My parents were always honest with my sister and I about where babies came from, so I knew about sex and reproduction. My sister and I were both c-section babies, though, and I thought that was how babies were born. My best friend told me about natural childbirth, and I was completely horrified! I couldn't understand why ANYONE would do that!
