There’s a lot of debate around when to tell people you’re pregnant. Some wait until 12 weeks. Some tell one person straight away. Some share early… and some keep it completely to themselves. Not telling anyone in those early weeks can feel surprisingly isolating.
Telling people earlier can bring support, reassurance, and understanding - especially on the harder days. However, waiting can feel protective, private, ‘safer’ and calmer for some.
There are pros and cons to both.
What matters most is choosing what feels best for you - emotionally, not socially.
