How Not To tell Colleagues

I'm in my first tri and I'm quite close to my colleagues. Usual practice is to not tell anyone other than the necessary people until first tri is over. But because I am close to my colleagues it's been hard! How did yall do it? I'm also too tired to go for some outings and wish I can just tell them the real reason why.

I just tell them that I’m not feeling well to go for outing/have another appointment. I believe they will understand once u announce ur pregnancy to them after 12 weeks. I don’t wish my colleague to : 1. start spreading the pregnancy in office 2. should anything (touch wood) happen, I do not need to explain to anyone and repeat the grief. However, if u have alot of nausea in office, I think they will know. Also, if u think ur colleagues are ok, go ahead :)
