When I was really little I watched this move that showed a cat giving birth. To me, it looked like the cat was "pooping out" the baby (which is what I said to my mom). So for a while after watching this movie I believed that babies came out of the same place poop came out of and if a women wanted to have a baby she could just strain really hard and out it would pop!
