Explaining a Caesarean to a Toddler

So, last night, I was talking to our DD (2.5) about her baby brother's birth. I explained that I would be very sore after the birth, because the doctors were going to cut my belly open right there (I showed her my old section scar) and lift baby out.

Toddler: listens with interest, prods scar, prods navel, prods belly
(This is the same toddler who'll go "ooh incy wincy PIDER" when she sees a real live spider and thinks all snakes are as funny as Ka from the Jungle Book.)

Husband: contorts face, pretends not to listen, and begs for less graphic detail

That's when I realised that my husband genuinely appreciates what I'll be going through to give birth to this baby safely.
