If a woman wanted a baby, she wouldeat baby food, this would make a baby in her stomach. She would then poo it out. =]

My mum explained to me that a man must give a woman his seed (it means semen in my language) when they want a baby. And I imagined it looks like that fluffy dandelion seed which woman needs to swallow.

When I was in the fourth grade my cousin told me how you get pregnant: You have to have sex for a solid hour or more. She said if you stop before an hour you wouldn't get pregnant. I told her i would never go over an hour because I didn't want kids. I thought it was a valuble peice of information and told my friends. They also believed me. I didn't know about birth control.

i was about 8 or 9 and a male cousin(im female) told me that women got pregnant because when they have sex the skin rubbed off the guys penis and that made u pregnant!

When my parents first told me about the birds and the bees they used veyr scientific language. So they said, "The man plants the seed within the woman." I thought the seed was just any old seed so one day when I found a cotton seed I handed it to my dad and asked him to put it into my mom's bellybutton so that I could have a sibling. It took me a couple of years to find out the "real story" and it wasn't as pretty.

I heard a news story about women and jogging and it mentioned that women who jog had healthy pregnancies and totally misunderstood it.
Some time later my mom and her friend were talking about babies and my mom commented that I didn't know where they came from and I piped in that I did - jogging.

when i was a little kid, i thought i had invented the condom. i heard about accidental pregnancies and thought, "hey! why doesn't the boy put a plastic bag over his thing?!" i thought i was a genious!

I believed when I was really little, that if you went into Mothercare you would become pregnant.

when i was younger, i believed that girls got pregnate by eating peas. because of the little seeds on the inside. my cousin had a poster on her wall that had a bunch of pea pods and babies inside them... that is was gave me the idea. i didn't eat peas for as long as i could remember and it was hard because i loved them.

This is something my mother admit to believing as a child:

When my mother was young she for some reason believed that if a man farted on a woman she would become pregnant...since she did manage to have me and my two sisters I guess she eventually figured out this was wrong

i used to believe that gettin pregnant was like ordering a pizza, you'd phone up a special number and get a baby within 30 minitues or the next one would be free. lol boy was i wrong.!!!!!!!!

I thought women got pregnant by eating watermelon seeds. needless to say I never ate them until I was aware of the truth....about age 11.

When I was in about 4th grade in catholic school they finally gave us a sex-ed class. Much of what the teacher told us I already knew... but then they began to discuss how in some cases they need take the egg out of the woman and fertilize it in a dish and put it back in the woman. Knowing that masturbation is looked down upon by the church, I remember asking how they got the sperm out of the man, but I don't remember getting any answer..... I went on to believe there must be some sort of surgery involved.

I always thought that you get babies from adding water to baby powder...

When I was little, a friend offered to share her chewing gum (already chewed) with me and I told her I couldn't because I didn't want to get pregnant!

I used to think that the way mommies got pregnant was if they ate a lot.

i used to believe:

that when 2 people got married and put their wedding rings on each other, they became pregnant. my mom was a single mom for a really long time and i wanted a baby sister. i remember lying in my bed at night wondering if i had a ring that i could sneak onto her ring finger in the middle of the night, so i could get a baby sister.

There was this girl who thought her mum became pregnant by drinking water and that we shouldn't drink any ourselves.
(she was only 5 then!! bless her!)

when i got my first period, my mom had told me that i was able to get pregnant now. and she didnt think she would have to tell me about the birds and bees again so she thought i understood that i had to have sex to have a baby.but i forgot all about it. so i layed upstairs in my bed as flat as a board so i wouldnt scrunch up my belly and make it bigger and get pregnant. until after about 4 hours my mom came up and sorted it all out with me haha

When I was a little girl I thought that virginity was a diease that prevented a woman from becoming pregnant. I thought this because the church I went to said it was a miracle for the virgin mary to becoming pregnant. I was 13 before I found out what it really meant.
