getting pregnant

My brother have the annoying habit of peeing on the toilet seat. When I was much younger, I used to believe I could get pregnant from sitting on it by mistake.

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!

I used to believe that men could get pregnant, so i thought that my dad gave birth to me since he named me, and I thought my mom gae birth to my two sisters since she named them

That when a married woman was twenty and she got pregnant. She just got pregnant.

When I asked how babies were made my mum told me that the man and lady have a special cuddle which creates a baby in the lady's tummy. I was terrified of hugging a man or boy for years afterwards just in case!

When I was younger, I thought teenagers could get pregnant without having sex.

When I was little I asked how women got pregnant and my mother gave me the medical book which said that the man puts his penis in the woman's vagina. However, erections were not explained. As every penis I had ever seen pointed down, I decided that you probably had to go to the doctor, and the doctor would insert the penis in the woman's vagina. I totally did not associate this with having sex, which was what people did when they were in love, until I saw an erect penis.

When I was pretty young, maybe 5 years old, I was watching the news with my parents and there was a bit about teenage pregnancy being on the rise. Well I had no clue that there was a voluntary process involved in becoming pregnant; I thought you got pregnant randomly, like catching a cold. So for a few years after, I was worried that I would "catch" it and be one of those teenage mothers that the news was talking about.

I used to believe that God would just randomly drop a seed into your mouth from the sky (after you got married or course) and you would swallow it and 9 months later, you had a baby. I believed this until my mom told me the truth when I was 10

When I was a child, I had the "where do babies come from" talk explained as "a man gives a woman his seed...." Being rather literal minded, I asked my elder brother (the font of all knowledge, in my pre-school mind) what kind of seeds mom meant. He replied "poppy seeds." For many years afterwards I refused to eat poppy cookies or cake because I was afraid I'd get pregnant. I must have been in my late teens before the connection really dissolved.

I used to believe that... you get pregnant by getting into contact with a guy's saliva. Especially by sharing cutlery!

When I was about 7 or 8 I liked this boy. Once we were at church and I chased him and kissed his shoulder. Then on, I thought I was pregnant. I remember thinking for over a year that I was going to die because I was only a little kid and now I hated the boy.

I thought that every time you had sex you got pregnant so I was really grossed out that my parents had had sex 2 times!

when my dad was little he told my grandparents that he knew how girls got pregnant...he told them it happens when a guy pees in a girls mouth! i will always feel a bit disturbed wondering where he got that idea from as a child

I used to believe that daddies bought seeds from the drugstore and put them in the moms' mashed potatoes to make babies. (Shame on my mom for that one!)

Until I was 7 OR 8 I BELIEVED that you couldn't get a baby if you weren't married, until my musik teacher got her baby, without being married.
