Who did you tell??

So a friend of mine's wife is pregnant with twins.. however its still really early (before 3 months) and he just told a bunch of friends the other night.... I hear about how most people wait to tell everyone.. so I thought that was kind of odd... so now I'm wondering... who did you tell before the "3 month mark"?

Re: Who did you tell??

When my bloodwork confirmed it, I told whoever I felt close too..friends, family...we were so so happy we felt why wait?? If something had happened with the pregnancy, they would have known anyway-that was my reasoning. But i can understand waiting as well..

Re: Who did you tell??

We told our parents at 5 1/2 weeks.

We told our immediate families at 10 weeks.

And the majority of friends and the rest of the family at 12 weeks.

Re: Who did you tell??

We told immediate fam after the sono and the baby looked incredible compared to last time (greast HB)...we were very explicit about keeping it quiet b/c of the m/c at 8 weeks.

They're not keeping a secret though Chat Icon I'm getting random calls from family who have never called before fishing for info.

Re: Who did you tell??

We told our immediate families, plus grandparents & some close aunts/uncles/cousins at Christmas when I was about 9 weeks. I did not tell my youngest 2 brothers (big mouths!!) until 3 months. We didn't tell any friends until 3 months. I felt a bit superstitious, I guess. We were very very excited, but I felt better waiting.
