people really can't wait for a full trimester? even my wife who has a really close relationship with her family did not cave.
I don't really consider it "caving" since we would have wanted the small group of people we told "in our corner" should something have happened that early. It was an excitement thing, but also a "we want this small group of people to know should anything go wrong" thing. The other folks only found out after the doctor cleared us and told us that, based on what he had seen, the risk was the same at that visit as it would be after the official end of the first trimester.
It was also hard to not tell some people because my wife was throwing up at work and had stopped drinking at their happy hours or when we had friends over for dinner.
