What to tell DS?(also in pregnancy)
Unless baby makes an appearance tonight, I'm going in to hospital tomorrow night to be induced on Monday and DH and I can't agree on what to tell DS.
Obviously he knows that baby is coming soon and that mummy will be going to hospital at some point to have him. I'm all for explaining to him that that's where mummy is going tomorrow night and tell him that he can come and visit the next day. OH thinks that if he is told that I'll be away all night then he'll be up every hour looking for me and won't settle. He never goes to his bed before 8pm so I can't just leave after bedtime either.
Can anyone give any advice?
He's two and a half and not usually a mummy's boy but does surprise us occasionally!
