Need a little advice here...

So, like I just mentioned, we're gonna tell my fam this weekend about being pregnant, but I was going to hold off on telling my brother and his wife until they come in from Florida the following weekend. Should I just tell them on Easter as well (I'll call him for the holiday) or should I wait? They are also TTC and I don't want her to think we were holding off on telling them for any reason other than wanting to tell them in person.

Re: Need a little advice here...

  • It's all up to you but I would probably hold off on telling them till you see them. If I get my BFP, it's gonna be just DH and my mom for the first three months. Oh and the nesties ofcourse. Everyone else will wait for the 3 month announcement. But that's just me. Do what feels right to you.

  • I would wait to tell them in person, it's much more fun than telling on the phone.

  • Generally, I would say that if it's only going to be one more week then you should wait and tell them in person.

    'BUT if by any chance they've been trying for a long time, you might want to consider telling them over the phone so that if your SIL needs time to deal with it, she'll be able to do so in privacy.  If they just started trying (your bro just got married, right?) then forget everything I said.

  • I agree with Helene: unless they've been trying for a while, I'd wait the extra week and tell them in person. Just make sure your parents won't tell him before you get to (my MIL felt the need to tell my GMIL literally less than 12 hours after we shared the news with the rest of our families, I guess I'm still a little annoyed)
  • My bro only got married back in Nov., so they've been trying less than us (we started in Oct.). I hope my mom can keep her big mouth shut for a whole week tho'. =/
