When did you girls, announce your pregnancy? And how!

Was wondering when & how is the best way to breakdown the news to your loved ones? (ie baby’s grandparents, friends) Also when should I be telling my manager? At this point, only my husband knows. However, would love the support of my own parents too! Also would love to hear how different cultures differ when it comes to early announcement superstitions!

I informed my parents and in-laws 1-2 weeks after testing positive on a home kit (around week 6), after my husband and I have talked through our plans! This was so that everything from diet, household chores, exercise etc could be taken into account (I live with my in-laws!) for the pregnancy. We actually placed the test kit and a newborn zip suit in a pizza box 🤣 I informed my supervisors around 3-4 months as soon as I got my NIPT results back, as that was when we were more or less going through with a healthy pregnancy and because I would require some stark changes at work. I informed most of my friends and colleagues in the 5-6 months mark, as soon as I was able to meet them in-person :) I didn't post anything on social media till I gave birth!
