Hi - new to this though not new to motherhood! My son is just 9 and we are (only just) pregnant with no.2. We've been discussing when to tell ds the news. On one hand he's old enough to tune into the fact that something's wrong if anything DOES go wrong (touch wood it won't!). On other hand, I don't want to tell all and sundry till I'm good and ready - is it fair to tell ds before then and expect him to keep a (nice) family secret for a few weeks - or should he be free to run around telling everyone as soon as he knows? He's very emotionally mature for his age and very bright.
Just wondered what others have done in a similar situation? Thanks.
