I used to think that you had to have sex to have a boy but you would just get pregnant with a girl when you reached a certain age.

I was a stupid kid

I used to believe that in order to get pregnant you had to eat a lot of food, get really fat, and then...out pops a baby!

When I was in grade school I must have heard somewhere (probably on tv)that a woman got pregnant after she and a man "slept together," so I asked my sister (5 years older)why my Mom wasn't pregnant when she slept with Dad every night. She told me, "Well, they don't just lay side by side in their pajamas, they have to be naked and then the man climbs on top of the woman and then they DO IT." After this conversation I believed that a couple stripped naked, got into bed with the man on top of the woman and then just slept like that all night, and this would make the woman pregnant. I thought it was understandable that my Mom wouldn't want to have any more kids because it would be awfully uncomfortable for her to have to sleep with my Dad laying on top of her when he is so much bigger and heavier than she is.

I used to believe that if I swallowed the watermelon seeds I'd get pregnant.

When I was about 5 I told my mother I knew how babies were made. Curious of what I had to say she asked me how. I told her that a man and woman take off their clothes and kiss each others "privates" Needless to say we had the sex talk. Where in the world did I get that from???

when i was a little kid and my parents told me then storks bought babies i believed them. but in later years they explained about sex. i still thought storks brought kids to i thought the stork had sex with u so you could have a kid.

i was so sweet and innocent then

I used to think test tube babies were literally grown in test tubes... and that they would start out in a small one but by 9 months they would be in a really big test tube

When I was young and asked where babies came from I was told you had to put a 20 pence piece under your pillow..... having tried this with no baby as a result my parents told me it only worked for grown ups!

I used to believe that every time a couple had sex, the woman got pregnant. One day my mom was talking to her friend about another woman who was pregnant. She asked if it was planned, and I couldn't for the life of me figure out how it could NOT be planned. I mean, wouldn't you realize you were having sex?

When I was young I recall knowing that you had to insert your penis into a woman's vagina to get pregnant. The part I had wrong was that I thought you had to urinate inside her to make a baby!!

When I was little, I asked my mother where babies come from. She thought I said "rabies." She answered "From a dog bite." Then the lady down the street gave birth to triplets. I figured she must have been bitten by a great dane. :-)

my sis told me that my dad had a baby and for awhile after i thought my dad really did have baby and that any man can have a baby.....

I always used to wonder why women said they were "trying" to get pregnent. I thought that babies just appeared in the women's stomach (I didn't understand the concept of a womb either)if she hoped hard enough, and the women only knew when their bellies began getting big. I believed this even after I learned about sex!

Raine

I used to think people got pregnant by just sleeping together. Literally just laying in bed next to eachother. If they slept too close they'd get pregnant. So I was scared to sleep with my sisters because we might sleep too close or something and I'd get pregnant.

Chelsea

I used to believe that the only way you would get pregnant is if you prayed to God enough.

Chad

I used to think you could only get pregnant if you had sex while on your period.

for awhile (thanks to my dad) I believed that a girl got pregnant from touching a doorknob at the same time as a boy from opposite sides, when I started walking around trying to open doorknobs with my elbows, my mom noticed and asked me about it, when I said "I'm trying ot to get pregnant" - she went and found my dad and told him to "fix me". So he told me that you could get pregnant only if you drank from the same cup as a boy - I never even shared a cup with girls - just in case!

When I was a little kid, I didn't believe in the stork. I believed that women became pregnant as a physiological reaction to being in mutual love. (Maybe that's how it SHOULD be.)

Reverend Flash

When was younger, i belived that getting pregnant was not a choice, that one day you just woke up in the middle of the night with a big belly and yelled,"Oh no, my water broke!" and then your husband would rush you to the hospital. And if you were lucky enough to know you were pregnant in advance you could take a girl pill or a boy pill to determine the gender. And when I was very very young and had jsut found out about babies, my mom had told me that they came oput of your tummy.I remeber having this vision of someones big belly hatching open like a chicken egg and a feathery baby climbling out...i was a weird one.
