Hi,
I'm after advice on when to tell my almost five year old boy that I'm pregnant. We lost his big sister over six years ago and he knows she died but never met her or had to deal with intense grief etc. I'm now 14 weeks pregnant and struggling with my own emotions.
What did you do? When did you tell your child(ren), who haven't experienced pregnancy or loss first hand? I think it's too early to tell him now as we are so far away from birth and he doesn't deal well with anxiety. But then again, maybe it's better to tell him so he 'understands' the anxiety he can feel in the house. We haven't told our family yet as they're far away and I don't want to deal with their happiness or worries.
Thank you for reading

I have a five year old boy. He repeats everything, tells everyone everything etc so I don’t tell him what I don’t want repeated to everyone he speaks to...so I’d say wait until you’re ready to have him blurt out to everyone that “mama has a baby in her tummy.” Sending you courage and peace G.
