When did you first tell you other children you were pg?


Hi all,

Just wondering when you all told your other children you were pg. I'm 12 weeks tomorrow but just ween told my scan won't be for another 1-2 weeks and was going to tell my soon after that, thing is i'm piling weight on my bump and keep slipping up with things i say around my eleven year old and don't want him to find out like that. I've had three m/c but had an early scan with this one at 8 weeks and all is well so far and all the signs are still positive.

If you were in my position what would you do?

Thanks xxx

It's so hard isn't it? You try and protect your kids from the world but then in the same breath it'd be nice to share the experience and not let him find out by accident so to speak x
