I will be having my scan this thursday. I had one at 9 weeks and saw hb and all was fine so im expecting the baby to be ok all being well.
My dd will be 7 soon and as yet doesnt know im pg as we are keeping it to ourselves until scan and we thought it was a big ask to ask a child to keep a secret like that.
Anyhow she already has a brother, my ds whos 3, that most definitly wont be attending the scan as hes a fidget, etc. But she has been asking us to have another dc for a while so i thought it would be nice to suprise her by taking ger up to the hospital and then breaking the news just before the scan. I also thought actually seeing the baby will make it seem real as i know she will be doubtful its actually happening as ive said no for so long! (this dc is actually unplanned so i guess she must have been wishing pretty damned hard!)
I then was going to let her tell my parents and other family, etc so that she gets to be the news bearer which i know she will love.
On the other hand im aware that things dont always go as planned and if there was a chance of somthing being wrong i wouldnt want her to be confused or upset by it.
What do you reckon, would you take your 7 year old dc?
