How to tell your kid you're pregnant: An age-by-age guide —
When I imagined telling my firstborn that I had a baby in my belly and that he was going to be a big brother, I envisioned an excited squeal, a heart-melting hug and a ridiculously sweet family moment.Yes, that’s what my then-three-year-old said when I broke the big news to him. I stifled an urge to laugh, and then froze.
Since it’s hard for toddlers to fully comprehend that you’re growing an actual human being in your body, it’s generally a good idea to wait until you’re showing a bit, likely around that 12-week mark. That might mean keeping a lid on the baby news so your child doesn’t overhear you talking about it with someone else. Still, when you do tell your firstborn, make sure you’re ready for everyone from your next-door neighbour to the guy behind the fish counter to know you’re expecting.
A word of warning: Expect a little—or a lot—of back and forth in terms of being onboard with this whole sibling thing. “Your preschooler might be excited one minute, making elaborate plans for when the baby is born, and angry the next, not liking the way things are changing,” says Huebner. “Never tell your child that their feelings aren’t nice or welcome.
