when did you tell parents

[curbsideprophet]

We started telling family around 12 weeks with both pregnancies.

We went through 6.5 yrs of infertility and have always been completely open with family, friends, and basically whoever about it. Since everyone in our immediate family and close friends knew we were doing IVF, we told most right after we got our first beta back. I had tested 2 days prior and got my BFPs but we kept it in. We told a bunch more of DH''s family the day after our first u/s at 7wks able cause we were in town for SILs wedding.

We told my sister immediately, and my parents a week later, since we went to visit them. We told my husband's cousins around eight weeks, because we spent the weekend with them. I was really sick and there was no way to hide it. We go in for some tests this week, and assuming all goes well, will tell my in-laws this weekend.

I've also told a few close friends, all of whom knew what happened last time and were amazingly supportive. I don't relish un-telling people, should something go wrong, but if that happens again, I know I'll need their support.

We told my parents right away. I'd asked my mom, back when we started trying, whether shed rather hear right away and not be able to tell anyone for 2 months, or whether she'd rather wait to learn the news. She said she'd want to know right away so she could start praying right away for a healthy baby.

DHs parents, we told the day before making the public announcement at 13 weeks.

We told my parents right away because we hang out with them all the time and I always drink my dad's beer (he homebrews). They would have noticed for sure. We'll probably tell my in-laws at around 12 weeks because they live far away and don't need to know until then.

Update, we told both parents last night so 9 weeks and 2 days!

My dad lives near us so he knew pretty early when he was really concerned about why I was so sick.

We told my ILs around 8 weeks. I would have waited longer, but we were there in person and won't see them again until October. So, thinking that they can't keep a secret, we told my brother and grandparents around the same time to make sure they heard it from us and not anyone else.
