Sometimes he'll laugh and say "mommy, baby in your boobie?" And I'll say no baby in my tummy. Lol! But if asked what's in my tummy he'll always answer baby. Sometimes he also asks mommy what's baby name. We don't know yet so well ask him what do you want to name the baby. He doesn't know how to answer yet. :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-are-pregnant-with-your-2nd3rd4th#post-2329217 Wed, 21 Oct 2015 16:12:52 +0000 LadyPantaloons 2329217@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 3 year old understood the concept quicker than we expected, we should have waited a bit to tell her because the process is taking too long for her haha. She knows there's a baby in my tummy and there isn't one in her tummy so she can go in the hot tub. She also knows that her brother is coming at Christmas time and she will hold him and teach him how to kick and eat oranges (awwww). The sweetest is she says that when she grows up she will be a mommy and be with her baby, the nicest compliment I feel. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-are-pregnant-with-your-2nd3rd4th#post-2329194 Wed, 21 Oct 2015 15:59:40 +0000 bloved 2329194@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've told my son (2.5) and he will say there is a baby in mommy's belly, but I am not sure if he really gets what that means. Especially because sometimes he will say there is a baby in his belly too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-are-pregnant-with-your-2nd3rd4th#post-2329179 Wed, 21 Oct 2015 15:48:03 +0000 travellingbee 2329179@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He definitely gets it now but in the beginning he kept saying that baby was in my boobies. Weird. He's 2.5. He kisses my tummy all the time and says, "I love you baby/brother". He talks about when baby comes out and he likes to look at pics of me pregnant with him and talks about how he was in my tummy and came out and was a baby. :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-are-pregnant-with-your-2nd3rd4th#post-2329135 Wed, 21 Oct 2015 15:14:25 +0000 sera_87 2329135@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The 3 year old gets it, he got it when I was pregnant before too (at under 2). </p> <p>The 14 month old has absolutely no clue. </p> <p>We don't really talk about though and I don't look pregnant at all so it's not like it comes up at all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-are-pregnant-with-your-2nd3rd4th#post-2329100 Wed, 21 Oct 2015 14:57:29 +0000 Ree723 2329100@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't told either of my LOs yet as I'm still quite newly pregnant, but I would imagine my nearly 3.5 yr old will get it (and probably not be pleased!) and my 20 month old will probably just pat my belly a lot and say 'baby!' (She's a bit obsessed with babies so I think she's going to be ecstatic that there is a real one coming to our house!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-are-pregnant-with-your-2nd3rd4th#post-2329086 Wed, 21 Oct 2015 14:49:22 +0000 HLK208 2329086@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When DS was 3 he kind of, sort of got it. But he would still try to hop on my back or wrestle me! When he was 5, he definitely understood. He would sing to my bump! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-are-pregnant-with-your-2nd3rd4th#post-2328976 Wed, 21 Oct 2015 13:48:01 +0000 cheesetomywhine 2328976@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My three year old does. My 18 month old has no clue. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-are-pregnant-with-your-2nd3rd4th#post-2328975 Wed, 21 Oct 2015 13:47:38 +0000 KT326 2328975@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've been talking about TTC soon and now at 3.5 he is asking when I'm going to have a baby in my belly and if he is going to have a brother or sister. We had a friend who just had a baby which is how he knows babies grow in the mommy's belly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-are-pregnant-with-your-2nd3rd4th#post-2328965 Wed, 21 Oct 2015 13:42:11 +0000 Truth Bombs 2328965@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My almost 3 year old gets it. Her friends mommies all had their 2nd before I did so she has a concept that Baby A used to be in Miss J's tummy and now she is out. So my LO tells me all the time "Baby brother is in mommy's tummy, he's gonna grow bigger in there and then come out for my birthday". (PS, Dear God, please don't let him be born on her birthday) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-are-pregnant-with-your-2nd3rd4th#post-2328956 Wed, 21 Oct 2015 13:33:46 +0000 Alivoo01 2328956@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS is 2 and he sorta kinda gets it on a good day. At first, it was an epic fail when we explained it. </p> <p>DH was telling him about it while rubbing my belly so DS rubbed my belly, then kissed it, then hugged it. We were all like awww. Then, he patted my boob and asked baby? *facepalm*</p> <p>Then another time, he lifted his shirt