getting pregnant

when I was like 10 my friend told me that she had this special lotion that if you used it you would get pregnant. Well I wanted a baby (not knowing what that involved) amd went home and used her lotion. Needless to say, I didn't get pregnant.

Until I was 14 years old I thought you got pregnant when a boy pee'd in you....no one ever explained that something ELSE came out of the "pee pee"

I was at the local pool one day and was eating a huge bag of grapes. My mum told me that if I ate too many grapes I'd end up like the woman sitting near us. The woman was pregnant, but mum meant that I would get a bloated belly. Naturally I concluded that eating grapes made you pregnant!

Up until i was about 9 i thought that you could give birth to a baby by yourself, without the help of a man, but maybe a man would help speed up the pregnancy or make the baby healthier.I think i made that mistake because i didn't understand how single mothers came about. So whenever I saw a single mother with a child i imagined her as being a bit irresponsible and silly for not getting a man to help her make the the baby first.

this might be a common belief, i dont know. But when i was little i was very innocent, and i believed that to have children, all you had to do was become married. then, you would share a bed and if you wanted to, the woman would magically become pregnant. i dont know. its weird.

Some one told me in 2nd grade that to have a baby, a boy and a girl have to poop and pee on eachother. Since I hadn't heard any other way, I believed it.

I used to think that you had to be a certain age....18 to have a baby. Also I thought babies were created when a boy and a girl kissed and their saliva mixed somehow making the baby come out of your stomach like in Alien. I was stupid ].]

Well my sister thought it butt when she was younger she got told that you can only have babies if you wish for them. her mate soon came over & they were playing bratz sharing a room i was in the same room chilaxingg and i over heard there conversation. the other girl suggested that they made a babie by having sex my sister then said ' well you have to wish otherwise they'll never be a baby, make sure she wishes afterwards ' i couldnt help laughing.

I used to believe that you had to be on your period to get pregnant........

Tricia

I used to think that when you wanted a baby you HAD to be married and you had to get on your knees and pray and say, 'God up in the heavens I want a baby *whatever*' and the baby would come down from the sky. I didn't know hospitals existed back then.

Baby Clueless

well, when i was little me and my neighbor (who was a boy) ran around naked and touched eachothers privates. i was so scared that when i got my period i woud get pregnant cuz i thought we had sex... i havnt got it yet tho... lol

very confused child

I thought you could get pregnant by french kissing becuase your salivas mixed and formed the baby in your stomach.

When I was little,
I thought women got pregnant through surgery.

Camille

When I was little, I believed that babies came out of nowhere. I assummed that adults got pregnant at random, like Virgin Mary.

I thought that in order to become pregnant, a woman HAD to be married. It just wouldn't work otherwise, There was once supper table gossip in our house about a teenager being pregnant and I was adamant. "But she can't be pregnant! She's not married!"
This was 1967.

When I was about 5 I believed that you could become pregnant from being kissed on the neck.

Jamie

a friend of mine thought that you could get pregnant by swallowing sperm. Ha!
