sex: giving birth

When I was really, really little I used to think that when a woman got pregnant she waited until the baby was ready and then pressed her bellybutton and the baby would pop out!

For the longest time, I didn't know about labor. I just thought women decided they were ready for the baby to be born, went to the hospital, laid down, and POP! If only it was that easy!

i used to believe that when a woman gets shot in the stomach, and she goes to hospital, she gives birth to a baby.

and this belief was strengtened by the fact that one of our neighbour gave birth to a baby in times of racial riots in our area.........

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.:)

I used to believe that babies were born from a girl's belly button instead of...you know what. Because when I asked my mom where babies come from, thats what she told me so that's what I thought up until a few years ago and I'm 14 so ya...pretty embarassing!

I thought women gave birth through some separate passage (not the vagina) that appears and opens up on the front of the belly, and closes and disappears after. I thought this because I know babies came from their mummy's tummy, and some misleading info from my mum, something about a 'cave' opening up...

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?

When I was little, my grandma had problems with her stomach and had her stomach cut open a couple of times. Well, since she had kids before, i thought that when you had a kid they shot out of your belly button. I believed this until i was 9 when my mom explained your period.

i used to belive that babies came from the stomach

I thought that all babies had to be delivered by cutting open the mother's stomach. After all how else was that huge thing supposed to get out.

i thought that babies came out of the same hole girls peed out of. therefore, i thought it was possible to get pregnant via oral sex. i actually believe this until i was really old, as in, 13 or 14! my friends laughed and laughed at me when i told them.

I used to think that babies were born with clothes and maybe a little play toy

When I was younger, I asked my mother where the baby came out. She obviously didn't want to get too graphical and said from the same place you pee from.
I had never thought of questioning this. Then one day I went bright red when my friends told me the truth!
how could I have been so dumb?

I used to beleive that when a woman had a baby, it came out of hear anus and a man could have babies too. Pretty disgusting really.

I was born by C-Section, and I had always known how that worked, so assumed that all babies were born by C-Section. When I was 5, my friend's little sister was born (vaginally) I wanted to go and watch so I could watch because I wanted to see her mom's insides.

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
