A Few Tips:

• Always consider the right time. If there are family events, it might be the best time or perhaps you want a private moment.
• Be mindful of the first trimester, considering the risk of miscarriage. Some couples wait till they enter the second trimester to announce.
• The most important thing is making your announcement special for you and your partner, whether it’s a big deal party or a simple, special moment between you and your future grandparents.

At the end of the day, whether it’s with extended family, best friends, or acquaintances, the great option is always what feels right for you. There are no rules when it comes to sharing such special news. And remember, there’s no extra cost for love and happiness.
