Make it a fun announcement, play iI game with it, if they are older you could make cupcakes with one letter on each cake so they can solve it, or if younger buy little things for them to open so they can guess:-):-)

It also depends on your children's age, but you can always calmly explain to them that you are going to have another baby which means one ( or more!) extra sibling for them, then answer any questions they might have.

Be honest, cook a nice meal and invite them to join you. Right before you serve dessert tell them the wonderful news!

Just tell them. They are your children and won't hate you for that. But tell them carefully. Otherwise they'd feel over run or something.

Confirming that other children are acceptable, helps introduce another child into the relationship..

The kind of reaction you can expect depends on your kids' age and temperament, but my best advice would to tell them in a place they feel safe to express themselves and in a loving way. Let them know that their opinion matters to you.

Depends on their age. If they are young, telling them that will have a little brother/sister to take care of will work wonders. If they are older, explain that having a younger sibling will not at all reduce your love towards them, and give them baby-related responsibilty to help them enjoy the process.

How do your children interact with each other or with other children? If they can usually get along, then there should be no issues in giving them the good news! Just remember to assure them that you are still there for them no matter what.

Whatever you feelings on this new child, make the experience for your children a positive one. Think ahead of time of any and all ways the new baby will improve or enhance your family's life. Look on websites like youtube or baby specific sites for imaginative ways of making the announcement. Even if this child is unplanned, you can find positive ways to announce it. Keep it upbeat and light-hearted.
