Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt aren't the only celebrity couple trying to avoid pregnancy rumors. Christina Aguilera dodged the question for months as did Jennifer Lopez. Deciding when and who to tell is different for everyone — some can't keep it in and others won't even tell their parents until they're out of the danger zone. Since Hollywood starlets are constantly in the public eye, everyone wants to know — are they or aren't they? But in the real world, it's a much easier secret to keep.
Since I've never been pregnant, I can only guess that I'd want to shout it from the rooftops, but how about you? Will you wait until your second trimester to tell your friends and family?

I would only tell my close friends and immidiet family. No one else!
1I would probably burst if I tried not to tell anyone. But if I were famous and everyone was constantly in my business I would probably feel differently. I would want people close to me to know but I wouldnt want the whole world to know.
2I would tell my parents and sister at first, then after the 1st trimester is over tell everyone and their mother
3I would tell close friends and family ASAP and then whomever after my first trimester.
4I had to learn the hard way.... for sure next time i will keep to my self.
5It depends on when I found out. If I was only a few weeks (like 5-6) along I'd wait to even tell my parents. I'd tell my guy. But then I guess I'd tell our parents and siblings at about the 2nd trimester mark if I could keep it in. If I was having morning sickness problems and such I might tell my mom so I'd have someone to discuss it with and possibly wait a little longer to tell everyone else.
lol I don't even know if any of that makes sense. I guess what I'm trying to say is I'd wait to tell for a while and then only to family and very close friends!
6I used to tell everyone immediately. I learned my lesson with my third pregnancy when I miscarried very early into it. This time we waited till about 9 weeks. Would have waited the full twelve, but it's my third child and I was showing BAD at Thanksgiving.
7It really depends on the situation. I was going to wait, but then I had to tell my folks at 4 weeks (my husband and I were moving, and I didn't lift anything heavy---they figured it out). Then I had to tell my work at 11 weeks instead of the 12 like I was planning because I had a health scare and had to leave.
My rule of thumb was to tell anyone that I would feel comfortable telling if I had a miscarriage.
8I told everyone with all 3 of my pregnancies.
9I don't think I would tell anyone until I was out of the most dangerous period. It would be heartbreaking for something to happen and have to tell everyone. I feel so sorry for Lily Allen.
10I think I would wait for a little while, and then tell close friends and family, perhaps before the first trimester. Then after the first trimester, I would tell people. It will probably be noticeable at that point anyway.
11I think I would wait 3 months to tell the world and at first we would just tell immediate fam and close friends.
12I'd wait to tell....Haha, I say that now but when the time comes, I'm sure I'll want to tell the world.
13I wouldn't say anything for months. I don't want anyone's pitty or anyone in my business.
14i would wait a while before telling anyone... it would be something i would wanna enjoy on my own at first, and then i would tell anyone who would listen
15I am with the majority in that I would try to wait until I was beyond the 3 month period. I think I would have a hard time with it because I am one of those people who has to wait to buy presents because I will give them to the person right away!
My sister told right away and then miscarried; with this one she didn't tell us until after her 3rd month came to an end.
16Better to wait until it's definitely going all the way...
17As LizL said: "My rule of thumb was to tell anyone that I would feel comfortable telling if I had a miscarriage." That's exactly how I feel. There is no way my husband and I could keep it a complete secret.
18I told anyone and everyone the first time, but then I had a miscarriage. Friends & Family were great for the support but running into acquaintances that had heard the good news, but not the bad was difficult. This time, we're just sharing with our closest friends and family. My fingers are crossed!
19I tell my family and close friends right away because I'd want their support if something were to happen. I tend to tell my immediate coworkers fairly quickly because again, if something were to happen, I'd likely need time off work and I want them in on what's happening.
20close friends and family during first trimester, everyone and their moms after that. =)
21I would wait. Just for fun, I probably wouldn't tell anybody, not even my husband. I'll let them find out for themselves. LOL.
22OMG, I'll be so beyond excited when I'm pregnant that I'm sure I'll tell all the people close to me!
23I would wait until after the first three months to tell. Wanna make sure everything is ok first.
24I've also told as soon as I found out.
25I chose other...If all goes well, i wont be having kids.
26I KEPT MINE A SECRET TIL THE MINUTE THE CONTRACTIONS STARTED
27I told my close family/friends as soon as I found out. I didn't start telling other people until way after 3 months. I wasn't obviously pregnant looking until close to my 6th month, so that is when I told alot of people. Some people said that I looked like I was just bloated as opposed to pregnant afterwards.
28TELL NO ONE UNIL ITS PAST THE 3RD MONTH!... THAT IS RULE IN MY FAMILY. SO ANGIE... ITS GOOD THAT SHE IS NOT SAYING NOTHING... WE DONT WANT ANYTHING HAPPENING TO THE NEW GOLDEN BABY TWINS OR BABY.
29i don't want ppl touching me, so i wouldn't be quick to tell folks.
all that "aww" and "ohh, how cute", "what do you want to have" . . . i just don't like the attention.
but hopefully by the time i have children (maybe in 7-10years), i will be nicer and won't mind the attention.
if i were to get knocked up right now (that's what it would be called since i'm not married), i would tell my mom and my close friends. if i were knocked up, i wouldn't go telling everybody. . .it's kinda low class to be knocked up, so it's not something to shout out.
30I told my husband at the first place, and then my parents and best female friend. My husband told his parents and best buddies. Of course with a sentence, "It's still early too announce to the world. So please keep it as a little secret..."
And then from 12 weeks, we were more relax and more open. And thank goodness that my belly was flat until the week 16 or so.
31I'd tell everyone who I felt should know. I'd tell all my friends and family members and anyone else who wanted to know. It's not like I'll tell strangers.
