A childhood belief about getting pregnant

I overheard my mother tell her friend that if a man looks at her she gets pregnant ( my mother had nine children). I was very worried for her, but it never crossed my mind that it could happen to me.
When I was older my mother told me that holding hands could get me pregnant and I took it literally, I didn't realize she meant it could lead to other behavior.
