Honestly, it's best to wait until your first trimester scan is done and your doctor says everything is healthy [1.1.4]. Once you are past 12 weeks, you can plan a cute dinner or just share a photo of your ultrasound report.
Haan na, sharing this news is so exciting! You can keep a small get-together at home and wear a cute baby-themed t-shirt, ho na? Or just send them a sweet group message with a photo of the baby shoes.
I was extremely cautious and waited until my 20-week scan to tell anyone except my family because of my past loss. It's totally okay to take your time and protect your peace. When you feel ready and safe, even a simple phone call to close friends is beautiful.
Don't waste money on expensive photoshoot props or fancy reveal parties, save that budget for the baby's delivery and initial hospital deposits. Just invite your close friends over for home-made chai and snacks, and tell them personally. It's warm, budget-friendly, and very special.
Oh I overanalyzed this so much, thinking what if I tell them too early or what if they feel bad if I tell them late! In the end, I just told my closest three friends over a video call because I couldn't hold the secret anymore. Just do whatever makes you feel happy and relaxed, don't overthink it!
I used a pregnancy app that had really cute digital milestone cards! I customized one with my baby's due date and posted it in our WhatsApp group. It was super easy, modern, and everyone loved the surprise instantly.
