The other night we were talking about my cousins new baby and saying the doctor helped get the baby out and she came through the birth canal was not good enough. He then declared babies get into your tummy through your mouth so that is how they get out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-the-baby-come-out-of-your-mouth#post-2800233 Sat, 27 Jan 2018 16:01:28 +0000 Mrs. Turtle 2800233@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm pretty sure O thinks babies come from CPS... We should probably work on that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-the-baby-come-out-of-your-mouth#post-2800217 Sat, 27 Jan 2018 14:34:54 +0000 turquoisemama 2800217@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@birdofafeather: Yep haha, she thinks it’s very interesting that mommy has fuzz... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-the-baby-come-out-of-your-mouth#post-2800179 Sat, 27 Jan 2018 10:18:48 +0000 birdofafeather 2800179@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@turquoisemama: 😂😂😂😂 Okay, I think *that* would embarrass me! 😂😂😂😂 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-the-baby-come-out-of-your-mouth#post-2800173 Sat, 27 Jan 2018 09:16:13 +0000 erinbaderin 2800173@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a c section, and have a photo of the moment they pulled my son out - the doctor holding him up, blood everywhere - that my son has seen. So the other day he said “Hey Mom, how many doctors were in the room when I was born?” </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-the-baby-come-out-of-your-mouth#post-2800172 Sat, 27 Jan 2018 09:03:06 +0000 jhd 2800172@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@nana87: then I guess I better get prepared for a more technical answer soon! 😂😂 they are so funny at this age but repeat every little thing we say, sometimes at interesting times! ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-the-baby-come-out-of-your-mouth#post-2800171 Sat, 27 Jan 2018 09:01:22 +0000 jhd 2800171@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@SweetiePie: LO has asked me a couple times lately what his nipples are. I think he forgets the word. Now he will randomly tell me “I want to see your nipples!” So hoping this does not ever come out of his mouth in front of others!! 😂 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-the-baby-come-out-of-your-mouth#post-2800170 Sat, 27 Jan 2018 09:01:20 +0000 nana87 2800170@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Anagram: I love the circular logic! And awww poor thing!</p> <p>@yoursilverlining: hahahaha </p> <p>@jhd: that was enough for lo1 for awhile, which is why her question took me by surprise so much! </p> <p>@ElbieKay: ooh I should check out that book, thanks! And that’s so sweet about the pics! I love their logic !</p> <p>@Kemma: haha </p> <p>@ShootingStar: lo1 has asked if our dogs came out of my tummy too!! 🤣</p> <p>@turquoisemama: @SweetiePie: 😂 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-the-baby-come-out-of-your-mouth#post-2800162 Sat, 27 Jan 2018 08:17:50 +0000 SweetiePie 2800162@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@turquoisemama: 😂<br /> My (at the time) 2.5yo told my DAD that I have “big big nipples” out of the blue as he was pouring his morning coffee. I was so embarrassed I was stammering about how they aren’t that big they are just bigger than his so he says they are big. My dad just nodded and walked away. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-the-baby-come-out-of-your-mouth#post-2800142 Fri, 26 Jan 2018 21:55:35 +0000 turquoisemama 2800142@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I’m 30 weeks pregnant and I’ve explained to my 3 yo that the baby will come out mommy’s vagina just like she did when she was in my tummy. We’ve looked at pictures of when I was pregnant with her too. But the embarrassing part is when she randomly announces that the baby will come out of mommy’s “fuzzy vagina”...she added the fuzzy part all on her own. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-the-baby-come-out-of-your-mouth#post-2800130 Fri, 26 Jan 2018 20:46:21 +0000 ShootingStar 2800130@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Man, I’ve gotten of really easy on this topic, lol. I told DS that both he and DD grew in my tummy and then the dr helped take them out (I had a c-section). He was fine with that and then said “Maddy (our dog) grew in your tummy too, right? 