When did you mummies announce ur pregnancy to everyone? (especially those not in your inner circle)
I shared the news with both side of our parents immediately when we tested positive at week 4. Thereafter, around wk 5, I shared with my direct supervisor and a colleague who works closely with me so that I dont have to carry heavy stuff at an event. At end of trim 1, I shared with all my colleagues as it’ll be helpful in their understanding for my frequent medical appointments and checkups. It helped because they were super helpful and were literally taking care of me. For close friends, I’d share as and when I see them. But those that aren’t too close but might meet in groups, I didn’t specifically announce. Just went for meals and they eventually saw my more and more obvious belly. Am currently in wk 17, and did not announce on social media either. Dont exactly have an intention to do so, but I dont know, I might at a later point.
Read moreTold our parents when I was 3 months pregnant. Told my 3 close friends and relatives when I was about 6-7 months pregnant. Another friend after I gave birth. It was nerve-wrecking to tell her cause she’s been trying for years. Didn’t want to hurt her feelings. That’s about it. Social media? I completely removed myself off from social media after I got married for a more private life and it was the best decision ever. Super terrified of my baby’s photo circulating online without my permission and end up in some sick and disgusting peadophile website.

Close friend - I didn’t meet anyone thru out my entire pregnancy so I only told them when my baby is out. Normal friend/social media - didn’t announce unless bump into each other.

Read moredidn't really announce it openly on social media. I announced to my friends and all when I meet them in person after the first trimester. I think most people openly announce after the first trimester at least. :)
