Telling husband and kids I’m pregnant

I can’t decide, should I tell my husband before telling our kids that I’m pregnant? Or should I tell them all at the same time? We have a 10, 8, and 1 year old.
I am thinking of telling them altogether this weekend on my husband’s birthday! But keep wondering if I should tell him alone first! Help!

    I would tell your husband first. It will be a big adjustment for your kids, so I’d want to make sure you’re on the same page. I also don’t understand how people can wait to tell their partners. I had to wait 48 hours to tell MH when he was out of town and it early killed me.

    +1 for telling your husband first. You two can celebrate this new addition together and then share the news with your children, together.

    I would just tell my husband first if it's still early. He may not want it due to some circumstances and so we might have to abort it. But if the kids already knew about the pregnancy then that will just devastate or confused them. 

    For the kids, they are still young. If I'm bringing in a new baby into the family, then they'll see it with my belly and can ask me then.
