How do I explain this to my 7 year old?

Question

I've been so sick I can barely get out of bed and throwing up constantly etc. we just told my daughter, I don't want her to think its baby making me sick so then she doesn't like the baby! Am I worrying about nothing? I also don't want her worrying about me being sick???
Any experienced moms have any advice??? My 7yo is technically my step daughter but i have raised her as my own since she was 3 bc her moms not in her life so just nervous all around about adding a member to our family.

Answer

My 8 year old got really worried when she saw me getting sick. I just explained that sometimes when you're growing a baby you get sick. I explained that as the baby gets bigger my body will get used to the baby and I won't get sick anymore! She took it all very good and has been very patient with me lol

Answer

You know her personality better than we do, but every one of my children have been nurturing and loving toward me and all the "stuff" that comes with pregnancy when they found out they were getting a younger sibling.....on #6 now. 😊
