I knew about sex pretty early on, but when I was very little, like 3 or 4, I used to be terrified of boys because I thought that when they touched you, they're cooties would get you pregnant.

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...

I had a cousin who used to always like playing tricks on younger kids. When I was 6, she overheard me begging my mom for a little sister since I was the only girl. She came up to me and told me that if I ate the inside of a loaf of french bread without anyone seeing me, I would get pregnant so I did that.
Later that day I sat watching TV with my brother all excited about the fact that I was pregnant and coincidentaly this woman giving birth was screaming her head off so I went to my mom crying. When she asked me what was wrong I said I was pregnant!
At the end my brother had more to get excited about because he knew where babies came from

Because TV programems used to always talk about "Keeping" the baby I was convinced until the age of 12 that you got pregnant randomly and then you had sex to keep it- if you ignored it, the baby would go away from inside you.

When I was very young (about 4), I was told that I looked like my dad, but I had my mom's eyes and hair. I knew that I came out of Mommy's tummy, so I wondered how it could possibly be that I would look like my dad. The reason had to be, of course, that when a couple wanted to have a baby, they sat facing each other and STARED at each other really, really hard and decided then and there who's eyes the baby would have, whose hair, etc. I was living proof that this technique works, after all!

Shelly

When I was kid I thought in order to get pregnant the mother take a pill with either a girl or a boy picture stamped on it.

When I was little, about 4 or 5 years old, I thought to have a baby all you had to do was say out loud "I want to have a baby." One day I said that and I started crying almost because I thought I was actually going to have one!

When I was about 5 years old I was on the school bus with one of my best guy friends. He asked me if we could live together when we were grown-ups. I told him no because my cousins had recently moved in with men and gotten pregnant and I didnt want to.

That night I asked my mom if there was anything I could do to not get pregnant and she told me (red faced) that if you didnt want a baby you didnt have one. I was amazed at this "mind over matter" power all our bodied had and my mom didn't give me any more advice on contraception for quite a while!

When I was younger, I thought a woman could get pregnant by herself. I didnt think we needed a guy, so when I was young, all the guys said thier nasty little comments and i said "well, we dont need you to make babies, we can do it ourselves."
everyone believed me too.

Jennica

My sister told me this-I BELIEVED HER, haha.

A man would stick his "Finger" into a womans "Hairy Armpit". Then, fish would swim out of his finger, and meet up with the chicken eggs in her armpit. They would migrate down to her SPLEEN and grow into a baby. Then, the woman would poop it out.

What really mystified me was that, well, I never found any fish on my finger!!!!!

This happened when I was 6. At 11, I was watching a sex ed video, and asked the teacher what kind of fish were in your finger. IN FRONT OF THE WHOLE CLASS. Every 11 year old boy in the school heard me.

Embarrased sister hater

I was told by a friend who's mother told her that if you wash a man and woman's underwear together, then the woman could get pregnant after she wore them again.

Donna

When I was about 10 years old, I knew that a penis had to go in a vagina to make a baby, but all I could imagine a man could do when his penis was inside was to urinate. I was so sure that the words "God shed his grace on me" meant that he peed inside of a woman. Doesn't seem very logical now, but it made sense to me at the time.

Nancy

I used to believe that when a lady wanted to have a baby, she went to the doctor and let him know, and the doctor gave her an injection or tablet or something, and she became pregnant.

Gemma

My mom told me that babies came from seeds so i thought that you went to a store and bought a package of baby seeds and then a woman swallowed one and became pregnant

Anon

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?

A.J.

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.

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.

Anon

when i was around 1st grade age, i was always scared that i was going to get pregnant, since i didn't know the facts of life yet. around that time we had a family reunion at my aunt's house. all the kids were going to sleep over, so i had to share a bed with my cousin paul, who is my age. a few days later, i asked my mom how women get pregnant, and she said, "as long as u don't sleep in the same bed as a boy, u won't get pregnant." she couldn't understand why i burst out in tears!

Until I was 13, I thought one could get pregnant from anal sex. Having seen one of those 'visible human' models, I got the mistaken idea that everything in the abdomen was somehow interconnected.

Heather

As a child I believed that to make babies a man and a woman made a hot dog together. I was told that men had “wieners” and assumed that women would go to the grocery store to buy buns.
