Hi Kas!

I think it depends greatly on every child and how they are and how they would cope. Is your son generally impatient? If not you should be fine. My SIL is pg with twins (currently in hosp awaiting labour) and Paris has known about her pregnancy from day dot, she has not showed any signs of impatience at all. Now that I am pregnant we chose to tell Paris as she's very intuitive and would have figured it out in no time. She some how knows what a HPT is and is very cluey in all respects! The only reason I was hesitant about telling her was because if I miscarried I wouldn't want to devistate her iykwim. She is like your son and desperately wants a sibling. But then I thought long and hard about it and would rather she knew from day dot and was part of every experience from the US's to the OB appts, everything! This will more than likely be our last pregnancy, due to the fact it took us so long to conceive so I want to make it something we all remember. If you are concerned though, a few friends of mine waited until the 12-13 wk scan and made it a "family event" so that they could *see* the bubs and know it was there. Whereas Paris knows that already, we had a scan last week and couldn't have her minded in time and had to take her with us. She is soooo proud, loved it when she could see the baby and hear the heartbeat. She even has a copy of the scan pictures for herself. Every child is different, as is every parent and family unit as a whole I personally think its up to you

Goodluck with your decision!

*hugs*
