When to tell daughter about pregnancy

Hey guys! So we found out I’m pregnant a few days ago - currently just under 5 weeks. We have a daughter who turned 4 last month. I’m looking for advice on when the right time to tell her might be?!

For extra context, during my first pregnancy, I had the most horrific HG throughout and spent a good proportion of the pregnancy in hospital and the rest pretty much bed bound - that’s likely to start again from any day now - so part of me wants to tell family and close friends asap so I can have at least a few days of positivity around it all before the difficult stuff kicks in (and I’m TERRIBLE at keeping my own secrets), but my partner feels strange about telling anyone before our daughter knows. But I’m also mindful of how early we are and that anything could happen yet… grateful for any experience or advice please! 🥰☺️

Postpartum Appetite

Did anyone else have a terrible appetite postpartum? My baby is 2 weeks old today and I am EBF, but I can’t make myself eat more than a few bites here and there, and I constantly feel nauseous.

Anyone else doing the NIPT test?

Saw my little gummy bear yesterday! I did prenatal testing so we'll know in about a week if it's a boy or a girl 🥰
