[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hi everyone, it's November Interloper 1 here (Critter). It's been great to hear everyone's updates, especially as people are finding out about the gender. LJ, I'm really sorry to hear about your testing woes, I can imagine how nerve wracking and frustrating that is. Hang in there and do whatever you need to do to take care of yourself right now. Turkey, sorry to hear about your scare, too! Testing is definitely a blessing and a curse. And tricky waters to navigate since there is such an information gap between provider and patient.

I posted the following in the November thread, but wanted to post it here too, since you're all so wonderfully responsive, supportive, and full of good advice. Any thoughts would be much appreciated!

We had the first trimester screen today, and everything looked good- the baby was moving all over the place, and I'll be 13 weeks tomorrow! We're thinking it's probably time to start thinking about telling people, but my husband and I are both pretty private people, and thinking about sharing the news is definitely giving me anxiety! I'm hoping other people can share when they've told and what they've done, and if they have any suggestions? We don't want to make a big deal about it, but we'll have to let the cat out of the bag sooner or later! We haven't told family or anyone, so it seems really daunting right now, but I'm not sure why or what I'm afraid of. Thanks everyone! [/quote]

Hi Critter! Plum here. We told our family from the very start (IVF), our core group of friends the end of Week 13 (close to 14 weeks), and I told work at 15 weeks. Not planning to make a FB post about it but I may send an email out to a more extended group of friends after my 20 week scan. We were also super, super nervous about telling -- both because "announcing" feels odd, and because we are superstitious. I don't think there is any rush if you don't want to tell -- you can always wait until 20 weeks when you have a pretty good sense that everything is totally fine. :)[/quote]
