getting pregnant

i used to think that:
1. women became pregnant if they loved their husband enough
2. babies developed in the stomach
3. babies came out the pee hole

I used to believe that one needed to marry to produce babbies

When I was little, for a long time I thought that when two people got married, the woman would become pregnant simply by magic. I also thought that that people gave birth through something like a C section, and that somehow the amount of times someone magically becomes pregnant depends on race. Not quite sure how I came to that conclusion...

When I was 6, I believed that birth control pills were eggs, and women would take them when they wanted to get pregnant. My grandparents were catholic and had 13 children. I asked my mom why grandma took so many "birth" pills. She was so confused.

I used to think that, when a female ovulated, if the egg stuck to the inside of the uterus, she got pregnant, and if it didn't, she had a period. Obviously, they missed a key point when they taught us about women's bodies in school!

i swear this is a real memory i have.... my mom told me when i was very young (maybe around 7 or 8?) that girls got pregnant by eating a piece of the man's penis - like in a salad or soup. i shared this knowledge with a friend & my mom got a phone call from the friend's mother that i was making up sex stories.

When my mom gave me the talk, she added in that you could also buy the sperm to get pregnate.

So I thought if you wanted to get pregnate but you didn't have a husband or couldn't get pregnate form sex, all you had to do was go to any old pharmacy and look at the top of the shelf (where only adults could reach) and grab a jar a sperm and when you bought it, you would eat the sperm and you would instantly be pregnate...

When I was a child I used to believe that if the man sucked on the womes's breasts she would give birth to a baby.

I used to think the inauguration was when some one had sex to have their child.

I used to believe that all girls one day just became pregnant. Like at some magical age it just happened.

I was raised in a very religious household and repeatedly told over the years that I could get pregnant even during my period. I took this to mean that you could only get pregnant during your period. When I lost my virginity at 17, I told the guy we didn't need to worry about a condom, because I wasn't on my period. Thankfully, I didn't get pregnant. Thanks, abstinence only education!

When I was about 13 or 14 to keep my sister and I from having sex and getting pregnant as teenagers, she told us that you could get pregnant from sitting on a toilet seat that had pee on it, and to always wipe the seat off.

When I was 7 my mom got pregnant with my second younger brother. I was curious where babies came from and some one told me it was from eating watermelon seeds. I was deathly afraid of watermelons until my mom figures it out and gave me a 7-year-old's version of the sex talk.

I used to think you could just GET pregnant - I had no idea how, I thought girls just randomly became pregnant. I was soooo worried I might get pregnant. It took me awhile to figure it out (and some sex ed classes at school...)

I used to believe that if a woman was having twins, it meant that she had sex twice while she was trying to get pregnant, three times with triplets, and so on...

I used to believe that people got pregnant just by spending a lot of time together, and then the sperm from the man would magically go into the woman's body and multiply and race towards the egg, and the winner of the sperm race determined what the gender of the egg was.
