Has anyone not told certain people about pregnancy until the last minute?
Theres quite a few people in my life at the moment that I’m avoiding or not wanting to tell that I’m pregnant, for a few different reasons: some being generally two faced and telling everyone my business, being in different stages of life and mentioning how much they want pregnancy/marriage (envy? fear of jealousy). Idk I’m really anxious about things going wrong and someone inflicting bad karma/energy
Mind you I can’t cut these people out and can only avoid them for so long.
I plan on just letting them see the bump and making the conclusions for themselves.

I was advised to leave it as late as possible for the same reasons you stated but stupidly didn't and let guilt get the better of me. I told them recently and it was a baaaad idea. I'd say trust your gut. Of you feel like you can't trust them with your lovely news, you're probably right.
Most of my close friends only found out when they got invited to my baby shower 2 months before I gave birth. The rest only found out when I announced on Facebook that I now have a baby. Only my family new and the very very few people I saw between 5 months to 9 months as I was showing.
