A childhood belief about giving birth

Me and my sister used to think that when babies were born, they came out through the anus, and I believed for quite a while that all the babies a mom would have just waited in the stomach, each sleeping on a bunk bed carved into the mom's stomach skin, and they would just kind of slowly roll off the bunk bed every so often, and the moms stomach would grow until she went to a doctor and the doctor would pull the baby out.
So me and my sister would lay on the stairs, pretending to be babies in the mom's stomach, having adventures in "Stomachworld" until the doctor would come and take us.
