i used to believe that a woman becomes pregnant when a man sees/touches her naked body. in indian movies the sex act is never shown, the woman's clothes are tossed one after another, and a few scenes later she announces that she is pregnant!!

As a little girl (6 years old), I read that the was a 10 year old who became a mother. I wondered if I asked God very nicely if He would give me a baby -- even while I was still a little girl -- just He did for the Virgin Mary. I thought God would make the immaculate conception for anybody.

When I was six I knew that sperm from a man went into a woman and met an egg to make a baby. I asked my mom if it just flew out and landed in the woman.

Before my mom gave me "the talk", she assessed my knowledge of sex. She asked, "So how do you think babies are made?" I responded, "By kissing". She said, "So daddy could get you pregnant by kissing you goodnight?" I replied rolling my eyes, "No! Kissing with the tongue!"

When my Mom was expecting my lil brother I was around three, I remember her having me touch her belly to feel the baby moving... I had my hand there for a few minutes and when I felt the baby actually move I ran away crying my eyes out because I was convinced my Mom ATE the baby!
I remembering being afraid of her for awhile, cause I didn't want her to eat me too!

When I was younger I used to believe that women got pregnant from eating too much. Whenever we would see a pregnant woman out in public I would say I guess she ate to much, huh mom?!

I was an only child who always wanted a brother or sister. When I was around 8 years old, an older friend told me that the way to tell if my mother was going to have a baby was to look under her bed, and it there was dust under there, that meant that my mother was pregnant. I watched the dust accumulate under my parent's bed for a couple of years and kept watching to see if my mother's tummy was growing before I found out that it wasn't true!

My mom told me that when a man and a woman are in love they just "decide" to have a baby and poof, the woman is pregnant. (Nothing involving body parts.) I was amazed for a long time at the power of thought.

My mom was learning to drive around the time that she was pregnant with my youngest brother (I was about 8 years old when he was born). I remember thinking that "pregnant" had something to do with getting a driver's license.

When I was about 5 years old I was on the school bus with one of my best guy friends. He asked me if we could live together when we were grown-ups. I told him no because my cousins had recently moved in with men and gotten pregnant and I didnt want to.

That night I asked my mom if there was anything I could do to not get pregnant and she told me (red faced) that if you didnt want a baby you didnt have one. I was amazed at this "mind over matter" power all our bodied had and my mom didn't give me any more advice on contraception for quite a while!

I used to believe that, for a woman to get pregnant, she and the impregnating man had to go into the bathroom, she'd get a laser-shooting object, and shoot it at his scrotum. The scrotum would open up, a testicle would fall out onto the ground, she'd pick up the testicle, and swallow it whole, and it'd grow into a baby in her stomach. As a boy, that notion scared the hell out of me.

I used to think that to get pregnant, the guy just had to stick his penis in, and -bam- that was that.

I used to think a woman got pregnant after a man put his penis between a woman's breasts.

I have three younger sisters, so by the time I was six, I knew that babies came from my mom's belly. What I didn't know was how they got there. Of course, I asked my trusty old dad. He told me that the doctor calls women and then they're pregnant. For a long time after, I was very afraid that the doctor would call me!

Once when I was 12 years old, I had pains in my lower stomach for about a week, and was convinced for some odd reason that I was pregnant. I wondered how it had happened, seeing as how I'd never had sex. I even started refering to the pain as 'my baby'. I even went to the extreme of looking online to find out the symptons of pregnancy.

It turns out the pain was just from doing sit-ups in gym class. Luckily I never told my parents I thought I was pregnant.

When two people slept together the sperm crawled across the sheets from the man to the woman like a line of marching ants.

Until I was about 11, I thought that you'd get pregnant every time you had sex, + so people would only do it 2 or 3 times in their lives, when they really wanted a child.
Then one night my Mother let me stay up late to watch a film, + there was a sex scene in it. I couldn't understand why anyone would just jump into doing a thing like that without even discussing whether they wanted a baby.

As a child, and I don't know where this came from, I believed that a man and woman had to have sex for 9 hours in order to make a baby, and a woman wasn't really pregnant unless she had the telltale belly.

As a child, I believed that you get pregnant by chance. Just like you get a pimple, you get pregnant. So I used to ask my Mom why she doesn't get pregnant.
