Overheard conversation between children about childbirth .....

[MamaG]

DD 10 - I don't ever wnat to give birth. I'll either adopt of have a caesarean

DS 5 - a caesarean is harder though

Perhaps you should try and talk to your dd and make birth seem more positive.

My ds 3 shocked me the other day as I have just had a baby and he knew I went too the doctors to have her and asked me if he could see where the doctor cut me to get her out I had a vb so had nothing to show and didn't know how to answer the question that came next of well how did she get out?

I settled for changing the conversation I didn't expect that for a while yet don't know what to say next time though.

dd and ds1 used to argue about who came out of mummys door(cs scar) first.was sweet.dh joked i should have 'exit' tattooed above it

slushy I have talked to her, in broad terms, about giving birth in a positive light but at 10, she's a bit young for me to bang on about it. I remember at 17 saying to my friend that if I ever have children, I'll have a CS. OF course, when I did get pg, I was better informed

Yes obviously don't bang on about it. Then again it could be used to your advantage I mean if she is scared of birth she may never get a boyfriend. I know what you mean though my little sis who is nearly 9 is also scared of birth my mum left the tv on and there was a women giving birth and screaming and since then we have had endless questions.
