When I was little girl, I overhead family members discussing childbirth - how long the labour was, how much pain the woman had, etc. - and I thought I had figured out why the woman had pain: the baby was biting its way out through her body. OUCH!!
A childhood belief about giving birth
others believed things like this
- I used to think that if a black woman or man and a white woman or man had a baby, it would be Asian.Anon
- When I was younger I used to believe that when I hit an object they would feel pain like they were living.— Alice
- When I was a kid I thought rape just meant someone tearing the clothes off of a woman's body.— Matt
- I thought the line in the song "more than a woman" was "four-legged woman".— boo
- "Chassis" is slang for a woman's body, especially her genitalia.
— Siddharth Mehrotra - I thought that if a black man and a white woman (or reverse) had a baby it would be stripped!— Bec
