Explaining pregnancy to a 3y/o
posted 18th Nov
I'm 11wks and my son has slowly warned up to the fact that he's going to be a big brother. This morning, my son asks me "mommy, how did you get you baby in there? Did you swalloded (swallow) it?"
I seriously couldn't say anything but laugh and say "no Brandon"
I don't plan on explaining it to him if he doesn't ask again. But I want to be prepared if he does. What would you say?

Lol! Idk, maybe something like you & daddy love each other very much & decided to have another baby together, so he gave you a special kiss? Haha.

Are you religious? You could say mommy and daddy prayed for another baby so God put one in your belly.

Or you could just tell him the baby is growing in your tummy and leave it at that.

My kids are 4 and 8 and will be 5 and 8 1/2 when this baby is born. I did not go into the birds and the bees with them. We jokingly told them I swallowed a water mellon seed and laughed it off. They don't usually press us for details if we're silly about it.
I don't think you need to explain anything to him.

Lol! Um idk... I wouldn't want to go straight to sex though that's for sure.

That's a good one, my some is alittle more of a "but why/how" kind of kid and will seriously press me for details!

My son is also 3 and he has yet to ask me HOW the baby got in there, he seems to be more interested in how it's going to get out - he asked me if I was gonna eat him so he could go in and get the baby out.
