Quick WWYD

Hi we're going to a 1st bday party for friends that don't know yet we're expecting. There are 4-5 couples who we hang out with occasionally who will be there. I'm unmistakably sporting a baby blump. I don't want to steel anyone's thunder, so what should we so? Let the parents know before we arrive? I was just thinking about just not mentioning it unless specifically asked?? WWYD?

Update: I ended up wearing something to cover my blump so no one even said a thing. We'll spread the news to them this week. Thanks everyone! Pic below in thread.

I would wait until asked. People are hesitant to ask because they think you may be getting fat even though you are clearly pregnant...

Just wait till asked. If no one asks, let the baby shower mama know tomorrow to quell the thoughts and wonders.

ANd by baby shower I mean 1st birthday.

I wouldn't say anything yet. Since its a kid party you should be able to avoid it. They might be curious but prob won't ask!

I would wait until they ask, and I'd dress to hide the bump. Well, maybe not hide it, but I'd avoid tight garments for the festivities.

But take a bump pic for us!

I wouldn't announce and wait to be asked. If they haven't seen you for a while, they may think you may not have lost those last few pounds from H. I don't think they would ask because that would be awkward for them if you weren't pregnant.

I might say something in conversation, but I don't consider that stealing thunder at a birthday party. Maybe at a bridal shower or baby shower, but the focus tends to be all over the place at birthday parties and not on a specific adult. I think it would be weird if a friend looked obviously pregnant and didn't say anything.

and yes, we need more preggo pics of everyone!

I agree with everyone else, but it might depend on the kind of person who's throwing the party. Are they the high-maintenance type who would be offended if the attention veered away from their baby for a few minutes? If that's the case, I might give the folks a heads up.
