I'm now 6 1/2 weeks and DH and I have told my parents, my brothers & sister & SIL, few close friends & my work.... Will tell his side of the family at the end of april.... they will have their greek easter and they will all be together....

Hi Treetops... didn't realise you were here too....

I told with DD1 at about 4 weeks and DD2 before 4 weeks (10 days after conception). This time Im not even pregnant and people know we're going to try soon!
I have had some very close friends lose babys at birth which is just tragic, so like MIT I will tell people if we miscarry, so I have no problem telling them when Im pregnant.
ALso with DD2 we found out at the 20 week scan that she had some soft markers. So I was worried the whole pregnancy, and the theory of "you're safe after 12 weeks" did go out the window for me. Im not saying that to worry people, but I personally don't think there's an optimal time to tell people. It's whenever you feel comfortable.
I think also if you're prone to sickness, it's easier to tell people, and explain why you're soooo tired/sick! (if they haven't guessed)!!! xoxoxo
PS congratulations!!!!!!!!!

More here than there. Been a bit busy

I told my boss about my pregnancy yesterday. Initially DH wanted me to wait until 12w, but on Tuesday I went to lunch and never came back because I had to rush to the Womens and Childrens Hospital with bleeding. I'm happy he knows now, not just because of the follow-up I have next week, and the 11w and 12w appointments I have, but he has also offered to be supportive in case I'm sick/tired.

We told all our friends in an email the other day, straight after our 13 week ultrasound. It was great fun to get all the responses back and forth from friends. We spent half a day just responding to well wishes.
