Name changed as I think a few people know my usual username and could do with keeping this to myself for the time being.
A bit of a background, I have 2 dc with ExDh and one with my new partner of 4 years. ExDh has had numerous relationships since we split and had just started seeing someone new, he’s around 2 months into the relationship I think.
I have just found out I am pregnant with Dc4, due at the end of December, and I have just found out that ExDh’s new partner is pregnant, due in November.
I haven’t told Ex about my pregnancy as he was a bit worked up about his news, pregnancy is unplanned and he has always said he didn’t want anymore children, and I didn’t want to give him anymore reason to worry.
My question is, how the hell do I handle this with DC 1&2? How do I tell them they are going to have 2 new siblings a month apart, one by a woman they haven’t even met yet? Obviously I am planning to wait until after the first scan as is ExDh but I’m so worried about the confusion the news is potentially going to cause 😕
Any advice on how to handle this will be very welcome.
