To spare me the worry and anxiety of the truth about giving birth, my mother told me that when you had a baby, a place just under a womans belly button would open up and a baby would come out and that it didnt hurt at all. I believed that well after our very POOR sex ed class that didnt explain sex or babies at all, but merely ended up confuseing us all and forceing us to demand facts from our parents.
