Scan date

I've got my 12 week scan the day of my nephews birthday . We will all be going round there that night, should I wait and not tell the news then ? Is it selfish of me. If we don't tell them then I'm not sure when we would see them after that that didn't look suspicious . He will be 9 so I'm sure he couldn't care less and probably won't even sit in the same room as us anyway but still is it taking the lime light away from him ? I don't like attention anyway but I just not sure when else we would get to tell them and want my sister to know first . Honest opinions please

I personally wouldn’t. I’d wait x

Honestly, I also probably wouldn’t share it on that day. X

Thank you

I had a similar situation with my nephew turning 2 this week and hubby wanted to tell his brother and wife then, but I told him no as it’s his special day and we would be taking away the limelight. Also have the same issue though as you as we don’t usually make plans with them so it might look suspicious and now we’re not sure when or how we would tell them!

Personally I would tell them but I know my family would take it well. I think I'd just wait until the latter part of the day, not share the news right away. That way the focus can be on your nephew and then you can still share your news at the end. Think it depends what your family are like though! You could also always take your sister aside on the day and just let her know rather than everyone and see how she'd feel about you announcing wider? Congrats either way! Xx

@RD it's the same with us ,my husband can't see the issue but I'm not keen i just think its his birthday . We don't have any other family so the only other people will be my brother inlaws side and they are always late .It's our 2nd so my husband thinks just tell them and that's it because she is always so suspicious at the slightest thing I feel I've done so well to hide it all this time and as soon as I say im not drinking she will 100% know . But yea if I keep thinking I shouldn't do it that day then I probably shouldn't
