It is simple you tell him. You are on friendly terms. If you were not then he would not let you take his dog to the park. It is his now. If he hears second hand then he will be right to think you are not as friendly as he thought you were.

Given your in-post justifications why would there even be a doubt? You basically posted the question then defended that you are just friends. Finding out from you or someone else isn't going to make you any less pregnant.

He's going to find out at some point given your work situation so there's no reason to make a big deal out of it.

To be honest, the biggest issue here is the dog. There's no way doing a "shared custody" situation is going to be sustainable. Separately, I'm not sure why that context matters here.

If it’s going to stress you or make you feel guilty if he finds out from someone else, tell him. If it’s not, don’t. The only person who’s feelings about the situation matter here are yours.

Given that they are still part of your life it's probably best that they know. Because given your continued proximity to each other they'll otherwise inevitably hear it from someone else.

You don't owe them this, but it's probably the smoothest way to handle this.
