I generally waited till 12 weeks or I was showing (which was earlier with #3, LOL). That was my general rule on telling anyone really.
For each of my kids the only day I closed early for appointments was my big 20 week u/s - couldn't schedule that for evening due to the radiology center's hours but my regular ob/gyn appointments were always in the evenings. I closed for 2 weeks when each of them were born. I had prepared to have someone come in and help after the 2 weeks but I didn't need it. We just took it easy the last few weeks before I delivered and the first week or two they came back - parents had no problem with a little tv time thrown in there since that was normally not a regular part of our days.
