AIBU feeling uncomfortable telling people I'm pregnant because I don't want to be judged?

Please be nice.
I'm having a child with my best friend and I'm dreading the judgement we'll both get from friends and family and worse still our Exes.
We started out as FWB and then eventually became best friends. We occasionally have sex especially when both or maybe either of us is single but we've never been a couple.
We spend a lot of time together which tends to give the impression that we are together so we're forever having to explain to people that we're just friends.

Well got pregnant by accident and we've now decided to be a couple but even at 12 weeks I still can't tell anyone I'm expecting. He's over the moon and has been eager to post it but I'm kinda shy. I've always loved him and always will, but imagine having to admit this to the same people we've been trying to convince all this time.

Don't worry about it! People will be happy for you if you're happy.

I expect a lot of the people who love you have patiently been waiting for you two to realise you want to be together and will only be thrilled for you Thanks

Yeah the people you've constantly told will be happy for you. Honestly.

Congratulations Thanks

I felt nervous telling people I was having a baby by myself but people are so supportive and will be happy for you. Congratulations to you all

I bet your friends and family will just be delighted. People have babies in far less conventional situations than yours!

Congratulations!

But you’ve only ‘decided to be a couple’ because of an unplanned pregnancy? Or are you saying you’ve been secretly in love with one another all along, despite seeing other people and elaborately explaining to everyone you were just friends?
