Announce pregnancy?
Do you think it's bad to tell your mother-in-law you're pregnant before you tell your own mother? We'll be at my mother-in-law's for Christmas, and if I refuse alcohol, cheese, and salmon, she'll already know what's going on. Since we live far away, my own mother will find out two weeks later because I want to tell her in person instead of over the phone.
Well, somewhere you have to start, either with your parents or with your parents – unless you could tell everyone at the same time.
But since this is not in your case, I would stick to the original plan.
I would also prefer to know personally that I am going to be grandma.
That you know a little bit earlier is the way.
My brother, e.g., only two weeks later when my sister learned that I am pregnant because he was not there – my sister already – on the day we told my parents – and we only saw ourselves two weeks later.
But I didn’t know he was kind of wearing this. He wasn’t there and finished one day. After all, he is the godfather of the Junior;-)
Or are you afraid that the one parents will rub the other under the nose, that they know earlier?
That’s a problem. You can say for safety at your mother-in-law that the first 12 weeks aren’t around, so they’re supposed to be holding us back with the narration. Since this is still a “magic” limit for many women, before which there is no public discussion about pregnancy, I would first assume that the mother-in-law will also adhere to it.
Thanks for the answer. <3 This has helped me very much. It's only 9 days until I see my mother and sister again and I thought it was a great news for the New Year. That my mother-in-law is counting it out. She lives in a country other than my mother and cannot agree. But we told her not to tell anyone
Partner, say to parents. There should be little time between parents, and within minutes both should know.
Sure, but isn’t it better to tell your own parents personally? I would like to see the reaction in live
Well, that’s a good plan or you have to tell the mother-in-law that they shouldn’t count it around.
Isn’t that a little selfish of you? Think about it from your mother’s point of view. Your daughter is pregnant, and the family of in-law is more informed. And by the way: there is zoom and the like.
Why? It’s hard to tie one to the nose that the others knew it before.
There’s a problem made of things that aren’t a problem.
You just say it at the personal meeting and done. In this case, it is also completely clear that the others do not know from the will of evil only a little later.
I’ll push you the thumbs that everything works as you imagine, I’m more practical.
Okay, but it’s about being exact at 9 days. Not even exactly 2 weeks;) and we also have a gift to announce
You see many YT videos where such Pregnancy Reveals are made, but realistic, how fast do you drum the families together?
Even though the fast, timely info is not exactly the same as the Knüller, fairness is at the forefront for me.
My parents say it now, and two weeks later the mother-in-law would care for evil blood.
It is at the discretion of the couple to look at how to proceed, I am not necessarily good, but is also not my family about it.
Sorry, I didn’t want to teach you. I wanted to give the questioner the indication that this usually does not work with the “don’t count any more”. I’m sorry if I kicked you on that slip.
Then you also read the objections I referred to. You don’t need to teach me, I have my idea of fairness and sensuality. Explain the rest with the questioner.
Yeah, that’s it. And now only the question remains if you tell your mother directly before (what you to be fair and nice, or whether you would tell her clearly later (what would be fair and nice) for you seems to be nicer). Your choice. The fact that the circumstances are so that your mother-in-law probably knows this now, that’s clear, but your mother can’t do that.
Yeah, well, I just see – and that’s why it doesn’t help to tell the mother-in-law. I was referring to that.
Well, I’m here at Christmas with the mother-in-laws and about 9 days later with my own mother. If I refuse any alcohol on Christmas or cheese etc, the mother-in-law would have hatched
Please take into account my input response
“Partner, then tell parents. There should be little time between parents, both of them should know within minutes.”
There’s no secret about that. Besides, what do you say when your mother asks if you’ve already told the in-law? “Ah, they’ve known this for two weeks, just fit better.”
With bad luck, she’ll hear from your mother-in-law by phone.
Call her, tell her on the phone, or make a pretty zoom conference. It is only two weeks after the mother-in-law to know your mother is likely to crumble.
They live 800 kilometres apart and do not speak the same language. they do not have a number
Yeah, but anyway, who knows, everything can happen. Or she hears about third, all stupid. Really, if my child first told someone else, I’d be pretty p… I’d rather be over phone or facetime or something. I’d be a thousand times better.
Say it to your partner first.
He knows, of course. In the 8th week
