How did you tell your teenage/school-age kids you’re pregnant?

Extra hug points if you’ve had to tell them after a pregnancy loss.

I am really struggling SO bad with how I’m going to tell my kids this go around after I miscarried in September. I have a 15yo and a 6yo and I’m currently 5w3d. I feel guilty keeping it from them, but I’m hesitant because in the back of my mind, I’d also feel guilty if I had to put them through processing another loss. I’ve been avoiding it, but typically my morning sickness kicks in around 6 weeks and my 6yo is already asking me why I’m taking “baby vitamins” and I’m definitely stalling by telling him “because they’re good for me” 🤦🏻‍♀️😩

I think I want to do something semi-creative or something that makes them feel involved and celebrated but I have the imagination of a brick right now 🥹
