12 week scan next week and I had a private scan last week, so hopeful all good. We’re dithering over whether to tell older dd (8) next week, or whether to wait until we get the all clear at 20 weeks.
Having bad news at 20 weeks would be made worse by having to tell her as well, but I’m not sure how realistic it is to hang on until then.
I’m a bit overweight so reckon I could hide it from her, but it will probably start to be obvious to other grown ups so we’re risking someone accidentally mentioning it in front of her!
Also, selfishly, really want to tell her next week as she’ll be so excited! Someone tell me what to do!
