1st Trimester

The reason why people don’t tell during the first trimester is because it’s the most crucial and fragile part of the pregnancy. The more people you tell, the more people you’ll have to repeatedly explain if anything goes wrong with the pregnancy. You’ll have to go through repeated sense of loss and sorrow whenever you keep explaining to those that know of your pregnancy. Of course your husband/partner should know. And if you’re comfortable, just tell your parents and PIL. Others don’t need to know, hide your morning sickness if you must. If you’re working, tell your boss and pray to God he/she understands. Cause some bosses will see pregnancy as a hindrance to your work and will try to replace you after you give birth. Sad but true. My ex-boss warned me not to get pregnant before when he proposed a promotion for me. Of course I didn’t take it cause I had plans to get married that time. After I got married and pregnant and after I was done with maternity, he was already finding for a replacement. I was his personal assistant for 4 years. 3 months later, I got laid off. Now, the current PA is pregnant too. Lol. So tell only who you must. I know it’s exciting but it’s not really exciting when something bad happens. We all don’t wish for anything bad to happen but every pregnancy is different and every body is different.
