Pregnant. Keeping it from kids

[Fea]

My daughter is 32 weeks pregnant and still hasn’t told her kids. Partner doesn’t want baby and they don’t talk about it, well it’s a bit late now. My family know but his don’t. What do I do, I’ve tried everything I’m worried sick especially about kids, time is running out.

I can see why you're worried, that's a tough situation.

All you can do is to be there for her and support her when she needs it.
She is an adult and has to make her own choices - even if they don't seem logical or reasonable at the time.

this is a situation where i feel sorry fir all involved. just hoping it all works out so good you are keeping an eye on things xxxx

How old are her kids?

10 and 8.

Are you sure they haven't guessed? Those ages are old enough to realise mummy had a big tummy. Especially the ten year old.

I cannot believe for a minute that a 10 year old hasn’t noticed a 32 week pregnant bump.

Is her partner the dad of the other kids?
What worries you exactly ?
Baby will be born and siblings will get to know when it comes home.
Or is she planning to give baby up for adoption?

My daughter is on the heavy side and since other kids has always had a pregnant look which is why you can’t tell. Yes she is keeping the baby. How do you come home one day and say here is your sibling, I want to tell them myself but have been told not to.

Yes he is father to all 3.

That s what my parents did and i survived , oh here is your new sibling
Oh ok then go off and play
What else are you worried about? Pre or post natal depression? Finance? Housing?

What are her reasons not to tell then? I'd be very angry at my mum for not telling me such a life changing thing. Surely the children deserve time to process this and their emotions. What she's doing is very wrong amd very odd

What are her reasons?
I didn't tell me 3 DC I was pregnant until around 30 weeks. I'd a complicated pregnancy history including loss. I wanted to wait until I was fairly confident we had a chance of bringing the baby home. The 8 weeks they had to get used to a new sibling was plenty.
