@mrbee: A VERY small egg. I knew people didn't lay chicken size eggs. My friend said it was a very small egg, "the size of a period at the end of a sentence! That's why they call it a period when you bleed!"

I don't remember because my mom had the sex talk with me when I was relatively young, maybe 7. However, she should have had it when I was younger, because I remember being very, very confused by a lot of things she talked to me about. And really grossed out by the sex ed classes I had! I wasn't allowed to read Judy Blume and none of my friends knew about sex yet, so I didn't quite understand it. It's kind of a lucky thing that I didn't go out and experiment because I really did NOT understand!
I plan on dealing with the topic at a young age with our children in a matter of fact way. I prefer to not beat around the bush or be vague about the topic or refer to your sex organs as "pee pees". Ugh.

I thought that the doctor cut a big square patch out of the mom's belly and took the baby out.

@lemondrop: Same here. When you grow up on a farm, you just figure it out. The first time I caught animals in the act, I asked my mom, she explained it, and that was that. I was never confused,
And sometimes I forget that so many people have never experienced an animal giving birth. I count myself lucky that I spent many years helping cows, pigs, goats, etc. give birth. It was really exciting and it's probably not that common for a young child to know what things like afterbirth looks like first hand.

I honestly don't remember what I thought, I do remember at one point thinking babies came out your legs! Haha I only thought this because I watched "look who's talking" and when she was giving birth it seemed like the baby was going through a tunnel, so I automatically assumed legs. Stupid I know, but I was like 5

Wow, some of you bees have really upfront parents. Funny enough i remember asking my parents where babies came from, and they BOTH told me they came form God. I asked for more clarification but that was all i got!
I eventually conculuded that God must have shown up in the middle of the night, opened up my mum's belly and put the baby in there. I asked them if i was right and they both said Yes!
The truth finally prevailed in the 7th grade tho, thank God i paid attention in Sex Ed class, i could have gone around thinking Guys had nothing to do with getting pregnant.
