Girl mom question about 2nd baby introductions

We are expecting a son and we are nervous about introducing the “wrong” way.

Did other moms have success if so what did you do to prepare toddler (18 month old) for a baby sibling?

We had a bigger age gap but books about a baby in your belly
When the toddler visits you in hospital, make sure the baby is in the cot so they see you and introduce baby when theres some calm time

We got our eldest a present and told her its from the baby to say hello and she still cuddles it a year later

28, AMH 3.8 – embryo banking & choosing a clinic

Hi, I'm 28 and have recently found out my AMH is 3.8 pmol/L. My partner's semen analysis is good and I've conceived naturally before, although unfortunately it ended in an early miscarriage.
We've now been advised to consider IVF rather than continuing to try naturally for another 6 months because of my low ovarian reserve.
I've been offered either multi-cycle IVF, where embryos have to be transferred before another egg collection, or embryo freezing/banking, where I could potentially do a few collections and freeze embryos before starting transfers.
I'm leaning towards banking because we'd like more than one child and I like the idea of creating embryos from my eggs now while I'm 28, rather than potentially needing another collection several years from now.
I'm also finding choosing a clinic really overwhelming. I keep worrying that choosing the “wrong” one could affect our chances, especially with my low AMH. I'm comparing success rates, reviews, experience with low ovarian reserve, cost and travelling distance and just going round in circles!
Has anyone around my age with similarly low AMH been through this? Did you bank embryos first, and how did you decide which clinic to trust?
Would really appreciate hearing your experiences ❤️
