I used to believe as a kid that when your Mum got pregnant, the baby grew in her body standing upright. eg: The baby's legs grew in the Mother's legs and it's arms grew in the mother's Arms.
What makes it worse, I used to think that the baby could see out of the mother's eyes and that's how it knew where it's home and family was.... lol
