Are you with the baby's dad or are you single?  If you're together I would suggest starting with him. If not he still needs to know soon. Its not fair for him to miss out on something he may or may not want to be a part of.

I waited until I was 17 weeks to tell everyone because I was terrified. I also knew the baby daddy didn't want children and he would push for adoption. When I finally told people I decided to not act like it was a bad thing, I just acted  super happy and I also had a plan together to tell people how it would work out.

Um yeah,  honey, it's been 21 weeks; it's only fair to tell the important people in your life, including Dad. You just need to get it out there. Don't wait for the right time. Just the next time you see your fam, at breakfast or whatever,  just say, " Hey I have to tell you guys somrthing, that's really important.  Sorry I've waited so long to tell you, but it never seemed like the right time: I'm 4 months pregnant." If you are close w the father, it might be fair to tell him first. But don't wait! The important people in your life have a right to at least be aware of the planning that's going on.

It may never seem like the right time but I was terrified about telling my grandfather because he practically raised me and I felt like I was letting him down but when I told him he was excited as he could be for me just have faith that they will be there and tell them
