Haan yaar, ye toh bilkul personal choice hai! Humne toh ghar pe dadi-nani ke bolne par 3 mahine tak kisi ko nahi bataya tha, bas parents ko pata tha. Tumhe jab comfortable lage tabhi batao na, isme koi rule thodi hai.
Beta, in our times, we used to wait till the first trimester was over, around 12 weeks, to avoid 'nazar'. It is better to keep it private between husband and wife initially. Just take care of your health, eat simple ghar ka khana, and don't lift heavy things.
I am also planning to conceive soon and honestly, I keep thinking about this! Part of me wants to tell my parents immediately, but my husband thinks we should wait. What are your thoughts on waiting till the first scan?
We decided to wait until our first ultrasound scan around 8 weeks when we saw the baby's heartbeat. Once our gynac confirmed everything was medically fine, we told our immediate family. It's a personal choice, but having medical confirmation first felt right for us.
My doctor actually advised me that the risk of early complications drops significantly after the 12th week. Based on that research and doctor's tip, we informed our parents around the 10th week after a healthy scan, and the rest of the family only after the NT scan in the 13th week.
