giving birth

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 i used to think a woman's tummy would deflate like a balloon when the baby was taken out.

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 younger, i used to think that babies came out of the belly button. and i would always wonder why men couldnt have children

Until I was about five years old, I thought that babies were born wearing clothes.

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.

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.

i used to think that when the mom was showiring the baby would just fall out of her butt

butt baby

When I was little I use to believe that a mom could decide the gender of her baby at birth. I did not know that the ambilical cord was attached to the belly button and i believed that if you wanted a boy you would leave a little bit of the cord and if you wanted a girl you would cut it all off. wow.

I used to believe that since babies grew in your stomach,they HAD to come out of your stomach,belly button first.Since my mom told me about the tube in a mothers stomach connecting to your belly button,I believed babies had to come from a mom's stomach.If the mom couldn't tear her stomach open,the doctor had to use a knife.That's why I was scared to death of having a baby,but when I was ten I learned about C Section and that stuff.I never believed they could come out through your legs!After reading the article in a magazine I didn't believe babies were born in between the legs cause I just didn't want to,for like...a month.How could the fit through there??

Absolutely nuts

I don't know why, but I used to believe that babies were one year old when they were born o_O.
