I have managed to keep my kiddos thinking that the doctor gets the baby out with no further questions on how yet. My 7 yr old thinks the baby is cut out but doesn't ask questions. I think he's terrified to know!!<br /><br />Shannon<br />www.joyblessedchaos.blogspot.comShannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07417367509242147283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-478151958144801061.post-61622357298078609162011-02-16T00:58:26.871-08:002011-02-16T00:58:26.871-08:00These conversations with our kids are far better t...These conversations with our kids are far better than any conversation with a grown up!

I had to cushion the blow a little with my daughter as well. She has watched shows with me that depict women birthing babies, and she has literally cried watching the pain they go through. So I have to tell her there is nothing to worry about, that the doctors take very good care of every woman and try to make it as comfortable as possible for them. I try to not focus on the pain when answering her questions, and while she does know that pain is involved, I make it a little less scary by explaining it that way.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14959290008811107597noreply@blogger.com
