When do you tell your children? How do I hide my symptoms without arousing suspicion?

Question

My boyfriend has 2 kids, 10 & 12. I've been doing my best to hide my symptoms from them, but morning sickness is start up. How do you hide exhaustion, nausea, huge breasts (though they're probably less likely to notice those), and smell aversion from kids in the house? Is there a plausible cover story? Help!

Answer

I think my kids just think I am being lazy, lol. They are 9 and 12. We have struggled with infertility for 8 years. We told them about one pregnancy and then miscarried. It was devastating to them. I will wait as long as I can with this one. I am having trouble hiding my little belly though.

Answer

Kids are pretty into themselves.  They don't really pay attention, or listen, when you talk about it to your partner.  I waa four months, when I slipped, to my six year old.  He had no idea.....  Mind the fact, that I had twins, last year.

Answer

Haha why are you waiting to tell them? I would just be yourself. They may not be perceptive enough to even notice.
