getting pregnant

Somehow I'd figured out the parts involved in making a baby but sex had never been explained to me. I worked out that while the man and the woman were asleep in bed, the sperm would crawl out of the man's penis and into the woman's vagina and then she would just wake up pregnant.

Well, can't say it's the most imaginative one, but I used to think a woman would get pregnant just by being around a man enough. This is because my dad used to read novels to me and my brother and just skip over any inappropriate scenes.

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 think that a woman became pregnant when her vagina rubbed off splashes of pee left on the toilet seat by a man! how weird is that!

A very sheltered child

i used to think to make a man ejaculate the woman would have to squeeze his testicles. it never occured to me about unplanned pregnancies and that they just wouldnt do that part of it.

When I was very young, I used to think that women got pregnant by eating their wedding cake. It seemed logical to me at the time... a couple got married, and soon afterwards, had a baby. I surmised that they must put something in that cake that would make the wife pregnant, because that's the only thing all married couples had in common -- the wedding cake!

I used to believe (from watching T.V.) that if you literelly slept with someone, as in a man and a woman who weren't related, slept in the same bed, the woman would get pregnant.

I used to go to a christian school, so I thought that God would see the two people, and think, 'oh, they're in the same bed, she will have a baby in 9 months!'

i used to believe that a woman got pregnant by having sex with a man, (But that's not all), then they would kick each other in the penis and vagina and after they were done kicking the other person, the woman would kick herself in the vagina, and she would be pregnant!!

I used to think that a boy had to touch a girls arm to get the girl pregnant. My Best Friends Brother was lifting me on to a ride so i thought i had got pregnant.I was about 5 or 6 when it happene.I announced to everyone that i was pregnant and when i told my mum she just about peed herself laughing.I've learned the real way now though.Unfortunatley. ♥

I had two different beliefs on how to get pregnant, the first one was when I was really little, I thought you would get pregnant by eating a watermelon seed, that's why I never ate watermelons just in case. Then later I thought that when you get married you automatically get pregnant. Then I found out on the internet that I was way off. And that's why people always laughed when I said that.

When I was little (about 7) I believed that sex was giving someone CPR, or breathing into someone elses mouth. I thought everytime this happened the girl got pregnant. So one night I couldn't sleep and I crawled in bed with my dad, well he was breathing through his mouth and it got in my mouth. I thought now that I was going to have a baby. About a year later I got "the talk" from my mom and realized a few things.

when i was little i thought a girl got pregnant by getting married and wishing for a baby on a shooting star. i was very confused when my sister got pregnant before getting married and asked her, "do stars still listen to you before your married?" she just laughed at me.

When I was in kindergarden, my mom became pregnant with my brother. She explained to me how her stomach hurt and she felt really sick. Well, one day I go to school and my stomach hurt, and I told my friend about what my mom said and how I felt, and we both agreed that I was pregnant. We walked around at recess asking the boys if they wanted to be the dad and when we came back in had a "party." My teacher had to call my mom when I asked the teacher if I could have asprin...

When I was a kid I used to believe that a lady got pregnant when the man sucked on her breasts and that the kid suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

I learned in sex ed that trace amounts of sperm were present in a mans urine. My dad never flushed the toilet after peeing, and you know how when you pee really hard a little of it 'spalshes up'. I though that one of these days I would accidentally end up pregnant with my dads baby and have a freakish three eyed, one armed, mentally handicapped baby. So I always flushed before using the toilet, just in case. And I peed very slowly, so as not to splash.

Accidental Incest

When I was in junior high school, sex education was taught separately to the girls and boys. The teacher pulled down a chart of female reproduction organs and showed us how the egg traveled from the ovaries, through the fallopian tubes, and into the uterus where it was fertilized by sperm. She rolled up that chart before pulling down another of the male reproduction organs. She then traced the journey of the sperm from the testicles through the penis. And, then, up went that chart, out of sight. What she never explained was how the sperm and the egg actually got together. It seemed like the "fast girls" who always got asked to slow-dance always got pregnant. As a result, I did not dance slow with a boy for years, thinking that slow-dancing was the key to pregnancy! I was a virgin until my second year of college!!

When I was younger, I believed that a woman (by some means) got pregnant by kissing her true love.

My belief was complicated when I saw my cousins kissing at family gatherings, and I wondered how come they didn't have any kids with all the kissing they did.
