When I was little, I used to think that when somebody is pregnant, the baby would grow up in the stomach and feed on whatever the mom ate, and that the baby's bellybutton was connected to the mother's windpipe!! I also remember feeling very grown-up when my junior friends asked me where the baby came out from and I told them "from the bellybutton"

I asked my mom why babies look like their dads if they came out of the mom, and she said when people get married they mix DNA. I thought they needed surgery before the wedding.

When I was about 4 my mam told me that babies were made of 'eggs and sperm', so I thought if girls ate eggs they would get pregnant!

I thought that a woman got pregnant kind of like catching a cold, by being around her husband for a long time.

My best friends mom thought that inorder to get pregnant, you had to married. She knew about sex and that's how babies were made, but she thought it didn't work until you were married. Imagine her surpise when she went to the dr and he told her she was pregnant. All she could say was "but, i'm not married"

As a child I was told that if a girl wanted to get pregnant all she had to do was hold a boys hand! Thank god for sex ed, I never would hold a guys hand!!!

Somehow I knew that in order to get pregnant something from the man had to get inside the woman - and I knew that they had to sleep in the same bed for it to happen.

So for the longest time I thought while the man and the woman were sleeping, whatever it was would crawl out of the man and walk across the sheets and into the woman and make her pregnant.

The thing I worried about was how did it know which way to go in the dark on the sheets and what if it crawled into the wrong person or simply got lost? Did it die? Did it hang around and wait for the next person to get in bed?

As a young child (about 4 or younger) I believed that women got pregnant from overeating. I knew that eating too much made you fat, and I knew that pregnant women were fat, and I assumed that one led to the other. Which was why women were always trying to watch their weight- they were trying to keep the baby away!

When I was a small boy, I had a friend over, and we were playing an we stumbled upon my mothers wedding ring, I decided to put it on, after I did, my friend exclaimed, "HaHa! Now your pregnant!" fortunately, my parents had told me about sex when I was five, so I knew otherwise, but I still thought that you you just rubbed your "things" together, without any form of penetration, I believed this for a couple of years.

While I always knew that babies came from mothers' wombs, and that boys had penises and girls had vaginas, I did not always know about sexual intercourse. I thought that babies were formed inside mommies' wombs when the priest at the wedding chanted magic words. And that sometimes the magic would escape and hit random women and that's how single mothers happened. And that people could not control the spacing of the babies- they stayed frozen there indefinitely until God decided it was time for one to be born. And that penises were strictly to distinguish boys from girls when they were born. And later I thought that sex was something very clinical people did in the bathroom standing up strictly to make babies.

I know better now.

I used to believe that girls got pregnant by using the same wash cloth as a man. If the man had washed his "private parts" with the wash cloth & a lady washed HERS w/ the same wash cloth - BAM! You'd be pregnant. I always made sure to never touch my brother or dads wash cloth in the shower!

I used to believe when the bride and groom kissed at the wedding, something passed from his mouth to hers to get her pregnant. Babies took a year to be born, and ALL babies were born one year after marriage.

when i was younger i asked my older sister where babies came from and she told me the man had to give the women a special seed. So i thought you could buy "baby seeds" (that the man would hand to the women and she would eat it) in a garden centre next to the plant seeds! Untill I was about 7 i always used to look for them when we went shopping!

My friends and I used to believe that a girl could get pregnant by hugging a boy while they were lying in bed...ha ha...I think this was because one of my older cousins told us that the song "2 Become 1" by the Spice Girls was a "baby making song"...and we didn't know that they were talking about sex in the song...we just thought that they were talking about when two people hug each other really tight or something b/c there's a lot of hugging in the music video...lol

Maybe it was because I went to a Catholic elementary school, but I thought that God would randomly chose whether or not to make a women pregnant. I planned on praying to God to not make me pregnant the second I got married.

I used to believe that a child was born when 2 people got married and had their magical kiss that would make the women get pregnant. so out of curiosity i would ask my parents at totally random times how a baby was made. They would always say that it was a bad time to ask and they would tell me later

When my mom became pregnant with my little sister, she said that God gave us a baby. I believed this until I learned about sex, but she still thinks she can tell that thing about God to me!

I used to believe that when women reached a certain age then they can get pregnant from kissing a man. I thought that when you exchanged saliva while kissing then it would trigger something in the womens body that made hey get pregnant. I only thought that the body part down low was only used for peeing and where the child comes out of.
