When I was pretty young(about 4 or 5)my mom told me about how some babies were delviered with a C-section. I already kind of knew how most babies were born, but after she told me about C-sections, I thought THAT was the way that most babies were born. Also when she told me how they had to cut the mother open, I though she meant they cut the mother in half(literally). I wondered how the woman survied this..
