Hi all
I’m having an elective c section at the end of the year so on the planned date of the op, I’m planning to send him to preschool as normal that morning and have his gran pick him up. But do I tell him in advance that I will be having baby that day? He is 3 and I’m worried that if I tell him he will just worry and get upset during the day and especially that I’m not there in the evening. Not sure what good it will do him to tell him. DH will have to come home in the evening and look after him - it wouldn’t be unusual for me to be away for a night anyway so we could get away without it being strange to DS1. Then maybe next day tell him and take him into the hospital to meet his new sibling?
Would really appreciate advice on how other ladies handled this situation. Thank you!
