Ok, so I started a thread earlier about telling DSD I'm pregnant after the 12 week scan and was met with a few 'wait until you're 20 weeks' comments. Not a bad thing and completely understand this rationale.
My question... I'm worried that if I wait until this long that she will notice me getting bigger (I'm 12 weeks so possible I will start showing properly soon). I'm also worried that she will find out from someone else: DP and his ex share mutual friends and I would hate for her mum to be the one to share our news first (as much as I have no issue with her, this would upset me). If I hide it from DSD until 20 weeks, I have to hide it from the world and I don't think I can.
My question? When did you tell your child/children? What were your reasons for telling when you did? Am I silly to want to tell after the 12 week scan?
Never done this before and would like to do it in the most sensible, sensitive way possible...
