re explaining to toddlers why she cant be present at birth

Hi i am current 7 months pregnant, and i am going to give birth at home, how do i explain to my 2 and half year old that that

Please help thanks

My Advice:

never had a homebirth but when i was heavily pregnant obviously me and my step daughter needed to talk about what would be happening whwn mummy has the baby as she was used to being with me 100  per cent of the time i told her that she will be going to stay at grampys house and he would take her shopping for the day and then she would be going to grampys for dinner and wil be sleeping in grampys big bed and i promised she could take some toys and some videos to watch and when daddy arrives in the morning you can come and see mummy and your new baby sis/bro which to eaxh thing i told her i followed through on and she was happy with that and she stayed with grampy had a lovely time and was extremely happy and glad to finally see her baby sister and she brought her a teddy and me a big cuddle and everybody was happy . I hope your plan works out as well as mine did and i hope this helps .
