i used to believe this till I got proper education that babies come out of the mother by operating on her stomach.I also asked her once that"mom aren't there any stitch marks on your belly" &she burst out laughing.

When very young I asked my mother "If a baby is in a womans tummy, does it come out of her mouth?" She said "no the other end". After a short pause I asked "Well how do you get your feet back on then?"

When I was a child, i used to belive that a baby comes out from mom's navel not vagina, until I studied biology in school

when i was little and not as smart as i am now, I was under the impression there were two types of birth. Those which you had through your stomach (near enough right on this one) and the other through slicing open the crook in your arm............i havent a clue how i dreamt up that one.

When my little brother was little (about 5) he asked my dad where babies came from. Dad told him that they come out of the mother through the birth canal. Later on that day dad told my brother to tell my mother what he had learned about babies that day. He said that daddy told him that babies come from the "baby corral".

When I was a little kid, I don't know why, but I thought when a woman had a baby, she would lay on her stomach and it came out of her butt. And when she was having a baby, the baby would trigger something in her neck muscle and she would be able to twist it around and see the baby coming out. Wierd huh?

For some reason I believed that when a woman was about to have a baby that somehow, and I didn't know how, that the doctor's put a zipper on the mom's belly and then would unzip her and take the baby out.

A very obvious one, I used to believe that when pregnant women, like my mother at the time (I was three), had their babies, they had to push their belly button and then the baby would come out. I am now 16 and my mother is pregnant again, thankfully I no longer believe this.

When I was about six or seven I was just starting to learn about having babies, having sex, etc. When I asked if it hurt, my mom said that it was like going number 2. I remember being terrified of going number 2. in the bathroom because I always thought a baby was going to come out.

When I was little girl, I overhead family members discussing childbirth - how long the labour was, how much pain the woman had, etc. - and I thought I had figured out why the woman had pain: the baby was biting its way out through her body. OUCH!!

I used to beleive that when a baby was born, you couldn't touch it because it's skin was so thin that you'd tear it, and it would bleed to death. I heard this from a TV show on discovery channel. I now remember that they were actually talking about some very premature-birthed babies, but the word "premature" was beyond my understanding at the time. So I thought this was the case with all babies. When I said this in 1st Grade, the teacher finally corrected me.

Anon
