When and to whom to talk about pregnancy - the couple must decide, but the last word always remains with the woman. If a pregnant woman does not want to report on the upcoming replenishment, it is worth taking her opinion as the only possible one. This will keep the peace in the family and the peace of the expectant mother. Doctors advise to postpone talking about pregnancy and not inform others - after all, soon everything will become clear anyway.
The first 12 weeks are the most dangerous. During this period, the body itself can reject the fetus, involuntary miscarriages often occur. Therefore, you should not rush into conversations, and even more so with the acquisition of an inheritance for a baby. The fact is that if the fetus is not complete, a mutation or other disorders have arisen, the female body can make a decision on its own. No matter how hard it is to experience it, sometimes the body really knows better. Think it's easier to get through this moment on your own or with a counselor than to accept often inappropriate words of encouragement. In addition, for a long time you will be asked about your well-being, reminding you even more of a miscarriage. Although most often pregnancy goes well, it is worth talking about it after 12-14 weeks.
When to tell relatives
Until when not to talk about pregnancy to relatives and close people depends on the relationship in the family. If the relationship is good, feel free to arrange a holiday and solemnly congratulate your parents that they will soon become grandparents. In case the relationship leaves much to be desired - do not report as long as possible. This will avoid evaluations, accusations and other disorders that can negatively affect the course of pregnancy and the health of the child.
With whom and when to share the joy is up to you. Who to tell mom or best friend first is your decision. To avoid resentment, after giving birth, you can say that there were fears about pregnancy, or you decided to make everyone a pleasant surprise.
What to tell the employer
You most likely already know about the attitude of the employer and the team towards pregnant employees. If at work pregnant women are infringed in every possible way, hide it as long as possible. Ideal if you go on maternity leave while on vacation. Sometimes you can ask the therapist to write out sick leave, telling about your situation. You are in luck and the authorities are pleased with pregnant women - notify after 12-14 weeks. This will allow management to find a replacement, streamline workflow and take you on maternity leave with a clear conscience.
Neighbors, friends and all those with whom you are unfamiliar should not report pregnancy at all, they will find out themselves when they see your growing belly. Pregnancy is a sacrament, and if you do not want to be disturbed by trifles under a good excuse, it is better to talk about your situation as little as possible.
