When to tell other kids...

My daughter is almost 7 and has been dying for me to get pregnant. I am about 5 weeks, and I know that it is way too early to tell her now, but when should I??

I'm not telling my 3 year old until I'm in the 2nd trimester - she has a BIG mouth and I fear who she will tell at school Chat Icon

DD is 3 & was begging for a sibling when I got pregnant. We told her at about 11 weeks after hearing the heartbeat. I didn't want to tell her before the second trimester because I've had a m/c before & I would be devistated to have to tell her about the loss.

Re: When to tell other kids...

I would say it depends on the child's age. I would probably not tell a child under 7 until I was at least showing a little, like 16 weeks or so. I would probably tell a child who's older much sooner.
