Telling older siblings?

Question

I have my first scan tomorrow and plan to reveal the new baby to my 5 year old daughter tomorrow night. She's a very inquisitive child and I know she will want to know how it got there 😂 anyone have any ideas on how to explain it to her without getting to deep into body parts etc

Answer

I have a 5 year old as well. We did use the correct body part names (we've always used the word vagina, we don't use pet names for genitals). We were a bit vague and gave her a general 2 sentence explanation which she seemed happy with. I told a daddy puts his penis in a Mommy's vagina and the baby grows in there. She asked me how it got out, and I told her I pushed the baby out of my vagina. She giggled, said "gross", and went and played her her room. Since then she's asked a general question here and there, like how does the baby eat and stuff like that but for the most part she was happy with our explanation.

Answer

We told our son and he actually didn't ask that question. But at any rate I would have told him that mommy and daddy wanted another baby and baby's grow there and eat what I (mommy) eat till they are big enough to come out, and for us that will be around dec 3rd. But just keep it simple and age appropriate
