Telling the world you are pregnant can be a very exciting time for you to say the least. It's only natural to want to let those you love know the great news. Well, part of that excitement will also be sharing your pregnancy with your children. While older children will immediately know what being pregnant means, small children may not, leaving you with some work in explaining everything.

You'll need to take the time in helping your children understand they will be having a new baby brother or sister in the not too distant future. After you let them know you will need to keep tuned in to their reaction because this will be important.

Of course, all children will react differently. You may find that your child is upset with the news that you're pregnant, while others may be very anxious and excited. With my second pregnancy our 3 year old daughter was excited the entire pregnancy. She would pretend she was pregnant like mommy at times by putting a pillow under her shirt. It was definitely cute.

How do you handle some of the different reactions your children may have? Well, if they are happy and excited that you're having a baby then there is nothing more to do. But, if your child is distant or tells you they don't want a new baby, then you need to talk with them and sort through their feelings.

Ask them why they feel the way they do. You have to get to the bottom of their feelings. Do not just ignore them. They may be scared that you're not going to be there for them any more, or that you'll love the baby more.
