[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is my first pregnancy and will be my parents' first grandchild. I want to share the baby news with them as I think they'll be very excited, but the idea of having to "untell" them if something goes wrong fills me with dread. I'm 5 weeks now so am very early on. I am considering waiting until 12 weeks to tell them, but [b]my in-laws will be visiting us before then and I don't think we'll be able to hide it from them. [/b]I do know with almost certainty that my mum would be a little hurt if my in-laws knew weeks before she did. People here may say that I shouldn't prioritize her feelings but I also want her to be among the first to know for my own reasons.

Is there an earlier milestone that gave you relative confidence for sharing news with family? Do most people just tell people in their inner circle immediately? [/quote]

Why not?

We shared at 12 weeks.[/quote]

OP here. Because we live in a small two bedroom/1 bathroom apartment and they're staying with us. God willing I'll be less nauseous by week 9 (when they are visiting) but if I'm not I'm not sure how else I'll explain the constant near vomiting. Keeping it from my MIL for a week while she stays at our apartment feels more like lying than just not sharing the news with her when she's 1000 miles away does. [/quote]
They need to stop staying with you (!) this is not good [/quote]
