth suite. Hun, I dont want to tell anyone for a few days this time!
