I once believed that moms had babies out of their belly buttons, and that was why my brother had an outie and I had an inny.

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

When I was little I thought that women got pregnant randomly, and that men had nothing to do with the process of pregnancy. This caused me to believe that I was in no way related to my dad, and he was just some person who we decided to live with.

in my early life i was under the impression that babies somehow morphed their way through their mummy's tummy when 'born'. i didn't ever think of the specifics...

One day my son (10) excitedly told me that he knew where babies come from. I was anxious to hear his response and was tickled when he told me that babies come out of there Mom's butts.

I used to think, that to give birth, the doctor pressed the mum's bellybutton and the baby just popped out!

If only it was that easy!

When I was little I used to believe that when a lady was ready to have her baby that it came out of her mouth! Then I thought, well hey, it must have been easy for my mom because she has a big mouth!

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...

Like many people, I thought that babies were born through the belly button.
So one time, when I was 5, I went swimming with my best friend. She had this sort of two piece tankini swimsuit, and I could clearly see her belly button. I was horrified to note that it was an outie.
I took her aside to break the news to her. I grimly informed her that she could never have children.
Her mother chided me for causing her to break into tears for no reason.

i used to play "giving birth" with my friends and once with my boy cousin. I was about 5 and he was 4 but he was a little more educated than me. So when i asked if he wanted to play that and he said yes i laid down on the bed and waited for him to "put me to sleep and cut me open." He just sat there and said he was waitng on me. I sat up and asked what he was talking about. He whispered in my ear "you know what im talking about". When i made him tell me i was shocked. But i had to believe him so i laid back down and started screaming. He kept holding my hands and rubbing my stomach and after 5 minutes of this my mother heard me and i got lectured for scaring her to death.

i actually thought babies just ripped through ur stomach when they were born and that's why all those women on tv screamed during birthing scenes

When my mother was expecting my brother, I was confused when she packed baby clothes into her hospital suitcase. She said they were to bring the baby home in them. I asked her why she didn't bring him home in the clothes he was born in.

I used to think that when a women gave birth that you would sit up on a tabele, life up your shirt, and the doctors would cut a circle in your stomach and then the baby would climb out of her stomach, then the doctor would simply just place the peice of the moms belly back on and it would be back to normal.

I used to believe that Test Tube Babies were babies that were born with problems, and they had to run Tests to make sure the babies tube was working properly.

When I was little I believed that the mother vomited the baby.

When I was really little I used to think that when a woman had a baby it would sort of rise up through her stomach some how, like her stomach would sort of melt away a bit for the baby to pass through.

I used to believe that when a woman was pregnant and it was time for her to give birth, the baby would just 'pop out'. I was very that when I was pregnant the baby would fall into the toilet and I would flush it into the sewars, where it became one of the 'sewar children'.

I used to believe that when a woman was pregnant her stomach would eventually burst and the babies would go flying. I must have practiced for hours, passing a ball around with my sisters, when I found out that my mom was pregnant!

Two beliefs:

1) I had just come from eardrum surgery to restore my hearing a few days earlier. My little sister was born, and I went in to see her. When my dad took a Polaroid photo, she got freaked out by the sound of the shutter, looked directly at me, and started scream-crying at the top of her lungs. It was so painful to me that I begged, "Take her back!" to the nurses, which I thought they could do. I wish they would have, now that I think about it.

2) I used to have an imaginary baby that I played with and pretended to be its mom. When my male cousins made fun of me, I said that if they weren't nice to her I would put her back inside me and she'd go away forever. Yikes!!!

When I was real really little I believed that when you were born your parents decided if you were a boy or a girl by having the doctors either cut the penis off or by leaving it on.
