Inconveniences of waiting until week 12 to announce pregnancy

There are many couples who decide to wait until the end of the third month of pregnancy to announce that they are expecting a baby, when the risk of miscarriage has decreased. This decision can avoid having to explain if something eventually goes wrong with the pregnancy. However, it can also have some drawbacks.

First, if gestational loss occurs, the couple will have to cope without support. On the other hand, it can also be difficult to hide possible discomforts of early pregnancy such as nausea and vomiting from those closest to you. In addition, those closest to you may also be upset that you did not find out sooner if they take it as a lack of trust.
