At first, I told my parents and in-laws by the second month, but no one else until well after the first trimester was over. Sadly and ironically, the very moment I told my in-laws (on Chanukah) that we were expecting our second child, within literally 30 seconds, I had begun to realize I was miscarrying. Had I only waited another minute, I would never have told them and could have spared them the pain. After that experience I waited until after the first trimester for parents, and when I was showing, for everyone else.
