When did you first tell your inlaws you were pregnant?

 With my first child my husband told his mother first and then my family. For this pregnancy My husband was anxious to tell his mother and brother but I wanted my parents to know first so I finally told my mom when I was 4 months and only after she asked if I was pregnant.

My family knew right away with this being my first pregnancy: the sickness was written all over me. My boyfriend told his mother once I was 3 1/2 months; but what he failed to realize is that she cornered me around 8 weeks into my pregnancy told me I was pregnant. So i believe it all depends on the relationship with the in laws to determine right timing.

It really depends o the kind of relationship that you have between the in laws. I told my parents and in laws same day and they were so excited! Also for health and emotional reasons its good to have a good communcation with both parents.It will make the difference, it helps to have a open and very supportive pregnancy.

we told both of our families on the exact same time through an internet conference via skype. we told them just after we made the home pregnancy test and it was positive. I was just 3 weeks. the both families were so excited and happy for hearing that as he (or she) will be the first grandbaby for both families.

We told his parents first. He's closer to them and they're more laid back than my parents. Mine are kinda like jvstella's in-laws. I mean, we're married but still, we're young.

I am just really worried about what can go wrong.  I called and told my mom right when we got a positive test but mostly to help me figure out what to do about health insurance and to calm me down from my paranoia.  But my parents knowing first didn't seem like a big deal.  This will be grandchild number 20 for them, so they have the grandparent thing down.  I also told my sister because she just had her third last year and her support really helped me.

My in-laws really worried me because my father-in-law tends to make a big deal out of things and I was worried that it would turn into a huge deal and something would go wrong.  But we were having a big birthday party for my father-in-law's 50th and my husbands sister announced they were having baby number two and it just seemed like the right time.  It was really great because he really was a lot more mellow about it than I thought he would be and having my sister-in-law announce hers first really took the pressure off.

After that I called all my siblings, except one sister who was out of the country (she found out later via e-mail), and told them our good news. 

How you announce it though is different for everyone.  I talk to my mom at least 4 times a week so it was something I couldn't avoid telling her!  But if I could have waited, I wouldn't have told anyone until we knew what we were having and make it a big surprise we are having a ____! But we live too close to avoid see each other. :)
