i thought that babies came out of the same hole girls peed out of. therefore, i thought it was possible to get pregnant via oral sex. i actually believe this until i was really old, as in, 13 or 14! my friends laughed and laughed at me when i told them.

I used to think that babies were born with clothes and maybe a little play toy

When I was younger, I asked my mother where the baby came out. She obviously didn't want to get too graphical and said from the same place you pee from.
I had never thought of questioning this. Then one day I went bright red when my friends told me the truth!
how could I have been so dumb?

Thanks mum!

I used to beleive that when a woman had a baby, it came out of hear anus and a man could have babies too. Pretty disgusting really.

I was born by C-Section, and I had always known how that worked, so assumed that all babies were born by C-Section. When I was 5, my friend's little sister was born (vaginally) I wanted to go and watch so I could watch because I wanted to see her mom's insides.

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 a little kid i used to belife that babies came out of a persons belly buton.

At 5 years old, I understood the basic concept of making babies, but I thought that the daddy's sperm went up the pee hole and into the stomach somewhere, and I didn't realize there was a third hole down there. So I assumed all babies had to be cut out of their mommy's stomach.

When I was about 6, I asked my Mum when people had babies, and she answered "when they get married". For quite some time after that I thought that babies appeared from nowhere the minute you were married - sex, pregnancy and childbirth were non-existent! Things appeared so much simpler in childhood!

Jo

I thought women gave birth through some separate passage (not the vagina) that appears and opens up on the front of the belly, and closes and disappears after. I thought this because I know babies came from their mummy's tummy, and some misleading info from my mum, something about a 'cave' opening up...

Citrusponge (hihihi)

When I was 3 years old, I gave my mom a crystal-like thing when she was in hospital and prepared to give birth. I told her that if she brings the 'lucky stone' with her when she was giving birth she will born a baby girl because i wanted a sister so much. But she gave birth to a baby boy instead and i was angry because she didn't bring my stone with her.

I saw a mother giving birth on TV when I was 4.That's when I started to believe that babies were actually born from a woman's butthole, and it's also very dangerous for a pregnant lady to poo ...because when a pregnant lady has a bad case of constipation, she might accidentally poo her baby out.

I used to think that a turkey baster was for giving birth. I don't know why I did, but I did. So needless to say I was horrifed when a family friend gave my mum a turkey baster for her birthday (at the end of October).

Nikki

i used to believe that when a girl was pregnant, if she went to take a poop, the baby would fall in the toilet.

I used to think when I was about 5 that when you gave birth the baby would come out of your tiny pee hole and not your actual vagina. I was so scared of having a baby that I literally considered becoming a nun when I was only 5.

Anon

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.

Jane

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.

Sara

Till when I was in my 12th grade, I used to believe that babies come from the butt! And there was a big fight between my friend and me regarding this, until he finally took me to a classmate of mine (girl) and she explained me with blushes. I too had to accept with much embarrasment.

bm

When my friend was younger, she asked her (prudish) mother where she'd come from and was told "you came from a hole in my bottom". She assumed this meant she'd actually walked out of a big hole in one of her mother's arse-cheeks, and told me all about it the next day at school. I was really confused, because I had a "where babies come from" book which told it straight, but I always thought she was cleverer than me, so I was totally lost for a few years!

When I was heavily pregnant with my son, my little cousin Callum asked me " when the baby's finished sleeping will you have to poo it out?" Guess he wasn't far wrong... eeeuuuwww!
