giving birth

When i was little i believed that when u were giving birth, they would cut your stomach open and the baby would come out. Then they would glue you back together

When my son was 5 my sister had just had her first child. I have always been open with him about things in an age appropriate manner. Well he wanted to know how my nephew had gotten out of my sister. He loved animals so he had seen shows with animal live births but the concept of a human birth was hard to understand. I tried to say there was an opening that got bigger and that is how the baby got out. He didn't understand so I said it was like a door. He thought I meant an actual door like to his room. That confused him all the more. So I told him it was like a hole that would get bigger and the baby came out that way. This satisfied him & so ended our conversation. So a few weeks later his pre-school class was making construction paper butterflies out of heart shapes & pipe cleaners. They were glueing the pointed part of the heart together for the body, the pipe cleaner for the antenna the hump part of the heart was the wings of the butterfly. Well my son was glueing the bumps together and that was leaving an opening. So his teacher, who is pregnant & due any day, is pointing this out to him, that his butterfly will have a hole in it. He looks at her and calmly says "Well, that's where the babies come out". I worked in the same pre-school & she came & got me immediately to tell me. We laughed so hard we had tears in our eyes & it very nearly sent her into labor. I guess that's what I get for being honset with my kid :)

I used to think that babies came out of your belly button. Even after I had read all the books. Little did I know that that wasnt true.

I used to believe women give birth to newborns from their anuses while pooping in a toilet.

I used to think that babies came out of the bellybutton of the mother, and babies didnt have ubilical chords. The doctors would cut open the bellybutton, then they would tie it up again.

i used to believe that when a woman has a baby it came out of her bellybutton. My mother told me that when the baby was ready the nurse would press really hard on the mothers stomach and the baby would pop out. How mortifies was I when my younger cousin (of three years) said 'No they don't they come out of here' (pointing smartly at the said area) I began to cry!!!

I used to believe that babies would come out of women's behinds - it seemed far more suitable for that purpose than the the hole they use for peeing.

It wasn't until 5th grade that I learned the truth.

I used to believe that babies came out of the mother's thigh. I have no idea why.

when i was little i used to believe that whn a woman gave birth to a baby, they had to rip off part of the womans stomach. then i finally asked my mom how they get the baby out, and she said they get it out from the woman's private part. i'm so dumb
