giving birth

When I was younger, about 5, maybe, I knew my mom had a c- section, though I didn't know the term for it quite yet, but I still knew she had surgery instead of natural birth. I thought for quite awhile that everyone had surgery to remove the baby, and that was natural, and the baby was stored in a special safe compartment of the stomach. I was a smart kid, but hadn't yet figured out how the babies got in there in the first place.

One day I asked my mom, "Since babies come out of their mom's butt, could a mom have a poop as big as a baby?" I love the fact that I didn't even consider that I could be wrong about where babies come from.

I thought that babies were born out of your bellybutton (couldn't think of anywhere else they pop out of!)

When I was very little I used to believe that when babies were born they came out of the mother's stomach.

When I was a child I always wondered how babies got out of their pregnant mothers stomachs. So one day I asked my mother and grandmother, who happened to both be in the kitchen at the same time. Now Grandma, being very chaste, tried to change the subject, but my mother began to explain how babies came out "Down There". My grandmother piped up "but not the dirty part". Now for the life of me, I could not believe them, I thought to my self "there's no darn way a baby can get out of there, it's just too small." So I figured that the woman must just vomit it out of her mouth. But to me that didnt' sound right either. So until I was thirteen and my older and much wiser cousins told me ALL about the birth process...I was adamant that babies popped out of your navel and then the whole just closed up again, until the next time it was needed. Boy was I dumb!

I used to think that people who got married had babies automaticly, unless they had a medical disorder

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!

I thought that babies WERE in your stomach for 9 months, then you just lifted up your shirt and the baby would just be there and you would go oh look the baby came out!

Until I reached 13, and sex-ed class explained how it really worked; I believed that somehow babies came out of their mommies belly button. I just couldn't figure out how it opened up.

when i was younger, i had this body book that explained lots of things, but i only looked at the pictures cuz i never felt like reading it. there was this one part about having babies and it had a drawn picture of a woman having a baby and it looked like the baby was coming out of a slit in her inner thigh. for the longest time, i thought this was how a baby was born until 5th grade when we had sex-ed and i found out that that is not in fact how a baby is born. needless to say, i was a little emberessed...

When I was very young my mom used to jokingly tell me that when I was born, I was just a big poop. I felt so bad for my mom and any woman sporting a big belly. One day when my mother and I were on the bus, I saw a woman who looked as though she was going to bust the baby out at any moment. I went up to the lady and told her, "I hope that when you poop your baby wont hurt you too much." She just looked at my like I had two heads. My mom had to explain to me where babies really came out of.

Extremely gullible

My wife thought that, in order to give birth, the woman would have her head cut off, and the doctor would sew it on after the delivery. Since the neck was the only "hole" that would be large enough to pass a baby through, this seemed to make sense to her.

when i was small my friend told me that lesbians can have kids but the kid can only be a girl and her skin will be pink and gays can have a boy and his skin will be blue and i kind a believed her...

i used to believe that adults never gave birth and you just appeared with your family where you were supposed to live.

While coaching a youth hockey program over the summer, an argument broke out among a group of 6 year olds on where babies came from. One child, among with a few of his friends believed that kissing is what got people pregnant. Meanwhile the other child was arguing that having a baby was random and that the woman pooped out the baby and the "type of baby it was depended on what the mother ate that day"

i couldnt help but laugh

At some point I knew babies came out of mommies bellies, but I thought they came bursting directly out. I asked my mom, "what happens to the split after the baby is born?" And she said, "well, the muscles just kind of close back up I guess." And I thought, naw, how can that be, there's a tear down their bellies!

(I was born in mid sixties, before C sections were so popular.)

I was born via c-section and I used to think that all babies were born via c-section, open the mother's belly they used a chainsaw and a pair of kitchen scissors, and then a baby just jumped out.

i used to believe babies were born through anus. only after i found out what the other hole's for, i held firm that believe

i used to believe that babies came from their mothers ass' and they wouldn't drink breast milk they would drink ass milk.

I believed that babys were born through your poo hole and they came out in a polythene bag! I use to look in the toilet every time i did a poo to see if I'd had a baby!!
