giving birth

I used to think that when you where born that you where an "IT" because the parents cut the ambilical chord short for a girl long for a boy and thats why some people had sex changes because their mommy and daddy made the wrong choice.

i was cut short

I used to think that babies were born out of their mother's bellybuttons.

When I was around 5 I told my mom that babies come out of your butt. It wasn't until I was 25 that my mom finally understood that I had no idea where babies really come out from. She thought my nickname for my vagina was butt!!

When I worked at the YMCA. I was in charge of the 5 year olds. I was pregnant with my 1st child and quite large and two of my boys were fighting. I asked what was the problem and they were fighting over where my baby would come out of..one said the belly button and one said it fall out of "where a girl pees at"...then the asked me...needless to say that was a 'go ask you mother' moment.:)

When I was little I believe that babies came out through your intestines since the baby was in the mommie's "tummy" and that's why it hurt so much!

I used to watch shows such as "A Baby Story" and "Maternity Ward". My 3 year old son would catch bits and pieces every now and then. So when I got pregnant with my daughter he told me that he knew the baby would come out of my "hoo-hoo". He then proceeded to tell me that I shouldn't worry when it fell off because they would sew it back on! LOL

I used to believe that babies were pooped out of their mothers.

for a long time i used to believe that birth could be given from both the anus amd the vagina and that it was just chance whichever one the baby came out from.

I used to belive that grown ups had babies by kissing eachother and leaving saliva in the female's mouth, the lady would swallow and have the baby in her stomach. When she was 9 months pregnant and the baby was developed, she'd up-chuck and puke the baby out.
I belived it until I was in primary 3, when we had our first sex ed. class xD

When I was pregant with my 3rd son (about 7 months along) I told his 3 yrd old brother we were going to see a picture of the baby (ultrasound). He very seriously looked at me and asked how many toys the baby had in there to play with.

My eldest child was born when I was 19 and very niave. Just before my due date one of the nurses at the OB office told me that after birth most women experience bleeding similar to that of a menstrual cycle and she recommended that I make sure I was prepared with the appropriate supplies at home. After that visit I stopped by the market for TAMPONS! A few days later it seemed pretty obvious tht wasn't what she meant.

When I was about 5, I believed that women gave birth to girls, and men gave birth to boys. I am now a teenager, and relise how it all happens.

when I was little and asked my Mom how the baby got out of a lady's tummy, she told me that ladies have a "special hole" for the baby to come out of. I thought that the " special hole" was your belly button!

A few years later, my little sister saw my Dad's belly button and thought that he was pregnant!-she must have used the same logic!

when i was in year 4 (age 9) i knew EVERYTHING about sex (or so i thought.) anyway, my friend and i were talking about giving birth, and she was really worried that when the baby came out it would be covered in...poo, coz she thought it came out of your bum! i tried to explain that there was another hole, the VAGINA, where the baby came out, but she insisted that there were only two holes, and it came out of your BUTT. bless..

Seems that many people had my same belief, but it used to really fill me with fear. I too believed that mothers pooped their babies out, but they did so while sitting on the toilet. I always used to worry about the babies drowning in the water and wondered how the mothers were fast enough to clean themselves and also save their babies.

I have a twin brother and when i was 2 or 3 I was in the waiting room with my mom and a lady came out with a new baby boy. I looked up at my mom and asked "Where is the other one?" I was devastated when she told me babies don't come in pairs! I felt sorry that the baby wouldn't have anyone to play with.

When i was little i believed that when u were giving birth, they would cut your stomach open and the baby would come out. Then they would glue you back together

When I was four my mom was pregnant with my brother. I asked how the baby would get out of her belly. She was going to have a C-section, so she said the doctors would open her belly like a zipper and take the baby out. She also explained that other babies came out of their mommy's "bottom". So, for years, I thought babies were pooped out.
