You guys need some anatomy lessons. Women are born with all the oocytes (eggs) they will ever have. They don't make them on demand like dudes do sperm. So it is entirely accurate to say any children a woman will have are already in her ovaries, barring circumstances like surrogacy, adoption, etc.

I'm not saying that eggs are not inside the ovaries, I'm saying that eggs are not children.

I mean, sperm aren't children either.

And neither are fetuses. Birth turns a fetus into a child. His grandchildren don't exist yet.
