Lynn P. - great post and kudos for how you handled the situation of talking to your daughter.

My mom had no discussion with me about sex. I learned about masturbation through my SA. When I was 12 my mom told me about how I would have a period someday. - the rest I learned in middle school. In college I took 'biological aspects of human sexuality' and it was very informative.

When I was SA as a child at the age of 5 I feared that I was pregnant as I found out that babies come from the 'belly' and i pursued how babies are in the belly and she told me ? - don't remember what she said other than I asked alot of questions after I started being abused.

NOTE:
It's important that parents start giving their children sex ed at an early age (age appropriate according to the child's age of course - not just once in the child's lifetime but every so often).
The number one way to help protect your child from child abuse is to teach them about sex (start with the proper names of their body at an early age - this is your leg, hip, penis, your penis is your private area etc...). The majority of children who are sexually abused were never educated about sex (this is according to a former FBI agent that I met and he investigated sexual predators/sexual abuse crimes against children).
