Here is a story about how celebrities deny pregnancy rumors only to confirm them later on. Some of them say they wanted to try to wait for the first trimester to be over before telling the world.

Did you wait for the first trimester to be over before telling everyone? Or did you tell right away? How did you break the news?

I waited the three months. But my DH and I decided we'd have to tell one person each right away or else we'd burst. LOL. We chose our best friends. But our families didn't find out until we were 3 months along.

I announced my pregnancy in a poem to my grandmother at her big 90th bash in front of my whole family. For my in-laws, I held up a sign at the airport when we went to pick my MIL up that said, "Hello Grammy, I'm in here" with an arrow pointing to my stomach.

I told as soon as I got the positive test from the doctor. I was almost 6 weeks. I just couldn't keep it a secret any longer. I'd already know for a week or 2 before I went to the doctor, because I'd had 2 positive tests at home. we didn't do anything special to tell our family, we just called them up and told them.

I know a lot of people wait till the first trimester is over, because of the risk of miscarriage, but I really didn't see a reason to wait. If I were to have a miscarriage I wouldn't want to pretend like it had never happened. I'm sure my friends and family would notice that something was up with me and ask what's wrong. To me it would be strange to tell them that I'd had a miscarriage, when they never knew I'd been pregnant.

We told pretty much immediately. I wanted to wait until the first doctor's appt, but my DH was just dying to tell the world.

With Anabelle, we took a home test early one Sunday morning, spent that day in a fog enjoying our secret, but we had spilled the beans to our moms by dinnertime that night. Then they played the phone game and told everyone else within five minutes.

With Amelia, we found out again in the early morning (home test). We planned on waiting til the weekend and having Anabelle call and tell our moms. But again, we couldn't wait. We called everyone that night.

So, we've never been able to keep the secret more than a few hours past the positive home test.

We took a home test on a Sunday afternoon one week before Mother's day. We wanted to wait until Mothers day to announce it to our families but we couldn't wait. So we told on Monday night.

We waited until I was almost 5 months pregnant before telling anyone. It was realllly a shock for us and we had to let it sink in with us first. We told my mil first because I have really peculiar inlaws and we weren't sure how they'd take the news (not very well either). Telling my parents was hard for me, I felt like a teenager lol. It was so awkward for me. Weird how your parents can make you feel like a child.

Heck I called my mom as soon as I found out my test was positive! LOL I was very excited!