😂 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-the-baby-come-out-of-your-mouth#post-2800128 Fri, 26 Jan 2018 20:44:59 +0000 Kemma 2800128@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@nana87: my daughter refers to those areas as the “front bum / wees bum”, and the “back bum” but does know the correct-ish terms. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-the-baby-come-out-of-your-mouth#post-2800125 Fri, 26 Jan 2018 20:37:17 +0000 ElbieKay 2800125@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son is almost four, and we recently (like last weekend) told him about my pregnancy. I found an awesome big brother/sister book called Babies Don't Eat Pizza which is geared towards preschoolers instead of toddlers. It explains what a uterus is and shows a drawing of a baby and a placenta.</p> <p>Anyway, I showed him some ultrasound images from my appointment on Tuesday. The next morning he asked me if the doctor had taken the babies out of my belly to take the pictures! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-the-baby-come-out-of-your-mouth#post-2800110 Fri, 26 Jan 2018 19:23:13 +0000 Chuckles 2800110@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Anagram: and @mommyfinger: love these! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-the-baby-come-out-of-your-mouth#post-2800109 Fri, 26 Jan 2018 19:18:15 +0000 jhd 2800109@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO has had lots of questions lately but we are just focusing on mommy will go to the hospital and the doctor will help the baby come out. He’s been satisfied with that so far. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-the-baby-come-out-of-your-mouth#post-2800107 Fri, 26 Jan 2018 19:08:51 +0000 yoursilverlining 2800107@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My lo is 5 and knows that there are two options for birth: vagina or “a little cut” (c-section) and knows I had a c-section. (We haven’t gotten into adoption yet)</p> <p>She loves to super randomly, *loudly* inform everyone around us her preference for her future birthing. Like in the line at target, out of the blue: “yeah...I think I’ll have babies out my vagina. I don’t want a little cut.” :silly: well, ok then. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-the-baby-come-out-of-your-mouth#post-2800100 Fri, 26 Jan 2018 18:21:57 +0000 Anagram 2800100@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 4.5 year old has asked me and I told her, "the baby comes out the birth canal". And she asked, "what's the birth canal?" And I said "the place where the baby comes out". And she seemed satisfied with that circular logic.</p> <p>I don't mind telling her all the details, but another time she asked me to tell her the story of when she was born, and I mentioned that my tummy was hurting very bad and that's how I knew I had to go to the hospital. And she became fixated on the pain part and even started crying saying she never wants a baby because she doesn't want a hurt tummy. She woke up crying IN THE NIGHT about it, so I feel like I've traumatized her enough for now. I'll save the tearing vagina stories for later. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-the-baby-come-out-of-your-mouth#post-2800089 Fri, 26 Jan 2018 16:44:48 +0000 nana87 2800089@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mommy Finger: hahaha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-the-baby-come-out-of-your-mouth#post-2800087 Fri, 26 Jan 2018 16:39:31 +0000 Mommy Finger 2800087@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@nana87: DS1 is 5 and his daycare friend just became a big brother on Wednesday. He knows that you need an egg and a seed in order to grow a baby in mommy's tummy so I got the question last night as to how the seed finds the egg. I think I blacked out b/c I have no idea how I answered him! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-the-baby-come-out-of-your-mouth#post-2800085 Fri, 26 Jan 2018 16:32:48 +0000 nana87 2800085@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BadgerMom: lol!! I guess it makes sense? preschooler-logic!</p> <p>@birdofafeather: I wish I wasn't embarassed! I'm trying so hard to be sex-positive in my parenting and open, but even with my parents being pretty hippy-ish I was still a bit of a prude!</p> <p>@Foodnerd81: oh she def plays that she has a baby inside her tummy too! </p> <p>@looch: lol! </p> <p>@snowjewelz: that's good!</p> <p>@Mrsbells: yeah I forgot to warn her teachers today about our convo, in case she says "vagina" again at inopportune moments! Though we do say "vagina" when talking about bodies anyway (though "vulva" would be more correct...), I didn't used to and she called both her front and back her "butt" for the longest time haha. I didn't explain about c-sections to her since that seemed like more info than she needed, since she asked about how she and lo2 were born, but next time she asks!