Such stressful situations can really affect your health, trust me I had high blood sugar due to stress during my time. Please eat well and don't skip meals because of these worries. Legal things can be sorted with a lawyer, but your health is priority.

I remember reading on my tracker app's community forum that legally, a mother isn't forced by law to disclose her pregnancy immediately, but it can affect father's rights later. Maybe check some online legal forums for India? It will give you a clearer picture.

My baby kept me awake all night and my brain is fried, but I had to reply to this. Honestly, hiding a pregnancy sounds like a full-time job on top of being exhausted! Do what is best for your sanity, but maybe check with a lawyer so you dont get into trouble later.

Omg this is a very heavy question, is everything okay with you? I am just planning my pregnancy right now and I can't even imagine going through this stress. Hope you have good people around you to support.

Please don't take too much stress, because high stress can cause BP issues or other complications, which I faced during my delivery. If things are bad at home, please tell your gynac or doctor, they can sometimes guide you to counselors who help pregnant women in distress.

Dear, legally a mother has a lot of rights, but hiding it completely can make child custody or maintenance tricky later. Why don't you talk to a family counselor or a lady lawyer who can guide you properly? Take a deep breath, you will find a way.

Listen to me, don't panic. No matter what the situation is, you are not alone and you are very strong. If you feel unsafe or worried, talk to your parents or a trusted friend, and definitely consult a lawyer quietly to know where you stand.

Honestly, I don't know the exact legal rules but when I was pregnant, my relationship was very rocky. I decided to tell him eventually because of family support, but it's a very personal decision to make. Think about your safety and peace of mind first.

With twins, I could barely hide my belly after 3 months, let alone the news! But jokes apart, if you are in a safe space, it is better to seek legal help to know your rights rather than hiding it. It's too much burden to carry alone.
