When I was very little I used to believe that when babies were born they came out of the mother's stomach.

When I was a child I always wondered how babies got out of their pregnant mothers stomachs. So one day I asked my mother and grandmother, who happened to both be in the kitchen at the same time. Now Grandma, being very chaste, tried to change the subject, but my mother began to explain how babies came out "Down There". My grandmother piped up "but not the dirty part". Now for the life of me, I could not believe them, I thought to my self "there's no darn way a baby can get out of there, it's just too small." So I figured that the woman must just vomit it out of her mouth. But to me that didnt' sound right either. So until I was thirteen and my older and much wiser cousins told me ALL about the birth process...I was adamant that babies popped out of your navel and then the whole just closed up again, until the next time it was needed. Boy was I dumb!

I used to think that people who got married had babies automaticly, unless they had a medical disorder

when i was about 4, i thought women give birth to girls while men give birth to boys.

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!

I thought that babies WERE in your stomach for 9 months, then you just lifted up your shirt and the baby would just be there and you would go oh look the baby came out!

when I was a kid I used to believe that men gives birth to boys and women gives birth to girls... until the mystery was solved by my parents when I was 10 year old.

when i was younger, i had this body book that explained lots of things, but i only looked at the pictures cuz i never felt like reading it. there was this one part about having babies and it had a drawn picture of a woman having a baby and it looked like the baby was coming out of a slit in her inner thigh. for the longest time, i thought this was how a baby was born until 5th grade when we had sex-ed and i found out that that is not in fact how a baby is born. needless to say, i was a little emberessed...

my friend used to think that a miscarriage was when the mom dropped their babies in a grocery store

When I was very young my mom used to jokingly tell me that when I was born, I was just a big poop. I felt so bad for my mom and any woman sporting a big belly. One day when my mother and I were on the bus, I saw a woman who looked as though she was going to bust the baby out at any moment. I went up to the lady and told her, "I hope that when you poop your baby wont hurt you too much." She just looked at my like I had two heads. My mom had to explain to me where babies really came out of.

When my brother was younger, he used to think that babies grew in a woman's bladder and that she would just pee her baby out into the toilet.

When he got a little older, he though that babies grew in a woman's stomach and she would vomit her baby up.

As a young boy, I had a "vague" concept of the female anatomy, but I knew that babies had to come out somewhere. I originally guessed this was in the chest area, but after I learned after bikinis, rib cages, and where it actually is, I corrected myself. This frequently made me wonder what the big deal was with female legs since I thought "But there's nothing down there!"

When we were little, my sister always wondered how women had babies. I would just tell her that they came out of mommy, just like she did.

A few weeks ago, she finally admitted to thinking that a mommy un-velcroed her stomach and just pulled the baby out once her belly button had popped out. (That was the sign of the baby being ready to come out.)

Now that she's older, she finally knows the difference. haha.

I believed that babys were born through your poo hole and they came out in a polythene bag! I use to look in the toilet every time i did a poo to see if I'd had a baby!!

Annie

i used to think that babies came from the bellie button. so when my mom was pregnant w/ my younger sister i always looked inside he belly button and say hi to my sister...

when i was in year 4 (age 9) i knew EVERYTHING about sex (or so i thought.) anyway, my friend and i were talking about giving birth, and she was really worried that when the baby came out it would be covered in...poo, coz she thought it came out of your bum! i tried to explain that there was another hole, the VAGINA, where the baby came out, but she insisted that there were only two holes, and it came out of your BUTT. bless..

When i was younger I beleieved that white babies came out the "front end" and that black babies came out the "back End"

When I was three my brother was born. Having been the only child till then I decided I didn't like him so I asked my mom if she could go back to the doctor so they could put him back in. I believed that there was a special door in all mommies tummies and the doctors had the key and when the mom wanted to have her child she'd go to the doctor and he'd open the door and take the baby out and that was that. My mom just laughed at me.

I used to believe that when you were pregnant that u pressed your belly-button and the baby popped out. If only!
