My mum had a friend who was brought up on a farm, ans she led quite a sheltered life.She believed that if you "courted" a boy for 9 months you would automatically become pregant. Subsequently she finished with all her boyfriends after 8 and a half months...she still single now at the age of 66!
A childhood belief about getting pregnant
