This section contains beliefs all on a common theme: Brides become pregnant at the wedding. Show most recent or highest rated first or go back to getting pregnant.
Once when I was five my best friend told me that women got pregnant by kissing a man and then "wrestling" with him. I got so scared because that very day I had kissed a boy at school and then rolled around with him on the grass at recess.
I also used to believe that a woman automatically got pregnant as soon as she got married. I was freaked out and was afraid to get married. I thought that a magic bug came out of the preacher when he said "you may kiss the bride". For a really long time I was afraid of my pastor at church. Don't ask where this came from!
Because of this weird theory, my friend and I would always get in arguments when we played Barbies. She always wanted to make the non-married "girls" pregnant. I would yell at her that this couldn't happen. :P

I used to believe that people got pregnant by kissing on their marriage day.

When I was little I thought you would get pregnant automatically if you got married. So one day I saw my parents' wedding picture and I was wondering why my mom wasn't pregnant.

As a small child I believed that when you got married you instantly became pregnant (this probably had something to do with being raised amongst mormon family who always popped out at least one immediatly after getting married).
I used to believe that when a couple kissed at their wedding, that was when the woman got pregnant.

Being raised Catholic helped me come up with my own version of "how babies were made". I was convinced (up to age 10) that the ONLY way to become pregnant was to get married in church AND be sprinkled with holy water by the priest. Of course, that explained the first child. What I couldn't come up with was a good explanation on how to get pregnant with a second child WITHOUT having to get married again.

I used to believe that you could only have a baby if you were married and that it must be something to do with the ring, or whatever it was when they left the room in the middle of the wedding ceremony (to sign the register, I now know). I was confused, though, because most of the brides round our way were pregnant.

I used to believe that you had to be married to have babies, and that what got the woman pregnant was the kiss which takes place at the end of the wedding ceremony.

When I was little, all the books on conception said the sperm went into the egg, but never said where the sperm or egg was in the man and woman's body. I had a vague idea, but how did one travel to the other?
I assumed that when you got married, and you kissed the bride, a sperm went out the man's mouth into the woman's, and traveled down to her stomach, and she would get pregnant.
