Is 5 weeks too early to tell my kids?

Question

I have 3 kids and now expecting my 4th, I am DYING to tell them that they're going to have a sibling but is it too soon? I'm about 5 weeks

Answer

I think it is a personal choice! I plan on telling my daughter after my first doctor’s visit, but that’s just more for my own peace of mind.

Answer

I told my kids right away.

Answer

I wanted to wait after 12 weeks but my 4 yr old saw her dad say hi to my belly and started laughing and said “daddy you are so silly, mommy has no baby in her belly” and then her eyes popped out of her head and said “you have a baby in your belly?” I didn’t have the heart to lie to her and of course she ran and told her 3 yr old sister.... I just turned 6 wks today so praying everything turns out ok and we have another healthy baby.

Answer

I have 3 kids and we told them right away that we’re expecting #4. I’ve had 3 healthy pregnancies, never had a miscarriage, I just feel confident this will be another healthy pregnancy, I’m not worried at all.

Answer

I would wait. My mum told my brother when he was younger and she ended up having a miscarriage, it really affected him. Maybe think of fun ways you can tell them when it’s safe? 😊

Answer

I would wait. I have 5 kiddos and I told them as soon as I got pregnant in Jan and unfortunately that pregnancy ended in a miscarriage. That was excruciating having to tell them. I am waiting this time until after 12 weeks.

Answer

I've been holding off  due to 2 previous losses my oldest is 2 so I've just been asking him if he he wants another  brother or sister.. he has a 5 month old brother but of course my 2 year old says no to everything.. btw I'm 5 weeks aswell.
