Should I tell my mum about my pregnancy early

Hi
My husband and I (33/30) just found out Im expecting.
We have just started trying so we are delighted with the news and also its caught us slightly by surprise. Im on holiday with both sets of in laws in a few weeks.
In both cases its usually a fairly heavy drinking holiday going to bars and so on. Im on 6 weeks now but I want to have a quiet word with my mum to tell her in advance so I dont get questions about why Im not drinking. I think the news will take her by surprise but overall she'll be pleased. What is the best thing to do as I dont want to jinx anything.

Yes of course you do, telling someone isn’t going to jinx anything. The only reason not to share the news is so you don’t have then keep telling everyone if something does go wrong.

I thought about who I would tell / need support from if something went wrong and they were the people who I told early.

Yes, I would tell. Telling someone early won’t jinx it.

No. I did, and then my mum told every Tom dick and Harry despite promising me she wouldn’t. It was infuriating.

Yes tell her
or you could just say…. “You know what, I’m not 18 anymore, I don’t fancy drinking loads of booze anymore on holiday and feeling rough the next day so I’m going to take it easy this year”
