A childhood belief about getting pregnant

I still have no idea why I believed this or how I even thought of it, but I was a very imaginative child. Anyway, I used to belive that a woman got pregnent because a man from the hospital would break into the house at night and put a baby in her tummy. Then, a few months later, she would go to the hospital and have the baby. It's like a scarier version of the stork.

Another weird belief...my much older cousin said one day she was never ever going to have a baby. I told her that because she was a girl, she had to have one, because all women have a baby. I thought it was a natural thing. You eat, you sleep, and if your a girl, you have a baby.
