giving birth

I only found out the other day that when babies are inside their mommys bellies that they had gulls and when they came out the gills healed over .....i am 14 and only just found that this is not true

I used to believe babies came out of your anus. It was just unfathomable to me that your vagina could stretch that much.

When I was 5, my aunt got pregnant and she was the first person I had known and been around who was having a baby. When she was getting very large, I asked my mom, "When is Aunt Betty going to hatch her baby". Apparently I though we came out of eggs...

I used to think that women didn't have vaginas so a baby would come out of their belly buttons. I thought this for a few years, and then my mother told me that babyies were fed from the mothers belly button when a women was pregnant. That made me think that the baby would be eating out of a small tube in their mother and then all of a sudden it would be sucked into the tube and end up outside of the person.

I used to think that babies came out of the same place that poo did, and that women couldn't go to the toilet when they were pregnant in case the baby came out...

Pranks and jokes are a natural way of life for my family. When my mom was a little girl, her mom gave her the customary "where babies come from talk", only she changed the story a bit. As a result, my mom spent her childhood years believing that you had to "poop" your baby out, if you get what I mean... Years later, when it came to my own lesson, my mom couldn't resist adding her own touch to it as her mom had done before her. Embarrasingly enough, it was my belief for many years that babies, (which my mom kindly informed me came out the size of a large watermelon,) had to be pushed out through your bellybutton!! I never did have much respect for that particular body part after that, nor did I ever eat another watermelon!

at the age of maybe 4-5 i thought that girl would only have an anus and no vagina.
So I thought that every had to be cut out of the stomach...

When I was young I was told the reason doctors smacked all babies on the backside was because the dicks fell of the dum ones Now that I am older I know it is true

My mom always told my sister and me that mermaids had babies out of their mouths: they would blow a bubble with the baby inside and then the doctor would burst the bubble.

I used to think that when a woman was having a baby, they had to cut her stomach open to get the baby out.

I used to believe that a woman would have her baby through her belly button!
I was upset when I found out after birth, a belly button wasn't useful!

I used to think that you had to physically hold the baby in with your muscles. So, when you are holding your pee, then you get to the toilet, you have to let go right? Well, I couldn't figure out how they managed to go to the bathroom without dropping the baby in.

Also, my mother had a miscarriage before me, and I pondered whether this was what had happened

When I was little, my mother was explaining how baby's grew inside a little sac (the uterus) until they were ready to come out. I thought that when babies were born, they came out in a little sac, like one that looks like a grocery bag. I always asked my mom "so do they throw away the bag after?"

I used to think that babies came out of your mum's belly button - I used to imagine the belly button opening up and a baby jumping out! Eventually I realised that other parts existed for that...hehe

Up untill i did sex education at school (year 7 so i wos like 10) i used to think that when women gave birth the baby came out of their bums.

I remember thinkin that some women mite push to hard wen excreting and a baby would pop out and get flushed down the toilet

When I was younger, my mum told me that babies came out of your belly button. One day ni school all the girls were talking about 'when babies are born' and they all started giggling like mad. Me, as stubborn as I am, stood up and said ''what are you laughing at. Whats so funny about a bellybutton'' Now, this really increased the laughter volume!!

When i was little, I had a friend over. Out of no where, sah asks my mom how babies came out of a mommy. Well, my mother knowing it wasn't her job to tell her the WHOLE story simple said that they came out of the belly botton. Until about 4th grade, my friend never knew the truth!