</p> <p>@Chuckles: lol! that would have been a good strategy, to make her guess! I love listening to her thought process! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-the-baby-come-out-of-your-mouth#post-2800084 Fri, 26 Jan 2018 16:29:09 +0000 MamaBear87 2800084@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: i haven't heard that one before. Currently laughing over here. </p> <p>My little is 2 and my good friend is pregnant. I'm curious what the girls, her first is also 2, come up with for where baby came from </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-the-baby-come-out-of-your-mouth#post-2800082 Fri, 26 Jan 2018 16:24:34 +0000 Chuckles 2800082@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My friend's daughter asked the same question and then tried to guess. Her daughter went through basically every body part (including elbow :) ) with her mom awkwardly saying, "Nooo." after each one, until her daughter finally incredulously asked, "out of your gina?" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-the-baby-come-out-of-your-mouth#post-2800080 Fri, 26 Jan 2018 16:23:52 +0000 Mrsbells 2800080@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@nana87: I had DS when DD was 4.5 so yes we had a lot of questions. She is still at the age (5) where she has no filter. so I wouldnt say the word vagina to her because she would yell it out randomly. since i had c-sections twice it was easy to tell her that the doctor cuts open my tummy and takes the baby out. she got to see my scar and everything. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-the-baby-come-out-of-your-mouth#post-2800079 Fri, 26 Jan 2018 16:23:16 +0000 snowjewelz 2800079@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My first is 3 and she knows baby grows in mommy's tummy and then you push it out :grin: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-the-baby-come-out-of-your-mouth#post-2800072 Fri, 26 Jan 2018 16:18:40 +0000 looch 2800072@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son informed me that I burped and that is how he was born.</p> <p>I didn't confirm or deny. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-the-baby-come-out-of-your-mouth#post-2800066 Fri, 26 Jan 2018 16:11:30 +0000 Foodnerd81 2800066@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just say I went to the hospital and the doctors and nurses helped me get the baby out. Luckily we haven’t had to get into specifics! </p> <p>But my 4 yo has started saying she ate a lot and her tummy got big and now there is a baby in it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-the-baby-come-out-of-your-mouth#post-2800065 Fri, 26 Jan 2018 16:11:24 +0000 birdofafeather 2800065@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we talk about it pretty openly with our DDs so while she may announce things about vaginas, etc, i really am not embarrassed about it. on the other hand, when DD1, who is 5, says "oh f*&amp;k it" i die inside. :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-the-baby-come-out-of-your-mouth#post-2800057 Fri, 26 Jan 2018 16:05:23 +0000 BadgerMom 2800057@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>HA! We had the exact SAME conversation with LO who also announced out of the blue that he came out of my mouth. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-the-baby-come-out-of-your-mouth#post-2800055 Fri, 26 Jan 2018 15:57:13 +0000 nana87 2800055@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've been talking about babies a lot lately with lo1, who'll be 4 in a couple months, because one of her daycare friends just became a big sister. Cue this adorable/awkward question:</p> <p>"Mama how did [lo2's name] come out of your tummy? Did she come out of your mouth?"</p> <p> :shocked: :silly: :grin: </p> <p>I wasn't expecting that at this age! I kind of giggled (my parents were over, adding to the awkwardness) and then explained that she came out of my vagina, but because I had laughed she then thought I was joking and I had to say "no, really..." which led to saying the word "vagina" in front of my parents way more than I ever wanted to say in my life :wink: Luckily she hasn't asked yet how one GETS a baby in her tummy, but I need to have an answered prepared better since she's so curious! </p> <p>Have you had the(/portions of the) birds and bees talk yet with your kiddos? Did they ask anything hilarious? Were you super awkward? </p>
