I was an only child for ten years till Mum gave birth to my little sister, I was worried anytime we go to a friend ,family or neighbour that gave birth, I was longing for my own siblings, so one day I ask my Mum why is your tummy not growing like our neighbour that gave birth recently, I need a brother, My Mum could not give an answer then, she just said God plant babies in mothers belly,I was still curious I ask my Dad same question too,he said almost the same thing,in my little understanding then I refused to eat,I will tell my Mum to eat all the food she prepared so her tummy will get big as I use to say,I never knew its through copulation till I get to know in biology class,till date my Mum do tease me about leaving food for her so as her tummy will get big.

Mum had I and my younger one through CS and she showed me the scars,so I thought it was same for everyone. So for young me,babies come out from the stomach, I loved my mum's scar,maybe that's why I still like scars,but unfortunately my body don't retain scars,every injury heals neatly.

I remember arguing that it was from the stomach that the doctors will cut the stomach open and pull out the baby......my mum was just there smiling and see me feeling fly that I was saying something reasonable sef.I wonder what was even going through her mind..
Derailing this thread,while growing up I had this notion in my head that"those beautiful aunty in my neighborhood didn't make use of the toilet"I felt it was unheard of..

Which is not totally untrue. Cutting the stomach is how CS is done and some women give birth that way.

I didn't know they was natural childbirth method where the woman would go into"labour".

I was always scared to push While doing my business because I tot a baby will just fall through

When I was in jss3 I disgraced my entire lineage, by saying in class that women gave birth through their stomach ( because that was what my mum and AUNT told me). I can still hear the laughter and picture the look of surprise on classmates faces. In fact, they nicknamed me " gateway" because I said a gate open on the navel.

Lol....you're not alone bro. I did think like that too

I thought it was from the stomach, untill i reached ss3.because my mom would say the would open her stomach and the child would come out

As a child, when I saw that dark line (linea nigra) I knew immediately I came out by the doctor cutting my mum open to bring my out. I used to think of my mums belly as one raffle draw bag that you will select the child you want When it gets big. Today I know better that dad you are one hell of a soccer player after 8 children.

when my mum was pregnant for my immediate younger brother I saw her legs swollen so my elder sister too then (a kid too Sha) told me that is where the baby will come out from, that they were going to tear the leg and pop!! the baby comes out, Tor since I don't have any contrary opinion I had no choice than to believe it, not until I entered secondary school.

I thought it's from the Anus.

I didn't know until my JSS when I read it from Integrated Science Key Points by myself and still doubted it because I thought it's impossible

same with me
