When, to whom and how to announce a pregnancy?

Hiya, I got pregnant after 2 months with my new boyfriend and very similar background to you. I told my close family and half were shocked half were happy, I just told my mum and sister in person, sent a picture of the scan to the rest of them because I knew they would judge of disagree but didn't want to deal with their negative emotions because we were so excited. I posted the same pic of the scan to my Instagram story as a broad announcement and had so many positive response I was shocked but happy! It's made me realise though how important my little bubble is, sending love to you xz
Why are you worried about telling people ? It’s your life , it doesn’t matter what others think . When I was pregnant I told the people I wanted to tell and didn’t bother telling anyone else . I didn’t do any announcements or anything, just got on with being happy and enjoying my pregnancy
Told close friends/family at 12 weeks. Publicly announcing at 23 weeks.
I imagine that the people who were not happy about your engagement Will be very judgmental about the pregnancy. And I’m really sorry for that. I think you should just share it when you want to share it. There’s no perfect time. In this situation, there will be critical of you and your partner, it’s pretty unavoidable — but as long as you and your partner (and your future baby) are happy then fuck the haters tbh 🤷🏻♀️
