Sharing of pregnancy

How many of you told your family members when you found out that you are pregnant? My husband forbids me to tell anyone including my mother as he feels that we should only announce during second trimster

My husband and I were quite chillax and we told immediate family first. Then we told close friends even tho we didn’t hit our 2nd tri yet. We figured, even if we had a miscarriage, we have these people who we love and trust to journey with us through that. By sharing I could also go to people for advice and help when I was going through all that first trimester nonsense - nausea, fatigue, body pain etc. with my close family and friends. Support was very important for me even if they could do nothing to help, even a listening ear was good. I think ultimately it depends on what both of you agree on. If one feels uncomfortable sharing, it’s best to respect one another’s opinion especially since you are partners in this. If you wish to share, express your reasons on why you prefer to let people know.
