When did you tell your DC?

When did you tell your children?
Im only five weeks and high risk. I’ve had to tell my immediate boss in confidence due to the job I do.
My children are 7 and 8 and the last time I was pregnant my eldest was only 6 months so could leave explaining as long as possible!
this time I have no idea when to tell them!

I told my son about my last pregnancy at 11 weeks (for Christmas and had a private scan at 10+5 to check viability) he was so happy. But then I lost the baby at 14 weeks and I will never forget his scream cry and the heartbreak he went through. I'm currently 16+4 with this pregnancy and I will probably tell him if the 20 week scan goes well. He's 5.btw x

I'm not in your situation but I'd plan to wait until after 20 week scan

I told my kids around the 12-week mark, after the first trimester. It felt like a good time because the risk of miscarriage went down, and I wanted to give them some time to get used to the idea.

We told Goonies 1 and 2 about Goonie 3 when we were six months gone. It was in lockdown. They were 6 and 3 at time.

And yes, they hadn't noticed 😂

I told my then 5-year-old at around 12 weeks. I sort of wish I'd waited longer though as the remaining 28 weeks felt like a lifetime for him and I think he almost thought it wouldn't happen and then weirdly it was a shock when it did! Time passes slower for kids.

14 weeks
If high risk I'd wait until atleast 20 week scan
