When would you tell your other children?

We have an almost 4 year old (& a 9 month old but too little to understand obviously!) & can’t decide when to tell her. We have had 3 losses in the past, so just being mindful of her emotions!

I told my 4 year old right away! She is soexcited to get a siblibg and so excited to talk about the Changes day to day andwhat she can do to help with the baby. If by chance i miscarry ill just have to explain that to her but id rather have her enjoy this excitement with me and her dad

With my second I told our daughter right away because I was so in shock and never even considered her having a sibling, so I just had to ask what she thought about it right away and then we were all excited together ☺️

I personally would wait until I’m 12w and telling others. Only because kids tend to repeat things, so if I haven’t told anyone yet, I don’t want them to do it!

I have a 4 year old daughter and a 10mo old daughter! 4yo really wants a brother so I’m not telling her (or anyone else) I’m pregnant until I know the sex so I can just give it to her straight. Too many people asking if I’d be disappointed with another girl and that kinda hurts my feelings.. we’d of course like a boy but another little girl would be fun too. I just don’t even want to think about it. All I know is, 10 months ago when we had out second (who was a total surprise!), we knew this family wasn’t complete just yet.
