Having to think quick on her feet, this was probably not the best of explanations but the topic was never mentioned again. Having said that, once she starts school, I expect it will come up again for greater analysis. Anything with "magic" attached to it seems to satisfy beautiful, innocent minds, so I am happy for her to believe that for now. As for how it got there in the first place, my explanation was that the mummy and daddy have a "special cuddle" after which God puts a little baby in the mummy's tummy to grow and love. Again, sometimes the simplest and most innocent of explanations are enough Funny, my 4 year old is curious too, having a friend who was pregnant and when she asked her how the baby came out my friend told her the doctor opens a special magic door to get the baby out.

Hopefully one of your kids ask first and you can give me a couple of pointers! It’s just a matter of time, I have no idea how to deal with the “how are babies made” question.

She didn't ask a thing about how the baby got there in the first place! ;-) It’s true, that’s a whole other story. She didn’t ask a thing about how the baby got there in the first place! ;-)

As I told the story to a friend mine, she just said "thank got she did not ask how the baby got in!" My nearly-3-year-old girl asked me the same thing, and I answered almost the same way you did.

(I didn't want to mention cutting, because I thought that sounded too scarey) I also told them that it is hard work to get a baby out & my belly and I will very tired for a few days, and they'll have to be extra gentle with me. They seemed to accept those explainations (they are 4 and 2 1/2) but check back with me in a couple of weeks if you want to know how it really goes. We also visited an empty hospital room so that the environment won't seem so intimidating & I talked with them about the IV.

Things like... "can the baby see the food in your tummy?" or "can the baby see your bones?" or "where does the baby do a poo inside your tummy?". He's also asking a lot of questions about how the baby comes out. Things like "will your tummy break when the baby comes out?". I decided to be honest with him about everything. I brought out some of my baby books and showed him photos. But I never told him that it will hurt me. I never mentioned pain. I don't want him to be scared for me!
