After 8 months of trying I’m finally pregnant with baby #2! I’m so excited and I would love to hear some tips on how to include my son in the pregnancy to get him excited about the new baby

How old is he? I had a massive gap and my son came to all my scans and stuff with me

My son was 3.5 years old when I had his little brother. He was my big helper. He came to some of my later appointments to see the ultrasounds, and hear his heartbeat. He helped pick out new clothes and items for baby. After baby was born, he would grab diapers and the wipes and would help (supervised) feeding his brother. They’re now 5 and almost 2.

how old is your son? he could help with picking out siblings things, read him books of becoming a big brother, show him things the baby will need… just about anything you can include him in, do it.

Build the crib. Open the gifts at the baby shower. Picking coming home outfit. Went to every appointment we got to see baby and hear heartbeat.
Depending on his age really my oldest was 13months when I had got pregnant with my twins but I would tell her babies are in mommies belly and took her to the Drs appointments with me let her pick out outfits and baby things and stuff for her that matched the babies stuff.
You could have your son pick out names and clothes
