It is extremely important that you involove your step child in as much as you can with your pregnancy, this includes letting her know about the pregnancy when you feel comfortable to let her know, we chose to tell the boys when we told everyone else as we didn`t want them to find out along 'the grapvine', we did keep the name a secret as it was kept a secret from everyone until he was born, I showed the boys pictures of the baby`s development on the net when they were with us, each time we saw the boys I told them how develop the baby was now eg size, hearing, eyes open etc. The younger one was always worried about the health of the baby as he was a sick baby himself due to RH negative mother so I always had to reassure him that his baby brother would be fine.
I am pregnant again with #2, again the boys are very excited, but I can`t stress enough how important it is to involve your step child in as much a possible with the pregnancy.
