When I was little and my mother gave me the 'Talk', she was kinda embarrassed and didn't explain it well. She swore me to secrecy about sex, so the next day I went and told all my friends that women got pregnant when the man pees into them.

When I was a little girl the boy next door tole me that babies were mae when the boy peed in the girl's belly button. We tried it and I fully believed I was going to have a baby!

Until I was 14 years old I thought you got pregnant when a boy pee'd in you....no one ever explained that something ELSE came out of the "pee pee"

When I was younger, my mom gave me a book on "Your Body Changing". It wasn't the best written book, and I thought that you could only have a baby if a woman was starting her period. I thought that that was a logical explination for why some couple had trouble having a baby.

When I was really young I thought that you bought a baby kit from a department store like Penny's, because my mom told me that she had bought my baby stuff at Target.

I was so scared when i was about 5 and my mum got pregnant. She came running up To me and was jumping around and said " hunny, mummy is going to have another baby!" and i blurted out DONT JUMP MUMMY OR YOU WILL BREAK THE EGG! I used to think that there was an egg inside you that popped out, and then the baby hatch!

what_was_i_thinking!

I used to believe that if you drink vinegar and took a douch after sex you wouldnt get pregnant.

You will never no

I overheard my mother tell her friend that if a man looks at her she gets pregnant ( my mother had nine children). I was very worried for her, but it never crossed my mind that it could happen to me.
When I was older my mother told me that holding hands could get me pregnant and I took it literally, I didn't realize she meant it could lead to other behavior.

I used to believe that you got pregnant by the other person peeing on you "down there".

I used to believe that God gave you a baby when he thought you should have one. I continued to believe this after having to drop out of college and get married. When my daughter was 4 months old I thought I was pregnant again and I FLIPPED OUT! My best friend, who was NOT Catholic explained birth control to me. I'm glad she did! I am done after 2 kids.

I used to believe that if you went swimming after you got your first period, then you could get pregnant.

Mel

I used to believe for the longest time until I was around age 8 that you got pregnant simply by getting naked and being near a person of the oppisite sex.

When I was about four, my parents were applying for a home loan.(so I discovered later.) At the time, I was very confused by it all. It was all they talked about. "We should apply..." was the only thing I heard. When I asked what 'appllying' meant, mum told me it meant 'asking permission from somebody to get something.' I gradually started to believe they meant they were 'appllying' for a child. I thought that if you wanted a baby, you had to apply. My parents also said "Maybe we're not eligable..." A few times. I asked what that meant too. I was told it meant 'able to get.' It came to my conclusion that some parents didn't have children because they "wern't eligible." I felt so smart about discovering that. What it made it even funnier was that my mother actally got pregnant! I screamed with joy "So you got permission?!?"
Now, I have scared many of pregnant women by asking them: "Are you sure your eligible? Do you have permission?"

i used to think that people get pregnant when they eat alot and all the food in their tummy turns into a baby.

My son believed for the longest time that the doctor put my daughter in my tummy when I was pregnant. He went around telling everyone that her dad was the doctor, not my husband

Anon

i used to believe that if you jump up and down after having sex, you won't get pregnant.

Angela

I used to believe that the lint in belly buttons was the material you had to make babies. I was scared to clean it out because I thought that then I couldn't have children.

Temptress

I always thought in order to have a baby you had to lick a girl's vagina. Then I found the truth. Things made a lot more sense.

I was raised in a Christian family, and so I would always be reading stories in Genesis where someone 'lies with their wife' and their wife is 'with child'. So until I finally asked The Question I always thought that pregnancy was this magical thing that happened when women had been sharing a bed with their husband. I thought it travelled through the air.

I used to believe that after a certain age women just got pregnant at random, like one day they would just wake up pregnant with no say in the matter whatsoever.
