My parents knew at week 6 when I was hospitalized from dehydration due to nausea, and it was obvious for my colleagues cos I had morning sickness every single day for the first 3 months. Gradually told close friends and other relatives from week 14-18 cos for me that was the year end period and we had lots of gatherings and meet ups! Couldn’t wear my normal jeans/pants from 5th month but bump was only obvious from the 6th month onwards. Agree with some mamas here when they say don’t have to rush to reveal cos you’ll have less opinions to deal with (drag it out if you can haha). But for me, I felt that having my own parents know from the start was a good thing, because my first trimester was terrible and they were the best support I could ever have. If your first trimester isn’t so good, pls don’t go through it alone just cos you’re waiting for the “right time” to reveal! If you need the support, let someone you trust know early. :)
