i used to think that when a baby was ready to be born, the doctor pulled it out through the mother's bellybutton. kind of like how a clown pulled tied-together scarves out of their pocket or sleeve.

I believed that babies came out of our belly buttons.

When I was born my mother shocked a nurse by declaring how ugly I was. She explained that she did it so the evil spirits would not take me away. That nurse probably thought Mom was insane.

NOT ugly!

When I was younger, about 5, maybe, I knew my mom had a c- section, though I didn't know the term for it quite yet, but I still knew she had surgery instead of natural birth. I thought for quite awhile that everyone had surgery to remove the baby, and that was natural, and the baby was stored in a special safe compartment of the stomach. I was a smart kid, but hadn't yet figured out how the babies got in there in the first place.

when I was young i remember just assuming that babies come out of your mouth, the theory being that babies grew in your stomach so how else would they get in or out? what puzzled me most was that i was told i was a big baby but my mother has an unusually small mouth.

I used to believe when ppl had babies and died in labor they thought their kid was ugly and didnt want to be seen with it so they died.

i use to think that babies came out of belly buttons...which is what most children though, but...my mother had this weight watchers key thing (the key to unlock your health or something like that). well, i thought that that key was to get my baby brother out of her stomach (she was pregnant with him at the time.) wow...i kept that key cause i thought that was funny.

Until I was about five years old, I thought that babies were born wearing clothes.

that babies were born out of your belly botton, it would just twist back up after the baby was born

I used to think that to have a baby, the doctors had to cut your tummy open. Needless to say, I swore never to get pregnant.

When I was young I saw my Mom's bellybutton and I thought it looked wrinkly. So I asked her why her bellybutton looked that way and she told me (not sure why) that it was from when I was born. So after that I believed baby's were born out of bellybuttons.

I used to believe that to give birth you simply pressed your belly button and the baby popped out! If only it were that easy!! well why else would it be called a 'button'! Also at a different stage in my life I was worried that the baby might accidently pop out while you were on the toilet!!

Up until I was 13 I seriously used to believe when a woman had a child, that it came from the OTHER hole in her body, I always wished to never have kids, because of that.

I am the oldest of three girls; my mother had all of us via c-section. It wasn't until sitting in my 7th grade health class seeing a LIVE birth during sexual education that I realized that not all babies are born through surgery!

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.

When I was between kindergarden and 2nd grade I use to think the baby would come out of the belly bottun
