Who didn't tell their family/friends?

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!!

I didn't tell anyone besides hubby and my doula. Once I had given birth we clearly said we only want specific people to come but somehow the whole world ended up arriving anyway, at least we got to make our own announcement and have a slight few moments of peace as a brand new family. Next time we aren't telling anyone and wont tell anyone for a few hours after
