i am 34 weeks pg, hoping to have home vbac. Pondering how/what to tell son age 6 about giving birth... not wanting to do 'facts of life' conversation with ds as think unnecessary at moment. BUT, he's aware that i had a c section with him, has seen the scar and understands that it's from when he was born etc, that it didn't hurt me to be cut open because of anaesthetic etc, so he's relaxed. but obv with home labour & birth he will possibly see me in pain, and obviously its a diff process which he will ask questions about. don't want to frighten him but want to be able to answer his questions honestly and in a way he can understand. sorry if i'm waffling... is it reasonable to explain that as well as a weeing hole (can't think of better word?) and a pooing hole, mummies have another one for babies to come out of? what do i even call it? i have no idea what the current fashion is? if he happens to repeat to anyone else that "my brother was born from mummy's vagina" is that weird?
i'm not feeling neurotic about this just be interested to know how others have dealt with this?
