They sort of started the conversation themselves about a little sister or brother. Well, the younger one will just be happy and glad. But the older one has a curious mind, he'll have 100,500 questions. How everything was done, how it all turned out. I'm a bit worried, I don't know how to tell them all this. )))

Watch the cartoon "Princess" about a little brother with your child. Everything is explained in simple terms.

When we told our son, he was upset) Then he was fine, he got used to it) Then he got upset again when it turned out to be a girl) he wanted a little brother) he even cried in his bed at night) but then he accepted it and was really looking forward to his little candy)

Take your time. You still have time before your first screening to mentally prepare yourself and prepare the children. When everything is clear, then you can tell them.

I'm planning to bring them to my 16-week ultrasound so we can find out the gender together. That way, there won't be any "Mom, we want a sister, not a brother." They'll just have to face the facts – a baby of a certain gender is coming.

I'm just worried they'll spill the beans to the grandmas. My husband and I don't want to tell them anything at all. Ideally, I wouldn't tell them about the third one until they're 18. Too bad that won't work.

Natalya When I was pregnant with my second son, my youngest was 4 and it wasn't very noticeable. But now he sometimes watches these smart videos by some ZagdField... he scalded my hand with oil, and I was like 'Mom, it's a first-degree burn, don't pop the blister, the fluid protects the skin'... I almost fell out of my chair!)

Anna Klyuchevskaya No way. I wouldn't bring my kids to the ultrasound appointment... they'd wreck the place!

Anna Klyuchevskaya Well, they can sit in the hallway with my husband and only come in when we're looking at the floor.

Ruzanna Well, that's understandable.
Until I pass my first screening, I won't tell anyone. But my sons love to jump on me, so I constantly have to slow them down and tell them my belly hurts so they don't jump.

Are you afraid of questions about sex?

Anzhela Seems so. I don't know how to tell it right. Not exactly as it is though)))

Anzhela I said that dad planted the seed. There were different versions of how – my daughter even suggested some herself, and I just had to agree or disagree :)
There was one about a kiss. Then she said that mom and dad sleep together. I haven't explained the pure physiology and won't until I feel the time is right

I told him when my son had already driven me crazy and was tearfully asking for a brother. I replied that there would be a sister in April. He was confused for a long time, how it would be in 6 months if pregnancy lasts 9. Then I showed him the 3D video from the first screening. Well, he asked questions, and I answered as best I could. There's no escaping this.

My husband and I thought long and hard about whether to share the news or not.
We decided to tell people closer to 18-20 weeks.
Our eldest daughter was very vocal, saying "No, I don't want a sibling." ... Well, turns out she cried when she held her baby sister at discharge, and now she won't let her out of her sight. She calls her "my favorite, my golden child, etc."

I simply told my son I was expecting a baby. He was very worried that I was constantly sleeping and lying down, so I told him sooner than I planned. My husband told our daughter when I was hospitalized.
Of course, there are many questions, especially from the younger one. We're answering truthfully.

Tanya What truth are you referring to? I am preparing them, of course... both of them, little by little... it's not like dad and mom are drawing blueprints at night)))

I haven't told my 6-year-old yet. We'll say something closer to the second screening, that there's a brother or sister growing in my belly

Tanya truth according to their age. That for a baby to be conceived, you need an adult woman and an adult man. And they have to be/fall in love.
They know about egg cells and sperm. They haven't asked about the pathways for sperm to reach the egg yet. But they have a book. They can read up on any questions they have there if they don't want to ask us.
