When I was 5 my mother had twins. I was overjoyed at having a new brother and sister but they had stolen my bedroom (the big one) and I had to move into the little room. To be assured that I would be not kicked out of this room I asked my mother one day if she had had her baby maker turned off. I'm not sure where I came up with the idea but I can clearly remember what a "baby maker" looked like. I thought there was a metal tube inside a woman that made babies and when a woman decided to not have any more children the doctor would turn the big red switch on the side to OFF. My mother assured me that her baby maker had been turned off.

When I was little, I had a friend who told me one day that she NEVER wanted to have a baby.. because she didn't want to have the operation to get pregnant. I was perplexed as I had never heard this theory before, and I told her she was wrong. She proceeded to explain how a doctor needed to remove a chunk of the husbands flesh from his body, and then surgically insert it into the womans body. I wanted to believe she was wrong, but at the same time, I had no better theory, so I went along with it too.
when i was 7ish i used to think that you got a girl pregnant by peeing in them

As a child I was told that if a girl wanted to get pregnant all she had to do was hold a boys hand! Thank god for sex ed, I never would hold a guys hand!!!

I am the baby of 4 sisters and to keep me from being interested in boys my dad told me that if I was to talk to boys on the phone I would get pregnant. I believed this story into my teen years and never talked to boys... Until I saw the "GIRLS ONLY FILM". This is when I told my dad that babies don't come from a phone, your silly dad.
I used to believe that pregnant women were not really pregnant. My dad always told me not to eat the black watermelon seeds cuz if i did i would grow a watermelon in my tummy. One day we were at the mall and a very pregnant walked by and my dad said to me "See, she ate a watermelon seed." That scared me out of eating watermelon seeds to this day.

I used to believe that all you had to do to get pregnant was to kiss a man while you were naked under the sheets.
Then the next day you had to eat a lot of food to get your stomach fat, and make sure that you eat a lot of animal body parts like turkey necks, chicken legs, an entire turkey for the body, pig lips, peas for eyes,chicken feet for feet, finger food for fingers, and so on. But that Always left me wondering how vegetarians became pregnant.

One time when I was really little I asked my mom where babies came from. (Now, I knew that if a woman was pregnant she was going to have a baby, but I didn't know how she got pregnant) Since my mom thought I was too young to know, she told me that babies came from God. This led me to believe that when a couple wanted a baby, they had to pray really hard and God would sort of plant a baby insided of them... which led me to believe that girl babies came from women, and boy babies came from men (with beer bellies!)
when i was about 5 or so, me and my mom were talking, and somehow the subject became babies, birth, things like that (i still didnt know how babies were made though). i also dont know how this came up, but my mom told me that my babysitter was old enough to have a baby. my babysitter then was like...15 or so, and i was shocked. before this conversation, my mom had always told me that people could only have babies after they got married (believing in no pre-marital sex) and my 15-year-old was definitely not married. of course she was talking about menstruating and stuff, meaning she was just capable of having a baby. i had no clue about this, so i was SOOOOO deathly afraid that when i got to be her age, that i would just magically become pregnant, just out of the blue. i wondered how so many girls managed to stay un-pregnant because this could just happen to anyone when you were old enough...oh, how naive i was...
i know a lot more than i did then
When I was a child, I used to believe that women had seeds in their stomachs.
When a seed sprout, the belly grew and that meant the woman was pregnant and expecting a child.

I used to believe if you had sex only once then you could have a baby any random time

i used to believe that women get pregnant when they sleep right next to a man, literally, as opposed to the term, "I slept with him."

When I was little, and still to this day, my mom tells me the same story.
"Babies are made when the daddy gives the mommy a seed". That's about all she told me, so of course I was very confused and sort of figured out my own conclusion. I thought the "daddy" had a "seed" (like the flower kind), and he gave it to the "mommy", and then she would take that seed and somehow stick it up her butt, and out came the baby! LOL!!
I was told as a child that I would get pregnant, if, I got in the tub without washing it...after a man or boy got a bath....of course I realized (as I got older) that my mother was just using that as a way of getting me to scrub that darn tub...lol
clean freak...
When I asked my mother how babies were made, she told me that the man plants a seed inside the woman, and a baby grows from there. Now, me being a farmer's son, had this weird image in my head of a tractor towing a planter, and trying to plant seeds inside women. A few years later I found out at school how the whole process actually worked!!

I used to believe that you got pregnant just in the same way you caught a cold. A man would cough on you or sneeze on you.

I used to believe that if 2 persons got married and wanted a baby they had to talk to Santa Clause, and give him a beautiful cake then he would make the momy pregnant and in about 9 months she would have to go to the doctor. The doctor then got the baby out of the woman's stoamch with a spoon.

When I was in the fourth grade my cousin told me how you get pregnant: You have to have sex for a solid hour or more. She said if you stop before an hour you wouldn't get pregnant. I told her i would never go over an hour because I didn't want kids. I thought it was a valuble peice of information and told my friends. They also believed me. I didn't know about birth control.

I still have no idea why I believed this or how I even thought of it, but I was a very imaginative child. Anyway, I used to belive that a woman got pregnent because a man from the hospital would break into the house at night and put a baby in her tummy. Then, a few months later, she would go to the hospital and have the baby. It's like a scarier version of the stork.
Another weird belief...my much older cousin said one day she was never ever going to have a baby. I told her that because she was a girl, she had to have one, because all women have a baby. I thought it was a natural thing. You eat, you sleep, and if your a girl, you have a baby.
