Its a bit of a gamble telling your parents aye! I remember when I first found out I was pregnant I went round to my dad and step mums place and kinda brought the topie of having babies into the conversation and they were like, you've still got ages, kids are hard work etc, so I held off telling them - I had told my mum though and some other family members knew, so I told them a couple of weeks later and they were stoked, so that was great! They seem pretty excited, but theres still a few months to go!]]> Fri, 06 Apr 2007 09:54:08 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6574&PID=126975&title=telling-the-folks-tonight#126975 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6574&PID=126971&title=telling-the-folks-tonight#126971 Author: busymum

Oh I'm so glad you got a good reception!!

My first pregnancy came soon after a genealogy stint of my mother's and, opting for something different, she decided she was going to be called Grandy - one of the names she had found in her family history by some random. Ugh. All us kids hate it, especially as it sounds so old and she's nearly 46! But she got her wish, maybe your dad will too LOL]]> Fri, 06 Apr 2007 09:43:16 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6574&PID=126971&title=telling-the-folks-tonight#126971 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6574&PID=126927&title=telling-the-folks-tonight#126927 Author: MyMinis

oo yay!!
i remember calling my parents to tell them about both pregnancies and my parents were jumping for joy, but I had also told them i was late and needed to test so they were expecting a positive.
good luck]]> Fri, 06 Apr 2007 08:00:11 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6574&PID=126927&title=telling-the-folks-tonight#126927 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6574&PID=126924&title=telling-the-folks-tonight#126924 Author: kebakat

Aww yay!

When we told our parents I didn't know how to say it so both times we just said you are going to be grandparents or nana or something lol. Took my mum a while to click what this actually meant though.]]> Fri, 06 Apr 2007 07:39:29 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6574&PID=126924&title=telling-the-folks-tonight#126924 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6574&PID=126909&title=telling-the-folks-tonight#126909 Author: Maya

Awesome!

Thats one of my only regrets with my pregnancies - both times my parents weren't happy about it. Was worse with Maya (I couldn't even tell Dad till I was 5 mths) but even with the gremlins he called them "a goose around my neck" - was a different story once he got used to the idea tho!]]> Thu, 05 Apr 2007 22:37:54 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6574&PID=126909&title=telling-the-folks-tonight#126909 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6574&PID=126907&title=telling-the-folks-tonight#126907 Author: NovemberMum
