<p>Hey everyone,</p><p>I just found out I’m pregnant, and while I’m super excited, I’m also a little nervous about telling my 16-year-old son. I want to make sure I handle this conversation in a way that makes him feel included and heard.</p><p>For those of you who’ve been in a similar situation, how did your teenager take the news? Any tips on how to break it to him in a way that feels positive but also gives him space to process? I want him to feel like this is a change <em>we</em> are going through together, not something that’s just happening to him.</p><p>Would love to hear your experiences and any advice you might have!</p><p>Thanks so much </p>

I think your approach sounds really thoughtful already. Just being open and honest while giving him space to feel however he needs to is key. Maybe let him know he’s still an important part of the family and that nothing is going to change that.

Maybe frame it as something you’re sharing with him rather than telling him, like letting him know you value his thoughts and want him involved. That can go a long way in making him feel important.
