My mom told me when I was about 6 that a woman had cravings when she was pregnant. I thought that if she got what she had a craving for, then she would go into labor. I thought this until I was about 8, and one day I really wanted some potato chips, and I got some out of the pantry and ate them. Shortly after I realized what I had done, and ran to my mom saying that I didn't waant to have a baby!

I have a twin brother and when i was 2 or 3 I was in the waiting room with my mom and a lady came out with a new baby boy. I looked up at my mom and asked "Where is the other one?" I was devastated when she told me babies don't come in pairs! I felt sorry that the baby wouldn't have anyone to play with.

When I was about 5, I used to believe that whenever I pooed, I would have a baby. The women on television had to push a lot to have the babies so it made perfect sense. Every time I went to the bathroom, I would check the toilet for babies...I didn't want to flush my child away!

Learned a lot since then...

I used to believe that a baby would grow in a mothers stomach and be born from her butt via the intestinal track. This seemed logical, because my mother told me that the reason that I like the soft drink Orangina so much is because she drank it when she was pregnant with me.

Ignorant child :p

when i was 5 years old I thought that a pregnant women deliever the baby by vomiting it

My mother told me that babies were born from a 'special place' on a woman's body, however she omitted to tell me where this 'special place' was. For some reason I didn't need to ask, because I assumed (for some obscure reason)that it was in the middle of her back.

My brother believes that in order to give birth, her leg has to be lifted into the air then pushed back behind her head. The baby then pops right out.

When I was 5, my aunt got pregnant and she was the first person I had known and been around who was having a baby. When she was getting very large, I asked my mom, "When is Aunt Betty going to hatch her baby". Apparently I though we came out of eggs...

I only found out the other day that when babies are inside their mommys bellies that they had gulls and when they came out the gills healed over .....i am 14 and only just found that this is not true

When I was little, my pregnant mom told us that when it was time for her to have the baby she would be able to pick one out at the hospital. I was so confused but I still believed her even though I knew that there was a baby inside her. So I thought that when she had the baby at the hospital all the babies were put together and the mommies could pick which baby they liked. Then when I saw on T.V. that babies came out from between the legs, I thought that they put the baby back inside the mom and had her push it out.

I used to beleive that when a baby was born, you couldn't touch it because it's skin was so thin that you'd tear it, and it would bleed to death. I heard this from a TV show on discovery channel. I now remember that they were actually talking about some very premature-birthed babies, but the word "premature" was beyond my understanding at the time. So I thought this was the case with all babies. When I said this in 1st Grade, the teacher finally corrected me.

I used to believe that when you had a baby, you had to go and pick one out for yourself in heaven before you were born. I worried for ages that I wouldn't have any because I didn't remember choosing one.

when i was little my mom was pregnant and my dad told me the doctors had to use a tin opener to get it out i believed every word and was terrified my mom would have no 'cover' on her belly like a tin after its been opened

I thought that babies were born with their eyes closed just like the puppies my dog had, having no family and no reason to think any different I thought this until I was 22!

I used to believe that baby's came out of belly bottons. I imagined when a woman became pregnant her belly botton would be made of metal and it would open like a fancy door in space movies.

After my mum gave me the sex talk and told me all about giving birth, I used to think that when you're pregnant you could think you're about to have the baby and it could end up being you just have to poo. I always tried to imagin the look on the doctor's face when he had poo in his hands instead of a baby...

I used to believe, as a very small child, that babies came out of a trap door hidden in the mother's back. You couldn't see it, because skin covered the button to pop it open, and only the doctor knew where it was...yeesh...

When I got more information of where babies came from, I used to think they’d come out of the mother’s stomach. I was terrified to ever have a baby, since I thought the baby blaster out the mother’s stomach and left a hole, the bellybutton. OUCH!

At a young age, I was under the belief that having sex had something to do with kissing after you were married, that there was some magical type of kiss you could perform to make babies.

I also believed that if you positioned yourself right, you could possibly have a child without the opposite gender's involvement. This, in my mind, explained same sex couples, The Immaculate Conception, and Anakin Skywalker's mother (In Episode One, I clearly remember one of the jedi asking her, "Who is the father?" and her reply of "There isn't one." I took this extemely literally).
