When to tell parents about pregnancy?

I'm pregnant, and while I'm thrilled, I'm a bit nervous about telling my parents. They've been very keen for us to have a baby. When is the right moment to share the news with them?

Most people wait until after the first trimester (12 weeks). It's a very personal decision though.

When to tell parents? When you're ready for a lifetime of unsolicited advice and endless 'gud news' calls from relatives! 😉 But seriously, most people wait until the end of the first trimester, when things are a bit more stable. Congrats!

Haan, parents ko batana sabse mushkil aur exciting hota hai na! Normally, after the first 12-14 weeks, jab baby stable ho jata hai, tab batate hain. Tab tak thoda private rakho, it's okay. Your comfort comes first.

My grandmother would say, wait for the safe period to pass. This means after the first trimester, usually around 12 weeks, when the risk of complications is much lower. It gives everyone peace of mind. Always check with your doctor for your specific situation though.

Beta, it is a very happy news. You tell them when you feel ready in your heart. Many people wait until the first three months are over, when the baby is a little stronger. But if you need your mother's support early, tell her. She will understand.

My doctor advised that it's a personal choice, but typically, informing parents after the first trimester (around 12-14 weeks) is common. This is because the critical development period is over, and the risk of early miscarriage significantly decreases. It makes for a more confident announcement.
