Awwww that’s wonderful! I bet he is the apple of their eyes. My baby (that still sounds sooooooo strange to say ) will be my parents first grandchild and my husbands parents second.

My husband is defo in the “lets wait 12 weeks” club. I’m like nooooooo lets tell some people!

It’s amazing to hear of other women this has happened to! I never thought it would be me though, I’m still in shock

I’ll phone the IVF clinic and get my name taken off the wait list today. It does feel really good knowing that another couple can start their treatment just that little bit sooner now.x

Awww congratulations!! That is amazing news. I do like the stuff that says all best parents are promoted to grandparents!! I think it’s so cute.

we’re currently 10 weeks pregnant using my friend as a surrogate after 4 years of IVF, £40,000 of NHS treatment , £30,000 of our own money and 7 embryo transfers.
Everyone knows we’re pregnant - I know we wait 12 weeks in the uk and I don’t know why. There’s actually a big thing going on in the Instagram ivf community about how women need support more than ever if they have miscarriages before 12 weeks - and by not telling people and then if something bad happens that woman then has to deal with her feelings in private. I would personally tell people.
I’m not buying anything till at least 30 plus weeks though. Going through such a traumatic ivf experience has defo scarred me - I won’t believe it until my babies in my arms.

Congratulations on your baby too! I have my fingers crossed that your baby will be in your arms before you know it!x

I agree with telling people so you have a support network around you if anything were to happen. I told my husband that I would rather have a few weeks of wonderful and joy with my family rather than them never knowing if anything bad happens.

anything at all

Congrats! Amazing news, hope everything goes well with your pregnancy x

I was in a similar boat a couple of years ago. We finally fell pregnant after 4 years trying on the cycle before starting ivf. Told only our parents pretty much straight after we found out and then I miscarried at 7 weeks, which was then really hard telling them. Looking back on it now I’m glad we told them only and not anyone else as it was nice to have some support.

We told my parents last night, they were thrilled!

I decided to put a blanket inside a beautiful wicker basket with some baby items and tied a massive bunch of white, baby pink and blue helium balloons to the handle. I also popped in a little framed poem about a new grandchild. When they had seen the basket I gave them a frame with a picture of the tests to open up.

My mum clocked what was going on as soon as she walked into the room, my dad not so much, bless his face was a picture when they unwrapped the frame!

Two very happy grandparents to be!

Thank you! I am nervous about if anything bad happens but I am so much happier and relaxed now that my parents know.x
