sex: giving birth

When I was younger I was convinced that since I was a girl the next baby my mom would have would be a boy, just to keep it even. Needless to say when my mom got pregnant and had a girl I was in complete shock and confusion. In my anger I yelled at her to return it for a new one, I guess I thought you could make exchanges, and then threw the telephone to the ground.

Babies were born out of the mother's belly button

I used to believe that I was born from an egg and would wonder if I had a hard time pecking put of my egg

I used to believe that a baby is born from the stomach and the only way it would come out was by pooping.

When I was younger, I used to believe that when babies were born, the doctors would untie the moms belly button, take the baby out, and tie her belly button back up.

When babies were born, I used to believe that the only way to tell if it was a boy or girl was to look at the ears. The girls had holes in their ears, the boys didn't.

When I noticed my mother's Cesarian scar and asked her about it she told me that was where the doctors cut her open to take me out but didn't tell me that wasn't how babies were usually born. I had also been told that it was once common for women to die during childbirth. Based on these pieces of information I decided that natural childbirth involved the baby clawing and chewing its way out of its mother, causing lots of damage to her and probably even killing her because it was just a baby and didn't know what it was doing, but this didn't often happen any more because doctors would almost always surgically remove the baby before it did that.

Until I was about 10 or 11, I thought babies were born out of belly buttons. I believed that was why pregnant women had such big belly buttons...so that it would be big enough for the baby to just pop out of when it was ready.

I used to believe that babies came from between/underneath the breasts.

Until I was 10, I used to believe that babies came out by clawing their way out of women's abdomens. Like a baby chick pecking its way out of an egg... or like the Alien movies

I used to believe that babies popped out of a woman's belly button.

I believed women were alwAys sick when they had babies thats why they ended up in the hospital and that babies would pop out of their bellies

When I was little I thought that when a woman gives birth, the baby explodes out of her stomach. One day when I was little, my younger cousin and I were playing like I was pregnant. when I had the baby, he said it would come out my "private parts." I, of course, didn't believe him.

When I was little, my mother had kidney cancer so she had one of her kidneys taken out and had a long scar on the side of her stomach. For a long time I thought that the scar was from when I was born and that all babies were cut out of a woman's stomach. I asked her why she didn't have four scars (I have 3 siblings) on her stomach. She finally told me where babies really come from. I was horrified.

I used to believe that babies were made at the early learning centre (a childrens toy shop) as everytime i walked past with my mum, she would say 'You cant go in there, its for babies!'

When I was very young, I used to believe that when babies were born, they came along with all of their initial baby clothes. I always pictured myself being born in a cute yellow dress, with a bunch of hangers of outfits in each hand!
