What week did you tell parents - pregnant

I have a very close relationship with my parents. My husband and I are 6 weeks pregnant.

I don't know whether to tell my parents now or wait.

Only thing making me want to tell now is that I was pregnant before but had a mc. When I was pregnant I had horrendous nausea and struggled to hide it.

Well with all the men trying to be women gender reform nonsense it's important that we don't label men as being pregnant since they do not go through the effort and experience of actually being pregnant.

I told them at 11 weeks, I'm extremely close with my family but we've had a lot of bereavement recently and so I didn't want to give them good news and then have to give them bad news if something went wrong.

To those saying you don't show until your 16+ weeks. True, but I am slim and at 6 weeks I looked pregnant due to the pregnancy bloat. There are lots of ways you can appear pregnant that doesn't just revolve around your physical appearance - your mood, eating and drinking habits etc. so you can't always hide your pregnancy in the first few months.

I am underweight and nearly 13 weeks pregnant. I look the same as usual (maybe a bit bloated by the end of the day). I blamed the sickness on general illness. Told my parents the day before my 12 week scan.
