Anyone else in early PG and haven't told family??
We usually don't tell anyone we're PG til we're 12 weeks (b/c of m/c history), but I still usually tell my mom and sister as soon as I get a bfp. Well this time I haven't told anyone except my best friend...months ago my mom found my ovulation sticks when she was babysitting and I could tell by her voice she wasn't happy we want(ed) another child (she is worried about one of our sons who is special needs not getting enough attention, believe me he gets the MOST attention!)...my mom has always been supportive in the past until now, so anyway I'm not telling her yet. Dh's parents, we never tell them until 12 weeks because they were only happy about DS1 and then with our last 2 they couldn't even force a smile (they actually said "is this a joke?").
It sucks feeling like no one is going to be happy for you. I feel like the saving grace will be if it's a girl dh's parents will change their tune (they have 4 grandsons and always made it clear they really wanted a granddaughter)...my mom doesn't care about gender (she has a granddaughter, my bro's kid, and anyway she sort of favors boys). Just had a long convo with my sister (who I'm close to) and just couldn't bring myself to tell her- she is normally one of the first to know, feeling really guilty. :( I just have so much going on right now and can't deal.

We don't tell anyone until we just can't hide it any longer. Our family and friends are so against us having anymore children, in fact having children in general because it's been horrible each and every time, and once we tell people life is hell!! They're always so disgusted and we're looked down on even more than usual!! It's horrible. It actually makes me physically sick when I know it's time to actually tell people. With DS6 I was over 6mths and even then I txt my parents to tell them (and they live 5mins away).
The only person who knows is DS2 because he found out yesterday. He had his suspicions but he had my phone yesterday and saw a pregnancy app I have which when opened says "welcome Sam..you are weeks/days pregnant". He walked in my room and said "soooo....you're 5 weeks and 3 days pregnant" 😜
