spinoff to those in hiding...

when did you come out in real life? to extended family, friends, co-workers, etc? did you make a public facebook announcement or just tell a few people and let word of mouth take care of the rest?

Re: spinoff to those in hiding...

Told my parents and DH's parents right away. Told some family at 10 weeks, just because it was Thanksgiving and everyone was there and I was huge from the progesterone injections.

Told the rest of the family over Christmas at 14 weeks, and told friends as I saw them over the next month or so.

Finally came out on facebook after the Level II (wasn't sure about doing that, but also didn't want to send a mass email to all the friends I don't talk to on a regular basis).

I was really nervous though, so I know that my time frame is probably a little wacky.

told parents and siblings at 6w

told close friends between 7w-11w (wanted to tell as many people as we could in person)

told work at 8w (was feeling sick and coming in late alot didn't want my immediate co-workers to think i was a slacker)

told grandparents around 8w (wanted to tell in person)

basically just told people as we saw them.

didn't come out on facebook until like week 21-22 or something like that...just because no real reason

I'm going to be 5w tomorrow and our parents know and a few friends. No extended family or big family friends yet I plan to tell them (if I can hold out) around 12 weeks, but I might tell them sooner. I don't want to tell to many people until we see a heartbeat next week.

As for work, I plan to wait as long as possible to tell them hoping for 12 weeks +
