My fiancé has two daughters from his first marriage. They’re 10 and 12.

He wasn’t allowed to see them for a couple of years due to his ex withholding them, but now there’s a custody order in place and he can see them regularly. We moved states in order to live close to them.

I just met them for the first time this past weekend. They’re very sweet girls and they liked me immediately. I’m very relieved because I didn’t know how they would react.

I’m currently 13 weeks pregnant with my first child. We will need to tell them soon because I will start showing. And I would love to involve them in our gender reveal in 3 weeks too.

They already have two little sisters from their mom, so they’re not new to the concept of little siblings.

But my fiancé is extremely worried about telling them, since they just met me, and just recently started bonding with him again. He would prefer to put it off for a few more months. His fear is that they could get jealous or feel like not all of his attention is on them.

Tbh I don’t really want to wait that long. I will need to start buying baby stuff, plus I think they will feel betrayed when they figure it out on their own. They know what a pregnant woman looks like because their mom just recently had a baby.

What should we do?
