Pregnant with dc2 going to booking in appointment with dd 4

I am pregnant with dc no2 we have a 4 year old dd and have my booking in appointment at the hospital and will have to take her with me. We weren't going to tell her about the pregnancy until the 20 week scan. Any suggestions on what I could say to her about going to the hospital or do you think I should just tell.

Also by the time no.2 arrives dd will be 4.7 and will have started reception any one else have a similar age gap and how did it work for you?

Any advice welcomed and thank you in advance

Hmm that's a tricky one. Is there nobody who could look after her for you, or could you rearrange the appointment for a time when someone could be available to help? Could your partner take time off work and look after dd? (She'd obviously know you were going to an appointment but you could just pass it off as a boring routine check-up and not have to mention the pregnancy).
