I felt my heart beating so fast when we decided to tell our families. We sent a customized cake to everyone with 'Baby coming soon' written on it. I felt so emotional seeing how happy and excited everyone was for us!
I announced it to my husband by wrapping my positive test kit along with a cute pair of baby walking shoes! For family, we kept it simple because I wanted to focus on my doctor-approved prenatal yoga and rest. It was a sweet, stress-free announcement.
We did a very simple announcement at home with a family puja to take blessings for the baby. If you are sharing the news, just keep it cozy and comfortable. And remember to keep your health first during these initial weeks, don't overexert yourself.
We announced it to my parents and in-laws by gathering everyone for a family dinner. I gave my mother a small box of sweets with a note saying 'Grandmother-to-be'. Seeing her teary eyes was the most beautiful moment of my life.
I was so panicked and anxious in my first trimester that I waited until my 12-week scan was completely normal before telling anyone besides my husband. Honestly, waiting till the first trimester is over gives you so much peace of mind, so don't rush it if you feel nervous.
