A childhood belief about giving birth

When I was around 12-13 years old (old enough to know better) and discussing childbirth with my friend and her older teenage sisters, I revealed that all babies were delivered by cutting open the stomach. I was astounding to learn that babies were usually delivered vaginally. I was totally revolted by the idea, and my friend and the others teased me terribly because of my ignorance and embarrassment.
