Childrens books on C-Sections?

I guess this is the best place to put this. I have a list of really good books I want to get my son when we start TTC to get him familiar with pregnancy and birth and me having a baby! hehe - A really good one, well I hope its good!, is 'Hello Baby' - which is about a mother having a homebirth!...I really hope for HBAC. But my son was born via C-Section. If he askes 'Was I born at home too mummy?' - I dont want to lie to him. I didnt want a section but his birth was magical as well. So perhaps a nice childrens story about babies born via C-section to make them sound just as special...or a book for children perhaps that show all different types of ways babies can be born?

Thanks

Hmmm... I haven't seen it "in person" but Special Delivery : A Book for Kids About Cesarean and Vaginal Birth is a children's book that addresses c/s delivery. It's on the ICAN website at http://www.ican-online.org/store/ind...products_id=13 or you can maybe check amazon to get reviews.

Could you maybe write your own c/s birth story for your older child? That would probably be more "special" to them... perhaps use an existing book for a template but fill it in with your own c/s birth experience (edited for young/sensitive kiddo of course!)
