Hi - my daughter is 3.5 and she came with me to the doctors when I had my second pregnancy confirmed. So she knew right from the start. She seemed to forget about it for a while and when I was about 10 weeks we started telling everyone and now we know its a boy, she tells everyone that her mummy has a baby boy in her tummy.

I'm happy for her to know and if anything had gone wrong earlier, then she has the 3 year olds version of dying and heaven so I think she would have accepted that.

Although, I think this baby will have a lot to answer for when he arrives - as mummy is not allowed to yell, run, pick up too many toys because of the baby!

Barb.
