omg thanks - not sure what to do! really want to tell hubby but he's at work! How on earth do you keep it quiet for 3 months!! will not belive it fully until i get one of those digital ones - am completly flabbergasted!

What to do... Smile, whoop, run round the house doing a happy dance, sit on the sofa at gaze into space in a stunned way....:D

As for hubby, only you know if its OK to call him at work... otherwise, why not use the day to plan a surprise reveal to him for when he gets home? Maybe get/make a card for him "to daddy", give it to him when he gets in, and see how long it takes him to twig?

As for 3 months.. well, its up to you how long you leave it to tell folks. I was being sick within 6 weeks, so the people i saw often (parents, parents in law) i had to tell, as they would have twigged by my colour, and running off all the time. Work i had to tell at 8 weeks, just cos i was so ill, and needed some leniency!
Really, its a question of who would you feel comfortable to talk to about it if (god forbid) things DID go wrong, as they are the ones who can help support you, and therefore the ones who is doesnt matter if you tell early.

Enjoy the thrill!:D

It looks positive to me my dear, mine was like that. But is it an OV stick or Pregnancy test? You say OV but I thought the pg ones were blue.

Oops, just seen it's a pg test. Congratulations!

congrats svjenni.. *hug*
talking of boozem i had a few glasses of wine over the past few weeks... i only realised when my period was late and i was like oh oh...hubby's always more skeptical and he was like, dont worry it will come.. It was till Sun morning, as i did the test, he came upstairs to find out and he saw my hands were shaking..

i feel the same.. who do i tell? esp as its exciting yet still surreal.. i am not so close to mum and weirdly she works in the maternity dep at her local hospital so i rang her and her first response to me was 'so soon?'.. i felt so down.:(

Awww. Sorry you felt bad about her reaction. People do react in funny ways. We told my PIL early too, and their reaction was pretty low key and matter of fact too, and it upset me too. I think for them, they just reacted to how early it was, and didnt want to get too excited too soon in case things didnt work out. As it is, as it has got closer to DDay, they have got ALOT more enthusiastic and pleased. Maybe working at the mat unit, your mum just knows the risks this early and is reacting accordingly? Anyway, this baby is yours and your DH's and your excitement is all you really need.

When i told my mum, all she said was "oh, so you'll be dropping out of college?"

Erm no mum, I am 31 years old and will complete my course - of which I have just done, and signed up for the next level!!

Congrats to those who have just found out.

ahh thank you ladies.. i do feel better. you just think parents would be happy to know hey? My mum has always been critical from the point i told her about being with hubby and then we living together etc.. everything i have done etc has been criticised, so i thought she might be happy for this news, and all i got was a cold tone and oh so soon? lol. i am laughing now but before i wanted to just hang up on her. grrr your right, as long we we are happy that is what that matters plus stressing about family wont help.

thanks for the replies ladies: I have done 3 tests since - all positive and not with FMU either. I'm waiting for hubby to come home - i'm gonna go soft with the news as he won't be expecting it either - have bought a clearblue to do with him and also first thing in case the first comes up -ve but I suppose thats unlikely now.

I'm not close with my Mum either Rups so hugs to you - not sure what/ when I'm going to tell her - we haven't spoken since last christmas...

family hey? I thought we had sort of sorted stuff out but still feel the distance. i was adopted by family (her brother) when i was born so i didnt really bond with her. moved here with her 18 years ago and still never bonded. I was expected to stay at home whilst at uni etc but i moved out. Think she didnt have the 'indian culture control' on me either so it made things difficult. Then my sis passed away last year, and things between us before my sis passed away got weird as she was always angry towards to me for having a life she couldnt have that got us further apart and it happend worse with me and my mum too. Thought the wedding had changed some things but i doubt it. oh well got to look forward to having our baby and being positive about things hey? . sorry for the long rant..xx
