My husband is a blabber mouth.

We are keeping my pregnancy a secret until we have reached a "safe point" and obviously that is very hard because we are both so excited.

Anyway, we went to dinner with my brother in law and his fiancé. She ordered a margarita, and I ordered a water. At this point no one has really questioned why.

When she gets her margarita, she takes a drink and says "this is so good! You should try some!" Catching me off guard, I choked on my water and came up with something like "oh, no thanks... I...." And before I could finish, they both looked at me with a glare as if to say they are catching on to something.

And then my husband blurts out "she's pregnant!!!!"

I was like wtf dude, we discussed prior to dinner to play it cool if they said anything hahah!

Everyone knows we have been trying for a while now. He totally is not allowed around anyone else until we know its safe to tell people.

My husband told his entire family who told the entire world by the time I was 7 weeks. Good luck  

yeah.....my SO posted my effing pee stick on facebook!!

that whole "safe point" is a bunch of crap. Something can happen at any time and you might as well have been honest with people instead of keeping it a secret.

Actually, I would rather not have to explain to people that I miscarried, the less people know, the less I have to tell people.

Quoting Devil Duckie:" that whole "safe point" is a bunch of crap. Something can happen at any time and you might as well have been honest with people instead of keeping it a secret. "

I do agree with this to a point. I think telling a few close relatives or friends, so that if something DID happen, you'd have a wonderful support system around you. Plus, if nothing is going wrong, you have a cheering section for every week you get through. I know for me, every week is an accomplishment and worth celebrating.

Have you been through multiples losses?

Just be happy he's happy, some men don't care or walk away! Congrats and good luck

my husband told his family the night we found out lol

so then i had to tell my mum as if she knew they knew and she didnt it would hurt her

i didnt tell anyone else till 12 weeks as i didnt want to go through the whole telling people if anything went wrong again , it was horrible the first time

Sure, however the chances of something going wrong are MUCH higher in the first trimester, and the less people who know before the safe point, the less people she has to tell she had a miscarriage, heaven forbid she had one.

I miscarried in my second trimester. There's no safe point IMO.

We didn't tell anyone until our second trimester with my daughter. I had suffered a miscarriage 3 months before, and also didn't want to go through the same thing with people again!

I hope everything goes great with this pregnancy. But I'm only 4 weeks and it is way too early to tell. Especially since my last pregnancy was ectopic.

Even if, its nobody else's business. I dont think its dishonest not to tell them. And having been through multiple losses myself, I wont be announcing til second trimester next time, I dont want to have to tell everyone and their brother about my loss

I totally understand where your coming from I miscarried last time and everyone knew. .. fb included. .. it was devastating and then telling people was even worse! good luck mama I'm in the same boat!

I can definitely relate to this.....pretty much everyone knows now thanks to my husband haha, and I am only 4 weeks! Our pregnancy was a surprise, but we had still talked about keeping it a secret until close to 12 weeks when that day eventually did come. I am so glad he is so excited about it, but it makes me a little uncomfortable that everyone knows so early. We recently got married...and it made it harder to keep it a secret. How was I going to explain not drinking for my bridal shower, bachelorette party, and at my own wedding?! Ah!
