getting pregnant

Before I knew how sex worked (I was in 4th grade, and in my area sex ed starts in 5th grade), I thought that you could only have babies when you're married. My friend (who's parents told him about sex) also said that, and I thought it was weird! How can whatever makes babies know if you are married? Then I thought of something having to do with the wedding ring putting pressure on your finger. My friend used terms like "egg" and "sperm" and I had no idea what they meant!

It wasn't until I heard them used to define sex when I understood!

I explained to my 3 year old daughter that I am pregnant and there is a baby in my tummy.
She came up with the idea that it crawled in there through my mouth while I was sleeping and will crawl back out in a few months.
She also thinks that she is pregnant, and with twins, just to one-up me.

When i was young i thought you got pregnant by pee.

stupid kid

When I was about 7 I read a book about your body and it said the seed comes out of the dads body..blah blah so I thought if 2 people the love each toch tummies for a while the mom would get pregnant

I used to believe that there was a hard way and an easy way to have a baby the easy way was to just wait to have a baby and the hard way was to have sex.I also used to believe that you could choose if you wanted to have a girl or a boy.

I used to think that boys and girls both had penises and that you had sex by rubbing them together and would make babies by doing anal.

Before knowing about sex, I thought that God impregnated the mother after marriage and that you had to be married to have a kid. Later after finding out about sex I thought that the parents had sex once when they got married and got pregnant at random during the marriage. Since then I have become an Atheist too.

i used to believe that to get a girl pregnant that you would squeeze your "woo woo" and aim at the girl and that would make her pregnant. until one day in 12th grade i took a girl on a date and said i had to go the bathroom and when i came out i started running at her squeezing my "woo woo". she called the cops.

When I was 5 my parents told me that if I took a bath after a boy has finish taking a bath I would get pregnant because they do naughty things in the tub while bathing.

When I was little I overheard my mom talking about one of her friends who was pregnant. She was saying how the friend was pretty nervous about everything because "she had suffered from miscarriage before." I thought she was saying "Miss Carriage" and couldn't understand why people would make fun of her for being pregnant!

One day I asked my auntie "how do women get pregnant?" then she told me "Your daddy gave your mummy a seed". Afterwards our teacher in science gave us each a seed to plant as our project. I was so worried as hell 'cause I thought that the teacher had lots of seeds in her, so I thought that daddy got the seed from teachers and plant it into mummy's butt. I believed in this for 2-4 years, util my mum explained to me properly.

gosh... all those years. and oh it happened on my kindergarden years

I used to believe that if a boy and a girl of any age liked eachother or flirted at all i thought the girl would get pregnant. So much so that I remember being at some sort of party with other childern and screaming that my sister (who was about 2 years old) was going to get pregnant. I wondered why all the adults were laughing. I also remember my parents giving me the "where babies are made" talk shortly after. The word married was an embarrassing thing to say, but I guess this was ok! lol

I used to believe that the word "married" was something to blush about. To me the word was embarrassing somehow. Anytime someone said they were married I thought it had something to do with making babies. Little did I know that in a round about way it kinda does! lol

When I was a little girl like 8 years old a boy fell on me on the playground and I screamed GET OFF ME YOUR GOING TO GET ME PREGNET!! i went home to my mom and sister I told mom that she should take me to the hospital cause im and i had a kool-aid stain on my pants and mom though i had my period!! it scared her so bad!

Mandy

i used to believe that when you had your period you were supposed to use a tampon and suck all the blood out of the tampon or padto get pregnant.

My boyfriends mother belived that if you swim behind a boy you can get pregnant. Her mother told her that to keep her away from boys!

My sister and I used to think that eating watermelon seeds would make you pregnant.

i used to think that you could become pregnant if you swallowed during oral sex- that somehow the sperm would live inside you, get peed out, and make it's way into your vagina when you peed. i know, it's ridiculous!

My little sister and I grew up with a family of boys the same ages as we were. At one point, the oldest boy (about 7) thought he figured out how to make babies, and him and I always assumed we would get married. So we decided to "make babies." He lied down on top of me with us both fully clothed for about 5 minutes. I tried to convince my mom that night that I was pregnant. She indulged me and told me to starting thinking of kids' names.
