Hi. We are contemplating if we should tell or not tell. It's a strange situation for us, as my DP and I have been together for 8 months. But we've known each other for 8 years. I have 4 boys, clearly none which belong to DP, and this is his first. So, knowing his mother, we aren't sure how she'll take it. It'll be her first grand child, and we should tell her before we tell anyone. But on one hand I think, who cares, just tell her, but the other hand says, do you really want a lecture today? So I don't want to hide it, but timing is very off, as it wasn't planned, and we are still getting used to the idea ourselves.

I have never hidden a pregnancy until 12 weeks, and this will be my 13th pregnancy. I think the more support you have, is do much better than dealing alone, with a keeper or a miscarriage. I am glad for all the support I've had, and will continue to share my happiness and sadness, we just have to find the right time to tell MIL....I know she'll get used to the idea, it may just take some time.
