We told the kids right about week 12/13. I carried big the whole time (3rd baby) so it was hard to keep hiding it from others. I know the kids wouldn't guess from my size, but we wanted to tell them before telling everyone else. We told them on a Saturday and went to a family function on Sunday where DS got to wear a shirt announcing he was the big bro. DD got to announce when it was her bro being born.
I have my NT scan at 13 weeks and will prob tell her after we get the results which I think is at 15 weeks. We told her last time when I hit 12 weeks and that ended in a mc and that was horrible to untell her.
But, we don't live around anyone we would be keeping it from, and I have no history of complications/issues w/ pregnancy.
I guess it was a good decision since he's been thrilled and we haven't had to untell him. Also, like a PP I've been really sick off and on, so it was better to tell him it was the baby and that I wasn't "sick."
