A childhood belief about giving birth

When I was younger my mom told me that you can only have babies after you are married, so I always imagined her when she was getting married to my dad in this big church, after the guy said, "you may kiss the bride" They would kiss and then my mom would walk over near the wall where they had this big wooden table, and while she was still in her wedding dress, she would lay down and then the priest guy would come over and cut her stomach open and just take out a baby ( and the baby already had clothes on ) and then my mom told me that they staple her stomach back up so then I imagined the priest with this lil mini stapler stapling her stomach back up.....I can't believe I thought that!
