Growing up, my mom always wanted us to use our towels 2-3 times before getting a new one. For the longest time, I believed that I could get pregnant by accidentally using my brother's towel. It grossed me out and scared me to death so I would always make sure my towel was totally different from his and if they touched on the rack, I'd only barely use it - just in case.

When I was little I asked my Mom where babies came from and she told me that you went to Church and prayed for them. I pictured all these women kneeling in church pews, praying for babies, and walking out pregnant. I believed this for a long time, but finally found out the truth when I got married. (just kidding)

Not my Belief but my mom's: My mom knew what being pregnany was and that they eventually had a baby, but she had no idea how they got pregnant, her grandpa everytime they saw a pregnant woman, would say "opps, she swallowed a watermelon seed" so, for quite a while she believed this...

When I was little, I would sleep in the same bed as my mom (my dad worked nights Mon-Fri) because I was too afraid to sleep in my own room. When I was five I found out that my mother was pregnant with a little girl. My mother said it was my little sister. I was baffeled by something, I thought that since I slept in the same bed as my mother that the baby was my daughter (obviously I didn't know about sex at the time). About three years later I was amazed after I asked that famous question "Where do babys come from?"! Unfortunetly my parents told the truth!

When I was little i used to believe that to get pregnat the boy had to put his finger in your belly button. so everytime a boy came around me I would cover my belly and say,"Dont get your nasty fingers around my belly button!"..... I always wondered why they looked at me so funny.

when I was like 10 my friend told me that she had this special lotion that if you used it you would get pregnant. Well I wanted a baby (not knowing what that involved) amd went home and used her lotion. Needless to say, I didn't get pregnant.

My mom was learning to drive around the time that she was pregnant with my youngest brother (I was about 8 years old when he was born). I remember thinking that "pregnant" had something to do with getting a driver's license.

For years I thought that in order to get pregnent, a woman had to be "blessed" by God. I had a friend whose parents were never married, and I thought, "wouldn't it be terrible if God decided you should be pregnant if you didn't have a husband?". I thought that my dad was only part of the family legally; because he and my mom were married; I didn't think we were related biologically at all.

God does bless the woman - with a man!

When I was like 5 my mom was pregnant with my younger brother, i asked my step-dad how my mom became pregnant and he told me that he put an orange seed in her belly button and it grows a baby. lol i silly enough beleived this and alwyas made sure i spat my orange seeds out! lol

I was at the local pool one day and was eating a huge bag of grapes. My mum told me that if I ate too many grapes I'd end up like the woman sitting near us. The woman was pregnant, but mum meant that I would get a bloated belly. Naturally I concluded that eating grapes made you pregnant!

When i was young i thought you got pregnant by pee.

stupid kid

i used to think that if anything too hard touched my butt i would get pregnant to i tried not to sit too flat down on chairs

I used to think that a man and woman would kiss at night in bed and the next morning the woman would wake up pregnant w/a big belly and the next day they would have a baby and you could choose if it was a boy or girl as soon as it was born.

I used to believe that you had to be on your period to get pregnant........

When I was 7 my mom got pregnant with my second younger brother. I was curious where babies came from and some one told me it was from eating watermelon seeds. I was deathly afraid of watermelons until my mom figures it out and gave me a 7-year-old's version of the sex talk.

I used to believe that pregnancy was entirely spontaneous, and didn't realise that men had anything to do with it.

In my first sex ed class they taught us about ejaculation but didn't explain the specifics. Until I got old enough and started "experimenting", I thought that the man had to pee in the girl to get her pregnant.

When I was 8, I was playing tug-of-war with my classmates and a boy fell on top of me and I was positive that I'd get pregnant. I was so upset because I hated the boy. I told my older sister and she just laughed at me and told me that I was fine. I guess I just didn't understand that there was more involved than that.

When I was a child I believed that in order to have children (get pregnant) the man had to spit in the womans mouth to get her pregnant. Doing that would start the growth of the baby.

When I was little I used to believe that women prayed to get pregnant. I would sit in church and here them talk about how they had prayed and prayed and finally a baby came--so I never had to aks the dreaded question.
