getting pregnant

When I found out about sex and pregnancy, I could never get myself to believe that my parents could have done such a sickening thing. I had seen my mom visit the hospital a lot of times before my sister was born so I decided that my mom had got injected with my dad's sperm to get pregnant! See, there was a better way of doing things rather than having disgusting sex!!

I used to believe that it wasn't sex that caused babies, but marriage - two people had to get married before they had children. I thought that while couples were just going out and not married, they couldn't have kids, but once you were married, you would just magically get pregnant. Probably a testament to how sheltered an upbringing I had.

When I was little my Mum told me that a man and woman had to press there belly buttons together in order to make a baby. I told all my friends at school, and because no one told them anything different thats what we all believed.

Until I was eight I thought the man's toes held "the baby" seed and the woman had to suck on the toes to get the "baby seed" out in her. I thought, to get twins the woman would have to such on two toes at the same time and the size of the toe determained how big the baby would be. Everything seemed very logical to me because mo grandmother had ten kids. When one of my aunts had twin I asked her in the hospital "Aunt Cindy, Is sucking on two toes very hard and gross to do?" after I explained what I meant everyone had a good laugh and I had a loooooong chat with my mother afterwards.

When I was in second grade, I heard people talking on the school bus about sex and getting pregnant. I came home and asked my mom (a very religious woman) about it. She explained that sex was something you do after you're married and that's how women get pregnant; the man and the woman both get naked and kiss and the sperm from the man's "extra part" fertilized the egg that came from the woman's tummy.

I had no idea what the "extra part" was (my parents were divorced and I had a sister, so I had never seen a penis), but I deduced from this that kissing when naked caused a sperm and egg to join in midair between the couple, and then go back into the woman's tummy and make a baby. I thought that you must be completely naked for this to work, so just tying a rope around your waist or something would prevent pregnancy.

When i was in preschool and didn't know about the birds and the bees yet, i thought a woman had a baby simply by being in love. I got my first crush on a little boy, and daydreamed about us discovering our love for each other when i'd become pregnant.

My eight-year-old son and six-year-old daughter think that a woman gets pregnant by eating a very, very tiny baby. It then grows in her stomach.

They don't seem bothered by this thought! I'm not going to correct them, until they ask!

My daughter who is 3 and a half has had 4 teachers at her preschool who have had babies in the last 6 months. So she has seen the teachers get bigger when they are going to have a baby. In her mind that means that the teachers eat more food to get a baby in their tummy. Then they go to the doctor's office to have the baby taken out when they are too fat!

Im 13, and until a week ago, i thought that pregnancy tests worked by the girl sticking it up her vagina. then i got the nerve to ask someone and i learned how they really work

When I was 6 my friend (a girl) said that for a girl to become pregnant the guy would cut off the tip of his penis and put it in the girls vagina. sicne i was uncircumcised and i didnt know that some people didnt have the foreskin i assumned that by "tip" she was refering to my foreskin.

When I was little i used to believe that to get pregnat the boy had to put his finger in your belly button. so everytime a boy came around me I would cover my belly and say,"Dont get your nasty fingers around my belly button!"..... I always wondered why they looked at me so funny.

I used to believe that marriage was the key to having babies. The angels in heaven decided how many children a couple would have. Some had nine some had one. But getting married was the key.

When I was younger I used to believe that the way to get pregnant was to have a scan

When I was kid I thought in order to get pregnant the mother take a pill with either a girl or a boy picture stamped on it.