and pointed to his belly and asked "baby?". Nope. Only mommy can have babies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-are-pregnant-with-your-2nd3rd4th#post-2328955 Wed, 21 Oct 2015 13:32:35 +0000 MamaBehr 2328955@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My five year old gets it. My 3.5 year old does as well, but he probably remembers when I was pregnant with my 22 month old. My 22 month old doesn't really. He points to my belly and says baby, but I don't think it goes beyond that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-are-pregnant-with-your-2nd3rd4th#post-2328942 Wed, 21 Oct 2015 13:27:46 +0000 erinbaderin 2328942@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 21 month old has grasped that there's a baby in somebody's tummy, but he seems to think that it's his. When I say anything about a baby he pulls up his shirt and points at his own stomach and says "baby!" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-are-pregnant-with-your-2nd3rd4th#post-2328834 Wed, 21 Oct 2015 12:35:42 +0000 Foodnerd81 2328834@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She is 27 months and kind of gets it. She knows there's a baby in my belly and her baby sister is "going to be so tiny!" (Said in the same voice I used when we met a new baby). But she frequently says she has a baby in her belly too. </p> <p>@lovehoneybee: sometimes I eat enough peanut butter that I feel like it's growing in my tummy too. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-are-pregnant-with-your-2nd3rd4th#post-2328831 Wed, 21 Oct 2015 12:35:03 +0000 birdofafeather 2328831@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yep, baby sister is in mama's tummy, but she's not ready yet, but she's going to come out in time for halloween to be baby margaret. (hope she's right!!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-are-pregnant-with-your-2nd3rd4th#post-2328825 Wed, 21 Oct 2015 12:32:44 +0000 fancyfunction 2328825@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, M is almost three and knows there's a baby. She points to my stomach, kisses it and says "hi baby." </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-are-pregnant-with-your-2nd3rd4th#post-2328819 Wed, 21 Oct 2015 12:29:53 +0000 lovehoneybee 2328819@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BandDmommy: But he's also (very seriously) informed me that he has peanut butter growing in his tummy, so... :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-are-pregnant-with-your-2nd3rd4th#post-2328811 Wed, 21 Oct 2015 12:27:37 +0000 BandDmommy 2328811@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lovehoneybee: That is! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-are-pregnant-with-your-2nd3rd4th#post-2328805 Wed, 21 Oct 2015 12:25:53 +0000 lovehoneybee 2328805@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, he likes to tell me that baby sister is growing big in mama's tummy, and that Santa is going to bring her home to him at Christmas. Last night he told me that when she gets big enough in my tummy Santa is going to bring her home and my tummy would get small again. I thought that was an impressive leap of logic for a 3 year old! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-are-pregnant-with-your-2nd3rd4th#post-2328803 Wed, 21 Oct 2015 12:25:42 +0000 BandDmommy 2328803@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@oliviaoblivia: B told me that the new baby can sleep in D's bed, but no monkeys, because they fall off the bed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-are-pregnant-with-your-2nd3rd4th#post-2328797 Wed, 21 Oct 2015 12:24:22 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2328797@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My oldest gets it. She knows there's a baby, that it's a girl and will come play with us soon.</p> <p>She also thinks she has a boy baby in her belly. </p> <p>So maybe not 100% on the concept. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-are-pregnant-with-your-2nd3rd4th#post-2328795 Wed, 21 Oct 2015 12:23:23 +0000 Mamasig 2328795@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 3 year old kind of gets it. If I ask him where the new baby is, he says in my tummy. My 17 month old has no idea. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-are-pregnant-with-your-2nd3rd4th#post-2328793 Wed, 21 Oct 2015 12:22:50 +0000 catomd00 2328793@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think she gets it but just repeats everything, but my 20 month old will point to my belly and say sister baby lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-are-pregnant-with-your-2nd3rd4th#post-2328785 Wed, 21 Oct 2015 12:19:18 +0000 BandDmommy 2328785@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you are pregnant with your 2nd/3rd/4th/etc child, do your other children know there is a baby in your stomach? </p> <p>My oldest (3 years old) gets confused and thinks that my boobs are two babies. He's also asked DH if he has a baby in his stomach. My youngest is 11 months and of course has no idea. :silly: </p>
