Congrats! I told my family during the first trimester. It depends on your relationship with them, whether you’re comfortable with them knowing early. For my first pregnancy, I made little nametags on the new statuses of my family members in relation to the baby. Heh. For the second pregnancy, it was close to CNY and my first LO wanted to give my family members an ang pow, so I put a picture of the ultrasound into an ang pow, and my first LO gave it to my family members, while telling them that “there’s a baby in Mama’s tummy” 🤣 You should get to choose when and how to share the news!

Depends on you and spouse. We have tried for many years and decided to inform our parents upon confirmation of pregnancy ard 4 weeks. Regardless the outcome, we felt that they have the right to know since they have been waiting for a grandchild for so long. 🤣

Depends on you. I wasn't able to keep anything from my parents so I told them the minute I found out. Anyway, if anything were to happen to me or the baby.. I would really much like it if my parents were to go through it with me. If you get what I mean.

Told parents immediately. Relative after 1st trimester finish. Company/friends 2nd trimester onwards. Reason you need to go for regular check-up. Leaves to excuse you and so on.

I announced to family when 12 weeks. And others havent announce yet😁 Waiting for after oscar test report out then planning to announce when i am 4 months or 5 months😂😂

I told my parents immediately after I tested positive pregnancy. Hubby was first to know, of course. But for my parents-in-law, I am waiting till end of 1st trimester to tell.

Whenever you're ready. My mom got to know that I'm pregnant by herself from the way I acted, I fall sick and I was exhausted. She just knew it without me telling 😅

After our first gynae appt when the first ultrasound was printed. But it really is up to you and the nature of your relationship with your family.

After 3 miscarriages, when i conceived the 4th time i immediately told my mum as i want her to be there with me from the beginning.

I told my parents immediately too as my dinner is cooked by my mum. For in laws, I only told them after first trimester.
