Having to tell family too early

Hi
Third pregnancy and the first since living in my inlaws house.
Due to money problems my husband says we really should tell the family now. Like tomorrow!!! I'm 4 weeks pregnant.... I hate telling the family too early. I feel uncomfortable with all the circus and also I'm always scared of having a miscarriage in the first trimester (it never happened but still).
I already feel stuck having to live in their house (thanks a lot Brexit...) but being pregnant and having a baby? The experience was always very personal. We were living in a different country even. Here they'll complain that I'm carrying my toddlers too much and it's bad for the baby Hmm and it's not the kind of family that I can breastfeed without moving to a different room or covering up. With a slightly older child was ok but a newborn feeds all the time!!!
Sorry guys... I just needed to vent somewhere Sad I know it's not the end of the world but I'm quite private/shy. This was that thing that was nice and personal in our little husband/wife/kids world.
Thanks for listening
