Telling 13 yr old ds

Hello all

I just wanted to know if anyone has been in the same situation as me and how you handled it.

I have a 13 yr old from a previous relationship. I was pregnant in Jan of this year and mc at 5 weeks. My ds asked me if I was pregnant on the Friday, and I told him the truth, I was going to tell him on the Saturday after we saw the doctor, I mc on the Monday.

He was so excited when he was told and devistated when we lost it. He is quite a sensitive boy and he had a low period that lasted about 24 hours but then bounced back, but those 24 hours were really awful. It was horrible having to deal with what I was going through and then having to be a shoulder for him. I also felt that he kind of blamed me. I think he needed to blame something. But I think he was also the reason I got over it as quickly as I did, having to be a mother makes you get out of bed in the mornings.

Okay, found out I'm pregnant again...woohoo....but I feel like i'm lying to him by not telling him.

So not sure what to do. Do I tell him now, he now knows the reality of pregnancy. But I'm not sure if he/I could handle it if anything went wrong. Not telling him is really really hard, and I really want to share this with him.

Thanks
