    Were you ever told that you were born out of your mother's belly button? When you asked how you were born you were told that you were pushed out of the belly button and then the hole healed up.

    This year I'm going to stop picking my BellyButton for lint.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,752 ✭✭✭pablomakaveli


    I remember being told that as well when i was very young. It would open up a can of worms if you told a child they came out the vagina as there would probably be some awkward follow up questions.

    I love picking my bellybutton. Tis great when ya find something.

    How in the hell would that work?

    we were never told because we never cared, by the time we were old enough to know the facts we'd learned it from watching medical dramas and such

    Poo, fluff, hair - anything.

    It's a great hiding place for anything really.

    I have a very sensitive belly button eversince I was a kid.

    Don't know why but it's tortue to touch it. I feel like a knitting needle is slowly being pushed up my a*se.

    Don't ask me how I know what that would be like ;)

    Same as the real way really. Makes sense to a toddler though.

    Must be. I mean back in the old days they used to tell them it in the country to keep them away from girls underwear. The country people were very innocent altogether...probably not so much today.

    what you on about, a stork left me under a cabbage leaf in tescos

    Don't ask me why, but when I was younger I assumed babies came out of the mouth.

    I don't think I was ever really curious about what my bellybutton was. Like my birthmark, I knew it was there but didn't really care why.

    I currently in litigation with my parents as, based on their advice, we had my wife's belly button safely covered in sticking plaster but still ended up with a child.

    We just do it standing up now, to be safe.

    Not as bad as the man who wasn't told the truth. Went to put his penis into her belly button. She dumped him.

    I'm the same. Whenever mean people go near my bellybutton it feels like a hook ripping me body in half.
    Damn mean people!! Mean bellybutton attacking people *shakes fist*

    Also, no, I've never heard of babies coming out of them... That's a terribly new one to me.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 592 ✭✭✭Black Magic


    We've had the mouth and arse.

    Anyone hear of the baby coming out of the nostril by any chance?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,221 ✭✭✭BluesBerry


    I was told that the doctor has a special magic key that opens up the belly button like a door and the baby crawls out:rolleyes:

    The lies they told............sigh


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 592 ✭✭✭Black Magic


    Is it possible to untie the belly button. If so how?

    Is it possible to push it out if its in.

    I was once told that you could vomit out of your belly button.

    I have heard its very very dangerous to get an infection in your belly button I have had it pierced twice and on the second piercing was hospitalized with an infection now im left with a scar where they had to cut it out :(

    Can you vomit through the button? Anyone else ever hear that. I heard it when I was young and could always get a smell of vomit when I pokedmy finger into it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,673 ✭✭✭juke


    Babies through belly buttons :eek:

    I grew up believing they were putting salt in for when you eat Chips in bed (mind you I was never let eat Chips in bed :()


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,460 ✭✭✭Slideshowbob


    Put your finger in your / some one else's Belly Button

    Why would you feel anything? It would be the other person?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,460 ✭✭✭Slideshowbob


    Why would you feel anything? It would be the other person?

    If you put your finger in your BB and do it - you will feel it.

    If you put your finger in someone else's BB and do it - they will feel it.

    I thought that was clear enough?

    Have you tried it?

    Go on you know you want to

    I think you're poking the wrong circular type hole there mate...

    20% were told they were born out of their mother's belly button.

    12% heard other stories.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,175 ✭✭✭Red_Marauder


    When we were kids our mother wasn't very honest about the birds and the bees. She told my sister she found her on the doorstep of our house. She refused to describe the whole process of childbearing, saying that we just popped out through her tummy. For a long time, I just presumed that children everywhere just leaped out of sort of, exploding tummys.

    I'm very squeamish about belly buttons, I've never let anybody consentually touch mine. As children, writing notes to each other describing in detail the sharp things we were going to prod one anothers bellybuttons with, was a form of sibling torture. And to this day gives me the shivers.

    They just untie the belly-button (it looks a little like the knot on a balloon) and pull the kid out.
