getting pregnant

that a baby was a tiny plant that was inside every girl from when they were babies and as each girl grew it just got bigger and bigger until itt became a full size baby and popped (without any pain) out when you were exactly 21. I told my brother when I was six and he was ten and he said "you stupid cow".

When I was very young my mum was reading an article about a young girl who had a baby. She said something like 'Oh poor girl, it's not her fault' and I thought pregnancy was some kind of illness or you got pregnant by dialing the wrong phone number and I was scared I would randomly become pregnant.

When I was about five, I was under the impression that a woman HAD (and I mean legally) to be married in order to get pregnant. Well, the teachers aid in class was pregnant and one of the girls asked her if she had a husband, and I jumped in right away with, Of course she does, it's against the law to have a baby without a husband!" The look on my face when she snapped that she didn't have a husband and that you didn't have to have one must have been priceless!

When I was about 12 years old, I was reading a magazine that talked about birth control. They mentioned the pill and said you had to take it each time or you would get pregnant. Obviously, it meant each time during sex, but I thought it meant you had to take it every day for the rest of your life or you would get pregnant at any time.

i used to think that God used to have huge tree in heaven which has lots of holes in it and in each one of them there would be a baby and that parents chose us through dreams,and then god put them in the mothers stomach.And all the babies invariably looked like me in my baby pictures!!

When I was about five or six -- old enough to realize that pregnancy and genitals were somehow connected, but too young to have acquired any solid knowledge of the specifics -- I "figured out" that women became pregnant when a man and a woman peed in the same toilet without flushing in between. That's why public bathrooms are "men only" and "women only", but homes with one potty are where mommies and daddies live.

When i was small i asked my mom how you get pregnant and she said if you just thought of having a baby you can have a baby. Then after that, everyday I was scared for a long time that if I thought of a baby I might get pregnant and the fact that I was thinking of that meant that I was thinking of babies and god or w.e might get the wrong idea and think that i wanted a baby so id become pregnant. I thought about this everyday for a long time
I was terrified

For years I thought that in order to get pregnent, a woman had to be "blessed" by God. I had a friend whose parents were never married, and I thought, "wouldn't it be terrible if God decided you should be pregnant if you didn't have a husband?". I thought that my dad was only part of the family legally; because he and my mom were married; I didn't think we were related biologically at all.

God does bless the woman - with a man!

up until 7, i used to believe that u ould get pregnnat just buy hugging a boy. cuz of that, i never hugged a boy.

When i was young every girl knew she could get pregnant from sitting on the toilet seat.

A rumour went around that a girl we knew had been having sex. My friend said that as soon as she got her period, she'd fall pregnant. neither of us knew sperm could only survive for so long....well, i can't actually recall if we even knew about sperm...sex made babies and that was it.

I used to think that you had to be married to get pregnant, and thought some strange "pregnant ray" came down from the wedding ring and put a baby in the mother's stomach.

My freind in preschool's parents told her that human babies come from eggs too, but they are inside a mommy's stomach. She also was told that In order for the eggs to come into being, you needed to eat eggs (chicken, although she didnt know thats where they were from at the time) and beans for 9 months straight. SHe told me this and I believed it until my friend told me the truth when I was 9.

Up until I was about fourteen (my parents were crazy, strict, Baptists, so they didn't tell me anything about sex; I found out from my older sis), I thought sex was two people either a: sleeping in a bed together (naked?) or b: two people kissing in a bed together (naked?), and then falling asleep afterwards.
I thought this would make a baby, so as a child, when I'd hear couples in church talking about "trying to have a baby" I didn't understand what they were doing to try to make this happen. I asked Mom once: "What do they mean they're trying? Doesn't it just happen (while they're asleep)?" I was very confused about it all, and Mom refused to give me a straight answer on it. Thankfully, my sister straightened me out when I was 14.

I used to think that babies grew from a seed that every woman had inside them, and that the seed would start growing when she fell in love.

Sophia

Not sure if this is all that appropriate, but I used to think babies were born out of a women's... butt... and not their... you know...

I also used to think that you made babies by kissing.

Anon

I used to think that a woman could only get pregnant after marriage.

Lauren

I was smart enough to know that you couldn't get pregnant by kissing a person of the opposite sex. However, i believed that by sleeping on the same bed could. My explanation was that sperm crawled on the bed to the other person (when i first knew about sperm) when you 'needed' it to.

Pregnant Women... How did the babies get inside their bellies? I never needed explanations from my parents 'cause I used to think that the babies were the result of too much food eaten by women at once. I mean... if a woman eats too much at once, her stomach wouldn't digest all that stuff and then... Baby! Just like The Spontaneous Generation Theory says.
