Until I was 10 I believed that all babies were born by Caeserean section. My neighbor's mom told me otherwise and I was mortified! I ran home to tell my mother this disgusting story, which she, to my horror, confirmed - I had actually come out of her vagina, ewwwww!

I used to believe that giving birth must be a lot like pooping - you take a deep breath, push real hard, and something comes out!

I used to believe that babies came from the mother's belly button. This when I was 17 yet. Got it from "King's Row," a book by Henry Bellaman in which the kid characters talked about where babies came from. And I believed it!

when I was about 6 or 7, a frienf of mine told me that she knew how children werw born....as she had understood from her mother (who is a doctor!!!!), the doctor would enlarge the women`s belly button, take out all the pop inside her and then bring out the baby! and i believed her!!!!!

A friend of mine believed that children were born out by the ass.

When I was around 12-13 years old (old enough to know better) and discussing childbirth with my friend and her older teenage sisters, I revealed that all babies were delivered by cutting open the stomach. I was astounding to learn that babies were usually delivered vaginally. I was totally revolted by the idea, and my friend and the others teased me terribly because of my ignorance and embarrassment.

My Mother was pretty buxom when I was a child, and as was the fashion in the 50's, she wore low cut summer dresses that displayed a generous display of cleavage.

I asked often "where did I come from", all the while being pretty sure that babies originate in their mummies tummies, since an Aunt was pregnant.

How did they get out, was the question?

The little engineer in me for lack of better data, surmised that they must emerge kicking and screaming one day, from that bottomless cleavage.

One day my son (10) excitedly told me that he knew where babies come from. I was anxious to hear his response and was tickled when he told me that babies come out of there Mom's butts.

Until maybe I was in grade 6, I used to believe that babies "came out" through the anus. I think about it sometimes & laugh at my stupidity.

I used to believe that ALL babies were born via C-section...It never crossed my mind that babies would come out of the same place that urine comes out.

I used to believe that when it was time for a woman to give birth , she would swallow a rope , the baby would take hold,and the mother would then pull the baby out of her mouth .

I used to believe that all babies were born by c-section. My mom had a long scar on her belly from a gallstone surgery, but I assumed it was from giving birth.

i used to think that women get huge tummies because it means they are going to get a baby...n how the baby comes???well when the tummy is about to blow up God and the angels will come to her bed and leave a baby by her side...and angels will do magic and make her tummy flat again

To spare me the worry and anxiety of the truth about giving birth, my mother told me that when you had a baby, a place just under a womans belly button would open up and a baby would come out and that it didnt hurt at all. I believed that well after our very POOR sex ed class that didnt explain sex or babies at all, but merely ended up confuseing us all and forceing us to demand facts from our parents.

Until I was 6 or 7, I was convinced that babie's came out of their mother's butt. For a couple years after that, I was under the impression that their was 3 small round holes on the female anatomy, each having it own individual purpose...

I used to think babies came out of a woman's bottom, and can still remember asking my mum about it. She put me right and told me about the "front bottom". I would have been 11 or so at the time, quite naive for my age

I used to believe that babies are being born through a little hole between the bellybutton and the genitals, and that later the doctor stitches it. It was also only at the age of 10 I first heard about a thing called "period" and "masturbation". I remember I asked my mother what is it and when she started to answer me I got so embarrassed and said "Okay okay I get it!" before she even succeeded to complete her explanation.

when i was around grade 4 (or below), i used to believe that babies were born from their mum's belly that they just popped from the belly button when it's time.

I used to believe that babies came out of their mother's mouth like a small bubble.
