I told my parents and brothers (had to tell my mum since she was going to be there, and the boys because they would wonder where Mum went ) but that was it. I shared on BB, but no huge announcement kind of thing. No-one else had any idea. I think I even updated my Facebook a couple times on the day to throw people off haha
----------------------------------
So, it has come to this.
I'm trying to think up a good fib! I kind of regret sharing so much on FB.. Maybe i'll give the wrong date!
For now we will only have my mum know as shes babysitting DD for us.
Good idea about updating on FB, if i get DP to write a few random things it will throw people off! I'm already getting messages asking me if ive popped because im quiet for a few hours!
I had an induction with my first birth and told family & friends...big regret!!
With my second birth, only my parents knew we were in 'real' labour (no induction)-and that was because they were looking after DD during the birth. NOBODY, including my parents knew he had been born until 30mins post-delivery. It was important for me to have MY baby to MYSELF during that time.
I had a very disappointing birth first time around, with a traumatic recovery period. Having all those people in my face added to that. I was adament not to let it happen again.
If I EVER have the chance to birth again, it would be at home, with just my DP, DD, DS & MW.
