[quote=Anonymous]History of losses here- I had trouble telling people in person so I did try to casually slip it in with friends and told friends to spread the word because I couldn't. My VERY best friend learned through a text message because I thought I'd cry if I told her in person and I kept putting it off. I think she was upset, but best friends don't hold that against you and she rolled with it. We sent onesies to our parents in the mail and that made it easier to tell them long distance without having to do it in person. I did tell at 24 weeks with the first pregnancy, which was 6 months like OP's brother. I was barely showing and it was still so new. A LOT of people don't tell until 20 weeks after the anatomy scan, which is 5 months.

Facebook actually helped me the most. Once our parents, siblings and best friends finally knew I just posted on facebook and then it was out in the open. I just HATED telling people about the pregnancy, but loved being pregnant and loved the baby. I didn't mind people knowing about the pregnnacy, I just hated telling people. With the 2nd pregnancy I had trouble telling about the pregnancy again. [/quote]
