I used to believe that when a woman wanted a child, she'd request one from God. God would then rub his hands together, and with ever circular motion, a baby would grow larger and larger. After the baby was fully complete, he would throw it, from Heaven, in the direction of the woman, where it would be magically put into her stomache.

I used to believe that before my sisters and I were born, we all lived one on top of another in my Mum's torso, against a red background, until we came out in order. We had our own oven and stove.

I used to believe that some men went to prostitutes in order to have babies.

When I was about 3 or 4 there were some really fun teenagers that lived across the street that used to play with me. I really wanted an older brother, so I asked my Mom to go to the firestation and pick up one up. I don't remember anyone telling me babies came from a firestation, but I was sure that was the place to go!

I was 4 years old at the time and got out of bed one night, looking for my mom and dad. I was too small to reach the light for the staircase, so I called out, "MOMMY?". In seconds, her and dad were sitting at the top of the stairs.

They must have thought I heard something, because I asked, "What are you doing?" My dad answered, "We were making babies".

I asked, "How do you make babies?"..and he said, "When you love someone very, very much...that's how babies are made"..and from there, my Mom and Dad asked me to come up and cuddle with them.

We all sat there at the top of the stairwell and the three of us cuddled for, what seemed like forever!!

Months later, when my mom was getting close to giving birth, my dad took me aside and said, "Remember the night when we cuddled on the stairs and loved each other sooo much?...well, because you, Mommy, and me...loved each other sooo very much...you're going to have a new little sister."

Nobody can even imagine the pride I felt, thinking that I had a part in loving my mom and dad sooo much that I'd get a new "little sister"!!

I used to believe that you took The Pill to get pregnant. It took a very confusing letter to Ann Landers to prompt me to ask my mom about it.

when my 5th grade sex ed teacher was talking about dialation during childbirth, I raised my hand and asked" what does her eye-sight have to do with anything?"

When I was a little girl, my mother told me that my cousin was an "accident." I couldn't figure out how a couple had sex accidentally, so I assumed that while the couple was sleeping, the man's penis could "sniff out" a woman's menstrual blood, and unbeknownst to either partner, engage in sexual intercourse. Thus, my cousin was an "accident."

My mom was typically skittish about explaining sex and reproduction to me. At some point she must have explained having babies as something that happened after a man and a woman got married. I have no concious memory of this, but I literally believed that having a baby was not possible until a woman was married. I was completely bewildered when my favorite babysitter couldn't babysit me anymore because, as my mother put it, she was going to have a baby. My reaction: "But how can she have a baby? She's not married!"

Myself and my siblings and cousins all used to believe that if you had sex missionary style you had a boy, and if the woman was on top you would have a girl. And if you did it like the dogs down the street would, that you would have puppies like them. Boy we were strange! lol

My parents told us that babies came from the cabbage patch. When 6 my little sister was born in Aug just after dad had planted the cabbages for the new season. My sister and I panicked every year for a while when dad planted cabbages but couldn't understand why there were no more babies until Mum and Dad explained to us.

Well believe this or not and it is so stupid but i used to believe you got babies out of catalogues!!!!!

During the summer when school was out I would have to watch the Soaps with my nannie. Since we lived in the south and this was in the 1960's no one in our family openly discussed how a women became pregnant. But I remember the seeing the ladies on the television sitting on the sofas with their husbands/boyfriends. They would sit close, holding each other and kissing. As the scene would fade out the couple fell backward. Then came the commercials. Well next weeks episode the lady always told the man she was pregnant. So...I figured that as long as I did not sit on a sofa and kiss falling backward I would get pregnant. I kept that belief until I turned 15 years old!

i used to believe that babies grew in the ground and that they were hatched from potapoes

I used to believe that if a woman ate too much and she kissed a man she loved, that his magically love-enhanced spit would come down and touch all the food she ate and turn it into a baby. Only the spit of the man that she loved could change the large amount of food that made her stomach so big into a baby though. That's where I thought babies came from.

My mom is a nurse, so when she explained sex to me, she naturally used all the proper words and was very techincal about the whole thing. She told me about the fallopian tubes and the vas deferens... and I was only nine! This led me to believe that sex was something you had to go to the hospital to do!

When I was little, my mom saw me playing with myself (innocently, of course) and said, "Don't do that. That's how babies are made." After that, I stopped, because I didn't want to get pregnant. ;) For awhile I was telling people that it was true: men could give birth, too!

Ben

when i was little, i thought babies were made by your mum and your dad pressing their belly buttons together when they kissed after saying "i do"...guess i was wrong since theres me AND my brother and my parents only got married once...
