I was raised in a Christian family, and so I would always be reading stories in Genesis where someone 'lies with their wife' and their wife is 'with child'. So until I finally asked The Question I always thought that pregnancy was this magical thing that happened when women had been sharing a bed with their husband. I thought it travelled through the air.
