Dd1 we let people know after we were all reunited in my room. Everyone is interstate so no chance of visitors messages were sent about 9pm and emails sent the following day.

With DD2 DH rang dad as soon as we were back in our room which was roughly 30an hour after she was born. Dd was born at 8pm. We had warned everyone we wouldn't tell them until DD1 had met her new sibling. So dad brought her straight in and then when bub was taken to be weighed, I rang grandparents and DH rang his parents. I didn't tell friends until the next day because it was almost 11pm. In hindsight I should have text my close friend here to let her know because she had know I was going in an how scared I was and consequently she didn't get much sleep due to fearing something had gone wrong. But I sent her a message at around 730am and sent messages to everyone else after that.
