Answer

I had a stillborn at 20 weeks last year too. I have a 4 and 5 year old. It was so traumatizing for them. I’m almost 10 weeks now. We told our kids right away. It was a hard decision. Prayers for a healthy pregnancy!

Answer

My son is 16, we're told him right away. Even after 2 miscarriages he's very cautiously excited. For me it was better for him to know,  I have no poker face at all and I'm terrible at keeping a secret. Granted this pregnancy is with a surrogate but I wanted to be upfront with him and I know he can handle it.

Answer

I told my toddler right away even with the risk of miscarriage. I have not had a stillborn though, so my advice may not be what you are looking for. 
14 and 15 are old enough that they would notice you being sad about a miscarriage and it would be alarming to them if you didn’t tell them what the problem was. I’d go ahead and tell them now.
