how can I told my daughter of 6years old that I'm pregnant.?

Question

She nows that baby gifted by God to doctors, so we can buy a baby from a hospital. She so innocesent that I can't tell her whole truth, but my problem is that I don't want hide any truth for her future shake. Pleeeeeees help me.

Answer 1

She is old enough to know the truth.No more babies bought from the hospital.Of course she is innocent - every 6-year-old child is innocent.If she knows the truth it won't harm her mentally,don't worry.Just tell her that the baby grows up in your belly,that you and your husband make the baby.A 6-year-old is able to understand the explanation about the sperm and ovum.And better hurry up because she will soon hear it from her schoolmates who have older brothers and sisters.

Answer 2

She is 6! You would be surprised at what a 6 year old knows already! You need to talk to that child like another person not a baby. There is no need to tell her fairytales about it. If you tell her all of those tales she will not understand why you are sore or have to stay at the hospital for so long. Just get a baby doll and start playing with it with her and explain that it is like a baby brother or sister and that you have one in your belly right now getting ready and getting strong so it can come out. There are numbers of books dealing with the subject (Not for you...Kid geared books)...Here is some info I found!

Mommy Is Having A Baby!

Preparing for a new arrival from the beginning of your pregnancy is the best way to familiarize your children with the lifestyle changes a new baby brings. Involving young children as your body grows and changes will build the anticipation of meeting the newborn.

How you involve your children will depend on their age. Here are some ideas to help your family prepare for a new baby:

Explain how babies are made and grow inside their mothers. There are several great books out that will help even little ones understand. Your toddler will wonder about things like where the baby is and if the baby can hear and see him. We think you'll like these picture books for new big brothers and sisters:

Mommy's Having A Baby by Camille Liscinsky

On The Day You Were Born by Debra Frasier

Being Born by Sheila Kitzinger

Show your child pictures of himself when he was a newborn. Take him with you on prenatal visits and to visit the hospital or birthing center. Explain what the ultrasound is and point out the baby and how he moves. Let him listen to the baby's heartbeats and then have him listen to his own.

Explain how small and delicate a newborn baby is. Many moms have found that giving a lifelike doll like the Chou Chou baby to their child helps them practice holding and caring for the new arrival. Our favorite Chou Chou is 19 inches with a weighted body - the size of a real baby and her eyes close when she's laid down to sleep.

Be ready to answer questions that are likely to be asked by new big sisters and brothers, like "Why does the baby cry so much", "Why do babies sleep all of the time", "When can we play together" and "Am I still your baby". Your child is looking for reassurance that that the new baby you've talked so much about will not take his place.

Have your child help prepare for the new baby. You'll be busy painting the nursery, picking out bedding or layette items and it's the perfect time to ask your little one to help. Whether it's folding clothes, selecting a paint color or arranging stuffed animals, little things like this will go far in making your child a part of the excitement.

Understand why your child may be jealous. Not only will the immediate family be captivated by the baby, but even casual friends and strangers will be fascinated and make a fuss. Listen to him when he feels sad or says he wants to be a baby again. It's his way of expressing to you how his world has changed and how it's making him feel.

Best of luck! Congrats!

To be honest I'm a little cofused by the question...? Why would you have a hard time telling a 6 year old that mommy is pregnant?? My daughter was 2 years and 2 months old when I found out I was pregnant - and she was the FIRST person to know other than myself and my husband. I just told her that mommy is pregnant! That means there is a baby growing in mommy's tummy! Right now the baby is very, very small (and I would cup my hands together). But the baby is growing every day and soon you will have a baby brother or sister! I also explained that she used to be inside my tummy too, before she was born. She has seen pictures of herself as a tiny infant....she knows that she was once small and has now grown... Children are able to understand a LOT more than we give them credit for. My daughter understood in her own way from day one and any questions she had were answered as honestly and as simply as I could possibly make them. But I did not lie or make up stories. She was happy and excited about it. I talked to her about it every day, saying how we had to be careful around mommy's tummy, etc.... There was never a problem. She would give my tummy hugs and kisses and talk to her baby brother inside. And when it came time to deliver (it was by planned c-section) we told her what was going to happen: Mommy and daddy are going to the hospital and the doctor is going to help us get your baby brother out of mommy's tummy! In a few hours, grandma will bring you up to the hospital to see him! It was a very exciting time in our lives, I don't see why you would deny that excitement to your six year old?!? Why fill her with nonsense over buying babies from doctors or whatever it was...? That makes no sense to me but to each their own!
There are LOTS of children's books out there as well about welcoming new siblings into the family.... Visit your local library or look online.... Your daughter deserves the truth and she is old enough for it.

Answer 4

i think you are stressing over this a little too much. my parents had my sister when i was 6. they waited till she was pretty far along - i had no idea - and then just told me that they had some good news...i was going to have a little brother or sister of my own! i was so happy. they said the basic...there is a baby in mommy's tummy and she'll go to the hospital and the dr's will take it out. At 6 you don't need to give any detailed answers.
How did the baby get in your tummy? That is where God puts them to grow.

Congratulations. SD

Answer 5

It's easy just tell her she's going to have a sister or brother. She will be very happy, children don't think that young about the facts of life. She will just be happy she will be having someone to play with. I told my little girl when she was 14 months old and she liked to hug my tummy and I let her name her sister. It was a beautiful experience for her and me. It can only lead to good to tell her.

Answer 6

You may just tell her that you will gift her a sister/brother in near future to play with.

Answer 7

Tell her that her brother or sister is there in yur stomach. AS the child is very small, you are keeping him/her in your stomach and you will take him out when he/she is litttle grown up may be the date of expected delivery may also be told.

But, if she wants puppy instead of brother or sister, i cannot help.

Answer 8

Just tell her she is going to have a brother or sister. If she asks you questions about it, then answer truthfully. If she doesnt ask you dont have to tell her everything right off the bat.

Answer 9

Tell to ur Daughter . I am carrying ur brother. now ur lonely. if u get one more brother u play with him for that iam carrying ur brother. he will come out aftersome days now he is sleeping there like that u told ok da

Answer 10

Relate to her how you were and how you felt when you were carrying her.then proceed to tell her how lucky you are now because you have her now to help,draw her in,make her a part,tell her how she can help.
