My flatmate who i bumped into coming out of the bathroom with pee stick in hand. Then my other flatmate because the first flatmate yelled. Then the third flatmate because i couldnt leave him out. All of them are boys in their early 20's poor things. They made me a bacon sandwhich. Baby was unplanned and unexpected. I was staring at the TV in shock and they came in with bacon. What legends. Then babys dad. ]]> Sun, 28 Aug 2011 08:13:46 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40271&PID=1380938&title=first-people-to-know-you-were-expecting#1380938 <![CDATA[First people to know you were expecting : For DD1 DP, and then Mum/Dad/Sis,...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40271&PID=1380207&title=first-people-to-know-you-were-expecting#1380207 Author: Kalimirella

For DD1
DP, and then Mum/Dad/Sis, MIL/FIL when we went to visit them a couple of weeks later.
Everyone else after 13 weeks, she was an unexpected baby.

For DD2
DP, then MIL/FIL (they live with us) and BIL/SIL (who also live with us) then my Mum and my Sis and Dad. They all knew we were trying for a second anyways.

Everyone else I waited till I had an 8 week scan then did a general announcement on Facebook at 12 weeks.]]> Thu, 25 Aug 2011 18:47:28 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40271&PID=1380207&title=first-people-to-know-you-were-expecting#1380207 <![CDATA[First people to know you were expecting : DS it was DH and then a girl I...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40271&PID=1380170&title=first-people-to-know-you-were-expecting#1380170 Author: BessieBear

DS1 was the babys father, then my sister via phone.

DD was a close friend who'd been TTC and found out she was preg the month before (actually.. would have been Charting girls on Treasures cos I was in shock after saying I wasn't going to bother testing since we'd been told less than 2 months earlier we needed IVF!) just cos I had to ring someone and say it out loud... my bestie at the time wouldnt answer her bloody phone! Then I showed DD's godmother (in waiting at the time, we'd agreed she would be godmother if and when I finally got preg with a keeper) THEN I sent DP a text in shock... needed someone to see the lines before I believed it was real!

DS2 was TheKelly (after testing with what may or may not have been an uber-faint test at her house, symptoms screamed I was preg though!) along with charting ladies on here, then my bestie (we now have toddlers 2 weeks apart, and babies 5 weeks apart cos she got preg the next month lol!) then godmother-to-be... then 2 days later I told DP (had to wait til there was more than just faint lines to show him lol).]]> Wed, 24 Aug 2011 15:02:38 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40271&PID=1379682&title=first-people-to-know-you-were-expecting#1379682 <![CDATA[First people to know you were expecting : DH was first for all of them Followed...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40271&PID=1379648&title=first-people-to-know-you-were-expecting#1379648 Author: EmDee
