I thought that if you laid beside someone you loved ("slept with them") then you could get pregnant. Their love vibes would somehow float over and impregnate you.

I used to believe that you got pregnant by drinking the man's wee wee!! Yeuck! I was never having a baby!!

when i was 5 or 6 i used to think that if you ate an apple seed you could pregnant.

Laura

not strictly my own, but my nan told my mum that before she could get pregnant, the man had to bite her nipple off, i think she held this belief for years!

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!

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

When I was very young (about 5) I saw some commercial for AIDS or teen pregnancy and the commercial ended with something like "Make sure you know what your kids are thinking about sex.." And from then on i tried to never thing about sex or pregnant people because I thought if you thought about it you would become pregnant.

Back in my days of innocence, I used to believe that a man had to pee inside a woman for her to get pregnant. 16 now and still think of that...good thing I never tried it on with anyone as a young age...could have been a bit of a messy job.

When I was younger I thought that if you wanted a baby you had to kiss and hug someone, then eat lots of chocolate to make you really fat, then all of a sudden you would have a baby, and that you could eat lots of chocolate on purpose tto have a baby or just be fat and accidentally have one.

When I was about 4 I used to believe that when my parents said "Make a baby" I thought they were gonna make it with flour and eggs like a cake and cook it in the mums belly.

I remember when I was young I saw my mom eating a birth control pill, but I didn't know what is it for at that time. So I asked her and she said if she didn't take it, then I would suddenly have a little brother or sister. I thought when woman reach the age where they can have babies, the babies will automatically grow inside their stomachs and can only be stopped if you eat the pills. And if you forgot, then the baby will develop and you'll be pregnant.
Well, I was half right, but I never thought man had anything to do with that...

I believed up until about 10th grade that if you had sex while you were pregnant, you would have another baby! I always wondered how there could be enough room in the uterus!

odd child

I used to belieive that you can get pregnant by just thinking about it.

A stupid person

when i was little i was scared to hug males because i thought you would get pregnant. my mom used to watch soap operas and when they couples would be in bed i thought they were hugging really tight when they were really having sex so i thought if a male hugged me i'd get pregnant too :(

toni

when I was a kid, I used to believe that when the bride ate a piece of wedding cake at the reception, the cake was very special because it was eaten at a wedding, and it turned into a baby.

Jeffrey

I asked my mother once what I should I do if I didn't want children. She said that I should tell God if that was the case. After hearing this and seeing a cover of Time with a pregnant 11 or 12 year old on it I was convinced that God would just make me pregnant whenever He thought it was right and was paranoid that any movement in my stomach was a baby I wasn't ready enough to have. I lived my life in terror from that moment on until I learned the truth!

Kris

I used to believe that there was a hard way and an easy way to have a baby the easy way was to just wait to have a baby and the hard way was to have sex.I also used to believe that you could choose if you wanted to have a girl or a boy.

Before I knew how sex worked (I was in 4th grade, and in my area sex ed starts in 5th grade), I thought that you could only have babies when you're married. My friend (who's parents told him about sex) also said that, and I thought it was weird! How can whatever makes babies know if you are married? Then I thought of something having to do with the wedding ring putting pressure on your finger. My friend used terms like "egg" and "sperm" and I had no idea what they meant!

It wasn't until I heard them used to define sex when I understood!

Anon

When I was younger I thought you had to have an orgasm to get pregnant, like a man. So, needless to say, I tried for so long to make myself have one, (So I knew that I was fertile). When my doc told me I was wrong, I was so embarassed....but VERY relieved.

Ashley

this might be a common belief, i dont know. But when i was little i was very innocent, and i believed that to have children, all you had to do was become married. then, you would share a bed and if you wanted to, the woman would magically become pregnant. i dont know. its weird.
