Yes or no???

Question

Ok, so back in June of this year my husband and I lost our baby at 7 weeks pregnant. I am now pregnant with our rainbow baby! I just don't know if I should tell our 8 year old and our 4 year old until I'm 14 weeks, or tell them now? Cause they took my miscarriage hard.

Answer

I lost our boy at 18weeks and my kids were 1,4 and 6. My oldest took it hardest but the other two didn’t really understand. And then I lost another at 14weeks and my kids were 3,6 and 8. My two oldest took it so so hard but you know what, it’s ok for kids to go through loss. They got to see mommy and daddy be real people and struggle through grief and healing together. It made us all closer as a family no matter how hard it was. We are believers so having that hope and getting to share it with them really helped. I am pregnant again and we plan to tell them at 9 weeks and we will pray with them and hope we get to meet this little one. :)

Answer

Id wait just because they experienced that once,  I would think it would be hard for them to understand if anything (god forbid) happened again. The concept of death is so confusing for children anyway, they don’t fully understand it. I’m usually against hiding pregnancy due to the potential of miscarriage, but in this case it’s different

Answer

I told my son early and he took it hard when we lost the baby back in July. I am planning on waiting until I know everything is okay to say anything. Congrats 🎈 🌈
