what did you parents say when you asked them where babies came from ?

I never asked where babies come from. My mom just told me that she "pushed me out of her stomach." Then I had nightmares about her trying to eat me.

 

I think James Herriot taught me. Either him or Zoobooks. One of the two.

 

The truth. The same thing that I tell my children. You don't have it include every single little detail, but enough to give an idea of who and what.

My parents and I are not ashamed or embarrassed about human biology and physiology.

Happy days

 

My mother is a nurse who doesn't squeam at anything. She told me straight-out in medical terms, and also taught me the basic anatomy of genitalia (using Gray's anatomy). I don't think I was ever totally in the dark about it.

 

Uh... the truth? What else would they tell me?

 

"I'll tell you when you're 13."

 

I never asked. Too many encyclopedias around the house , so I already knew.

 

I never asked - I just discovered it on my own, like everything else. The wonders of growing up with the internet.

 

I don't exactly remember asking, but I know my mom explained it with drawings of the uterus and ovaries. Mom usually explained things with drawings. She did that with explaining FGM too, but I don't remember how the subject came up. That conversation scared the bejeezus out of me!

 

My mother told me "a woman gives birth to a baby" and that was all she said... so for a very long time I thought that the man had nothing to do with the making of the baby. When I was maybe 8 or 9, I read something in this educational children's book thingy which mentioned sperm and eggs and I asked my mother what exactly they were and she thought I was being cheeky and she shouted at me :/

 

I also asked my parents this question and she just said I would figure it out later in my study. Then I never ask again.

 

I don't remember ever asking them actually

 

I've never much liked babies, and always wanted to know how to make them go away.

But on a serious note, my folks did explain, and gave me this kids book called, "where Did I Come From?", and we talked about it. I was maybe 12?

 

Mom was gonna give me a magazine explaining things when I was about 12, but I found it earlier and figured it out .

Before then, I actually thought women were impregnated when a man inserted his penis in her belly button (never had seen female anatomy as a child so I had no idea what was down there :lol.

But my parents never actually told me where babies came from. We never got to that point. Though I'm sure I asked as a small child (I learned to speak in sentences and ask questions at around 1.5 and was quite inquisitive for my age, much to the chagrin of my parents (I'm told :lol), so I'm sure I asked some precocious questions I can't remember .

 

I never asked, but both of my brothers did, and my mom gave them accurate answers.

 

I truthfully never asked...nor did I care. However, my mom felt the need to tell me at the age of 9 when she caught me doing stuff...yeah. Not a pleasant memory to say the absolute least.

 

I never asked, so they didn't tell me.
Personal Development / Health or Biology class at school wasn't the first time I heard about it either.
Must have just worked it out somehow.

Maybe TV tought me???

 

I just put 2 and 2 together at about age 5. It's pretty easy to figure out.
