Shall I wait or tell my Mum?

Gambit - I'm waiting...

Yes I agree, tell her at once, it changes her life to in such a magical way so she will be able to enjoy it as soon as possible!

Gambit - we'd love an update please

Tell her straight away. she will be disappointed if you haven't told her and someone already knows. why wait. if something happened before the 12 week scan you would let her know I assume rather than keep it a secret. she will probably be absolutely thrilled. go for it.

Please just TELL HER and congrats to you too. Hope all goes well but your Mum should be there to enjoy the journey as soon as you know.

Congratulations Gambit - to you, and your mum x

Tell her -if shes anything like me, she already knows !

Flipping heck Gambit I was looking forward to coming on here and see you say you had a good old hug and shared a little tear of joy.

Go for it, Gambit - bet she'll be over the proverbial moon!

Me too. Feedback please when to tell her!

Drat! Was hoping to hear all about her reaction.

Was all set to go - and found out she's gone away for a long weekend, back Tuesday! I'll have to wait, I'd rather do it in person. I'm very excited now that you've all persuaded me it's the best thing to do.

Oh, Manacaz! If any of us hear good news today, we'll be thinking it's us!

only just read the thread and yes would have said go and tell your mum don't wait

I hope that in the meantime mum hasn't read this on gransnet and put 2 & 2 together and realised that we all knew before her!

I agree with everyone here -tell her! And keep us posted x

Gambit's already said she intends to! She posted as much at 1300 hrs...

Tell her now!

Hi Gambit, don't worry about not worrying your mum till you've had your first scan - if she's a worrier she'll worry till the little one arrives! Congratulations, hope all goes well!

My daughter told me and her mum in law when she was eight weeks but did not go public until she had the scan and then posted on Facebook.

Congratulations - tell her NOW!

The only reason for hanging fire till the scan is to take account of the remote possibility that the pregnancy might not stick - and if, by some sad mischance, it does not, then Mum will be there by your side to comfort you, having shared the initial excitement.

I am sure that all will be fine.

I knew when all my DDs were pregnant - except one of them, who I had not expected to have children, so that was a bit of a shocker - but lovely!

Congratulations Gambit, I'm sure your mum will be thrilled

I wouldnt worry about it gambit your mum will be thrilled to bits when she hears the news...

My son and his wife are expecting their first child and i wasnt the first to know and it didnt bother me one bit.

My dil hesitated to tell anyone too early as she had had a miscarriage earlier but I knew! Not drinking wine at Christmas was a big give away! (six years ago). I would have been very sad if I had not been told at least second - after her mum. You can't have too much good news.

I agree and so it looks as if we are unanimous. I have no daughters, but have been included in the good news just as soon as my DiLs' mums.
