giving birth

I used to think that women didn't have vaginas so a baby would come out of their belly buttons. I thought this for a few years, and then my mother told me that babyies were fed from the mothers belly button when a women was pregnant. That made me think that the baby would be eating out of a small tube in their mother and then all of a sudden it would be sucked into the tube and end up outside of the person.

I used to think that babies came out of the same place that poo did, and that women couldn't go to the toilet when they were pregnant in case the baby came out...

Pranks and jokes are a natural way of life for my family. When my mom was a little girl, her mom gave her the customary "where babies come from talk", only she changed the story a bit. As a result, my mom spent her childhood years believing that you had to "poop" your baby out, if you get what I mean... Years later, when it came to my own lesson, my mom couldn't resist adding her own touch to it as her mom had done before her. Embarrasingly enough, it was my belief for many years that babies, (which my mom kindly informed me came out the size of a large watermelon,) had to be pushed out through your bellybutton!! I never did have much respect for that particular body part after that, nor did I ever eat another watermelon!

at the age of maybe 4-5 i thought that girl would only have an anus and no vagina.
So I thought that every had to be cut out of the stomach...

When I was young I was told the reason doctors smacked all babies on the backside was because the dicks fell of the dum ones Now that I am older I know it is true

My mom always told my sister and me that mermaids had babies out of their mouths: they would blow a bubble with the baby inside and then the doctor would burst the bubble.

I used to think that when a woman was having a baby, they had to cut her stomach open to get the baby out.

I used to believe that a woman would have her baby through her belly button!
I was upset when I found out after birth, a belly button wasn't useful!

I used to think that you had to physically hold the baby in with your muscles. So, when you are holding your pee, then you get to the toilet, you have to let go right? Well, I couldn't figure out how they managed to go to the bathroom without dropping the baby in.

Also, my mother had a miscarriage before me, and I pondered whether this was what had happened

When I was little, my mother was explaining how baby's grew inside a little sac (the uterus) until they were ready to come out. I thought that when babies were born, they came out in a little sac, like one that looks like a grocery bag. I always asked my mom "so do they throw away the bag after?"

I used to think that babies came out of your mum's belly button - I used to imagine the belly button opening up and a baby jumping out! Eventually I realised that other parts existed for that...hehe

When I was younger, my mum told me that babies came out of your belly button. One day ni school all the girls were talking about 'when babies are born' and they all started giggling like mad. Me, as stubborn as I am, stood up and said ''what are you laughing at. Whats so funny about a bellybutton'' Now, this really increased the laughter volume!!

When i was little, I had a friend over. Out of no where, sah asks my mom how babies came out of a mommy. Well, my mother knowing it wasn't her job to tell her the WHOLE story simple said that they came out of the belly botton. Until about 4th grade, my friend never knew the truth!

My little brother used to believe that if a baby was born in canada it would be white, if it was born in africa it would be black, etc...

When I was in the fourth grade or so a friend and I were in a very serious discussion about how a baby was born. It was very confusing since we knew the baby grew in the mothers stomach and came out between her legs. We concluded that the baby had to pass through her entire small and large intenstine and that was why labours were so long and painful. But there was also the matter of the baby being digested while being born. I then realized that the baby grew in the mothers womb and that was what protected it from being hurt from stomach acid and what not!

I used to think that when someone had a baby the doctors ripped it out of your stomach and if you had a seasection that made you sit on a toilet and crap it out
