Newly pregnant!

I currently have a 5 year old and she’s been begging for a sibling for years! Well we finally conceived! After trying for almost 2 years. I’m just wondering how long did you guys decide to wait to tell your little ones? I know my girl will be so happy I want to wait until first ultrasound but that seems so farrrr I’m terrible at keeping secrets I’m worried I’m gonna say baby or pregnant infront of her to many times by accident 😅 I told my fiance will just put in back of minds for now so we don’t spill but that’s a little hard obviously lol

I told my daughter when she was 3.5 literally the day after I took the test- I wasnt gonna worry unless there was something to worry about, shes now 5, my youngest is now 15 months and they have the cutest bond!

Yeah I’d wait until the first ultrasound, mine are only 3 and 1 and I found out about no.3 at about 13 weeks so got booked for an ultrasound pretty quickly at 14 then my fiancee told them, I would’ve waited as now my 3 year old is constantly asking if the babys coming tomorrow im so happy they’re excited tho also you might want to wait until your ready for other ppl to know as she might not be able to keep it to herself since she’s been wanting a sibling 😅

Sneak Peek?

Has anyone ever done the sneak peek test before and it was wrong? I just got my result today and it said boy, I’m only 9 weeks but did the early test, they say there always a chance of male dna contamination and I did mess up two steps but I made sure to sanitize everything , I just don’t know if I can trust it. I have my NIPT in a couple weeks where I’ll have verification but for now I’m wondering if this is a true boy result since I can’t be sure there wasn’t any male dna contamination.

Anyone else struggling with deciding when to have 2nd child?

Or if you already have then how did you know you felt ready/ it was the right time. My husband is ready to try in the next few months if I am ready but I really can't decide what age gap I want. I feel the decision for me is complicated by previous baby loss, difficult pregnancy and traumatic birth and complications after birth...
I definitely know i want a sibling for my child and I'm not done yet but its more a matter of when?!
