    I think we will keep it hush hush. DP plans on taking his leave starting next monday so i might just put up a post that we are keeping to ourselves and will announce when bubby is born until then we want some privacy. I said id like to have a shower and DD is to be the first to meet him then my mum as she is babysitting then everyone else.

    We didn't tell anyone the first time. My mum almost busted me though. I was supposed to be at work but instead was in hospital being induced due to PE. Mum rang the office looking for me, and they knew I was in hospital for tests but nothing else. Mum texted DH wondering what was happening so he told a fib. Got a good fright later on when i told her the baby was here.

    Second time we only told parents who were looking after DS1.

    A bit different as I had a c/s but we only told immediate family I was booked for following say and I kinda of regret it now as my HB family started telling everyone they knew and about 5pm that night all our friends new we would be havin bub the next day. It really ****ed me off cuz we wouldn't be able to do the whole surprise! Baby is here kinda thing.
    (also annoyed me cuz the same thing happened when we were about to tell everyone we were pregnant - it somehow got out to everyone before we had told others outside our family!) it kinda steals a little bit of the excitement for u and ur hubby.

    If I could next time I would only tell my family cuz I know they can keep a secret but don't think HB would be happy with that!!
