when i was five or six, I used to believe that women got pregnant when they drank slim fast (I have no idea why)... I remember that my mom let me have a taste of it once and I was convinced that I was pregnant. I would stick my belly out as far as I could and see if anyone noticed that I was "expecting"

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 took a sex ed class and i guess the teacher didnt explain it very well. i thought the the sperm crawled out of the boy and into the girl. so i never sat near a boy because his sperm might crawl into me and make me pregnant.

When I was a small boy, I had a friend over, and we were playing an we stumbled upon my mothers wedding ring, I decided to put it on, after I did, my friend exclaimed, "HaHa! Now your pregnant!" fortunately, my parents had told me about sex when I was five, so I knew otherwise, but I still thought that you you just rubbed your "things" together, without any form of penetration, I believed this for a couple of years.

Peter, bigger, badder, more informed.

When I was really young, I used to believe that the reason I had a slightly round belly was because I had become pregnant from sharing a bath with my brother...

I used to believe that girls got pregnant by using the same wash cloth as a man. If the man had washed his "private parts" with the wash cloth & a lady washed HERS w/ the same wash cloth - BAM! You'd be pregnant. I always made sure to never touch my brother or dads wash cloth in the shower!

When I was little I overheard my mom talking about one of her friends who was pregnant. She was saying how the friend was pretty nervous about everything because "she had suffered from miscarriage before." I thought she was saying "Miss Carriage" and couldn't understand why people would make fun of her for being pregnant!

My science teacher told me that when you reach puberty, the stuff that makes a woman pregnant begins to appear in your *urine*. I was forced to draw the conclusion that a man had to pee inside the woman to make her pregnant!

Rob

I used to believe that I wouldn't get pregnant if I went to bed with a man as long as I had knickers on-this stopped the sperm even though it had managed run across the bed from him to me!

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

Me and my friend that i grew up with believe the first child came with the marriage and every child after that you had to have sex with. so we would argue whether we were created by sex or we were teh auto marriage child.

I used to believe you could get pregnant by eating a whole jar of peanut butter. My mom couldn't figure out why I refused PB&J sandwiches for months on end! Needless to say, when I found out the truth, I didn't trust my babysitter anymore!

Before I knew anything about sex, my mom told me that she took birth control pills because she didn't want to have another baby. So, until I learned about the birds and the bees, I thought that once you reach a certain age, you would just spontaneously become pregnant, unless you took the little pill.

When I was little my Mum told me that a man and woman had to press there belly buttons together in order to make a baby. I told all my friends at school, and because no one told them anything different thats what we all believed.

When I was younger I used to think that the way people got pregnant was because they got a tiny tiny baby, like from a ceral box, and ate them and then the baby grew bigger inside the womans stomach 'til it was ready and it came out of their belly button.

Kellogg's makes babies!

I used to believe that you had to have sex for 24 hours to get pregnant.

Heather

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.

Mo

I used to believe when the bride and groom kissed at the wedding, something passed from his mouth to hers to get her pregnant. Babies took a year to be born, and ALL babies were born one year after marriage.

When I was 6 or 7 I was in the car with my older brother, sister, and my mum. My older sister was talking about her period maybe starting soon, and my mom was talking about how its just unfertilized babies. (lol) So I said intelligently, "I want to know how cavemen has babies". and My mum turned around to look at me but said nothing. So I went on, "Well, you have to take a pill to have a baby, right? So how did they get those pills?" And abruptly all three of the elders doubled over laughing!!

Lauren (I WANT A PILL!)

When I was very young I thought all women were born pregnate and as you grew up the baby inside you developed until you eventually gave birth. So was a toddler I'd go around rubbing my belly and telling people I was pregnate.
