I used to think that when a women gave birth that you would sit up on a tabele, life up your shirt, and the doctors would cut a circle in your stomach and then the baby would climb out of her stomach, then the doctor would simply just place the peice of the moms belly back on and it would be back to normal.

I used to believe that babies were originally baby birds. The parents would have to climb a tree and grab a random bird from a nest and train it to be human!

Until i was 7,I believed that the stork actually delivered babies.

I was a very stupid kid....

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 .

My Mum told me that baby's came out "between your legs". I had this vision of half the baby coming out of the right leg and the other half out of the left leg. I couldn't quite figure out how that happened. Then a friend's Mum told me baby's came out of your bum and I was so annoyed at my Mum for lying to me!!

I used to believe that the reason you had to stay in your bed when you were near giving birth was that if you went to the bathroom the baby would fall out of your butt into the toilet and would have to be fished out.

since my niece knows that women have babies in hospitals, she believes that they go there stand on line and wait to pick out their babies

I used to think that women gave birth to little girls and men gave birth to baby boys. My sister thought the same thing, but our parents never told us this. We think it's because we had these Barbie doll type dolls where the dads came with boys and the moms came with girls!

My friend convinced me when I was about six that the way we got hair on our heads was that as we came out our mothers vagina that her pubic hair got stuck to our heads... Too bad if you mum had a brazillian!!

When I was little, like 5 or so, I thought that when a woman was having a baby, every time she went to the bathroom she pushed a little and the baby came out a little, and it took a while like days for it to be born all the way. I don't know what I thought, maybe that she would walk around with a baby hanging out of her or something, but hey, I was 5!!

when I was really little, my mom told me that babies came from eggs. I had an image in my mind of a giant chicken egg, thus why a pregnant lady's stomach was so round. I asked her if my shell was hard or soft, did the yolk spill when the doctor cracked it.

I was 5 when my mom was pregnant with my sister. She used to tell me that the stork brought the babies to the hospital and that the hospital roof would open up and that was how the stork delivered the babies. She told me that her belly was full of gas and that when she went to the hospital the doctor would fix it and give her a baby.

I used to believe that ALL babies had to be cut out of their mommies tummies (like a C-section), and was terrified to have children because I didn't want to have my tummy cut open.

when i was a kid i used to think 'labour day' was a day that every mother gave birth on. then i got confused as to how people had different birthdays. so i decided that 'labour day' was a day to celebrate child birth. it wasn't til i was about 8 before i realised what labour day actually was.

Seems that many people had my same belief, but it used to really fill me with fear. I too believed that mothers pooped their babies out, but they did so while sitting on the toilet. I always used to worry about the babies drowning in the water and wondered how the mothers were fast enough to clean themselves and also save their babies.

when I was little and asked my Mom how the baby got out of a lady's tummy, she told me that ladies have a "special hole" for the baby to come out of. I thought that the " special hole" was your belly button!

A few years later, my little sister saw my Dad's belly button and thought that he was pregnant!-she must have used the same logic!

This is how I pictured birth in my mind as a child: The expectant mother would go up on a stage in front of a large audience. A big red curtain would open so that the audience would see the expectant mother naked and squatting over a five gallon bucket. She would push the child out into the bucket and the audience would applaude.

When I was little every movie and t.v. show I watched in which a woman gave birth, they always showed the process happening really fast. The woman's water breaks and BAM, 5 minutes later a baby. So not knowing any better, I really though that labor only lasted about 5 to 10 minutes. So whenever I would see a pregnant woman, I would always hope she'd go into labor right there so I could get to watch and see the baby. Never happened though. But it wasn't until I was about 13 that I learned labor in fact is usually MUCH longer than 5 minutes!

I used to believe that blue babies were babies who held their bereath too long. My best friend told me she and her dad were born blue, her sister was purple and her mom was green. I looked at baby pics of myself and told her I was pink.
