i used to think when a woman had a baby the man would stick his penis in and the baby would grab on while the man pulls it out

I used to think that natural baby birth meant that the baby came out of the mother's belly button, and a "c-section" meant that they had to cut open the mommy's tummy to get the baby out [at least I had half of it right]! At one point when I was younger, I actually asked my best friend's mother if my friend had come out of her belly button or if they had to do a c-section.

I used to think that when I had a stomach ache, i was going to give birth. I would sit on the toilet and hoping the baby would be a boy. Sadly, all I got was a brown poop.

i used to think that i was born in a glass bottle !!

A very obvious one, I used to believe that when pregnant women, like my mother at the time (I was three), had their babies, they had to push their belly button and then the baby would come out. I am now 16 and my mother is pregnant again, thankfully I no longer believe this.

I used to believe that when a woman gave birth, the doctor had to cut the belly open and get the baby out, and then sew it back up. Then they had to cut it open again to make sure the mother had enough milk.

Oh dear

My Aunt is a family doctor, and once told me about a 29, that's 29 year old woman who came ot her with her first pregnancy.

So my aunt settled her down for a pelvic examination, and the woman was actingas if she was extremely uncomfortable. Finally, my aunt actually started to do the internal, and the woman leapt up, pushed her hand away, proclaimed, 'Not there Doctor!' and burst into tears.

It turned out that she had somehow been under the impression that babies were born through the umbilical cord, and the process of labour was the time when the cord extended out - much like an extendable staircase, or tje emergency slide on an airplane - from the belly button.

Some people need to pay attention in sex-ed.

Until the age of ten or eleven I believed that a baby came out of a woman's butt. I was so disgusted and I wondered if when I could have a baby, it would be covered in poo.

Until I was 11 or 12, I would look at our neighborhood granny, and then at her adult son - perhaps he was in his thirties then - and I would wonder how she was able to give birth to such a big baby! It never occurred to me that he was born tiny, and grew up to be a big man!

That babies come out of their mom's belly buttons.

Aria

i use to belive whan a lady gave birth it came from her belly button.

I thought babies came out of your navel when they were ready to be born. (Probably would have been more comfortable!)

Also, my 4 older sisters had me convinced that everytime a girl had intercourse they got pregnant.

I used to believe that babies were born through a hole in the mother's belly button. Eventually I found out the truth and got on with the harsh reality of being 29.

When I was three years old my mom was pregnant. The doctor and everyone thought the baby was going to be a boy. But my mom gave birth to a girl. When I heard that I said "Well, it can still be a boy."

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

Nate

Up untill i did sex education at school (year 7 so i wos like 10) i used to think that when women gave birth the baby came out of their bums.

I remember thinkin that some women mite push to hard wen excreting and a baby would pop out and get flushed down the toilet

Chris

I used to believe babies came out of your anus. It was just unfathomable to me that your vagina could stretch that much.

Sarita

i used to believe that parents pooped out babies in the toilet.

nicole

When i was little i used to think a woman's tummy would deflate like a balloon when the baby was taken out.
