Mom to Mom
And ds WAS sleeping. He just happened to wake up during the part of the episode where lois was pushing out baby jesus, and now ds knows how babies come out. Lol. He explains it as "the dr puts his hand where your winky should be if you had a winky and it hurts and you go like this **clenches fists and squishes face** and the baby comes out". Kinda vague, but with him not quite 4 yet I don't feel the need to elaborate. Lol.
So how did you guys explain childbirth to a future older sibling?

We haven't really talked about it in detail yet.

I have chosen not to explain it yet, as my two are four and three. They know mommy is having another baby, but I haven't seen the need to explain how she will be entering the world to them just yet. I figure I will explain it to them when they are a little bit older. My husband will take over the talks with our son; I will manage them with our daughters.

Haven't gotten there yet. -
When they were little they thought they came from mommies belly. When they were older I told them the truth. -

Ds had been asking since we told him that he was going to be a big brother. Lol. He saw the scar from his c-section and said "im sorry I broke your tummy".

My ds will be 22 months when this one is born next month. I told him there's a baby in my belly and now he thinks tummys are called babies lmao. Anything I tell him about childbirth is over his head right now... -

My oldest was 4 when I was pregnant and I told him the truth. If I could have had a home birth and had him there I would have. I don't find it necessary to lie to them when they ask.
