Bible Question (short): When did Joseph and Mary go to Bethlehem

Question (full): I know tradition indicates that Mary gave birth the night of her arrival in Bethlehem. However, that seems rather like a dramatic addition. Is there any clear indication in Scripture or elsewhere historically that people in Nazareth (other than Joseph and presumably Mary's immediate family) knew that Mary was pregnant before she left for Bethlehem, or did Mary leave perhaps early in her 2nd trimester before she was showing? I'm not aware of any clear and direct accusations toward Jesus about being conceived out of wedlock, and I would expect them if His birth was well known. It seems like the timing of Mary's visit to Elizabeth, the decree of Caesar, and the flight to Egypt kept the miraculous and scandalous conception a secret -- but one that could be later easily confirmed by those closest to Mary and Joseph still alive after Jesus' resurrection. Any insight or comments on this concept and question?
