When I was in the fourth grade or so a friend and I were in a very serious discussion about how a baby was born. It was very confusing since we knew the baby grew in the mothers stomach and came out between her legs. We concluded that the baby had to pass through her entire small and large intenstine and that was why labours were so long and painful. But there was also the matter of the baby being digested while being born. I then realized that the baby grew in the mothers womb and that was what protected it from being hurt from stomach acid and what not!
