DH and I think that if it's during the day that I'm in labour/giving birth it's probably best for DS to go to his Nan's house so that he doesn't witness my possible screaming etc.
He's 3 and a half and understands well that mummy has a baby coming and that I will be having the baby in the birthing pool which is set up already downstairs.
My predicament is how to explain to him about going to Nans without making him feel that we're sending him away. He loves going to Nans so i dont think it will be a problem but I just want to explain it properly. Any tips please?
