getting pregnant

When I was younger I thought that if you wanted a baby you had to kiss and hug someone, then eat lots of chocolate to make you really fat, then all of a sudden you would have a baby, and that you could eat lots of chocolate on purpose tto have a baby or just be fat and accidentally have one.

As a child I believed that to make babies a man and a woman made a hot dog together. I was told that men had “wieners” and assumed that women would go to the grocery store to buy buns.

In fifth grade, I walked by this guy on a bus, and we had to squeeze past eachother face-to-face and so our bodies touched. After that, it look like my stomach was getting bigger, so I thought I was pregnant.

i used to believe that when you grow up you can have sex as much as you want and you will only get pregnant if you wanted to

i used to believe that one could get pregnant by kissing. i'm sure most of the kids in my neighbourhood thought so too. i only found out the truth when i was about twelve.

when i was little i thought a woman got pregnant by sleeping with a 'baby' on top of her stomach. i have no clue how long i believed this!

I used to believe that if you wanted a baby that you went to the doctor and he gave you a pill and that somehow the pill would grow inside your belly to be a baby.

When I was 7 or younger I wondered how God knew that people were married so He could give them a baby.

Before I knew how babies were made, I used to think that sitting down in the same spot where a boy just sat would get me pregnant! I remember I was so scared because once I sat down right after my uncle got up and I thought I was gonna be pregnant! Dumb, I know! It was getting to me so shortly after I did my own research and learned otherwise.

I used to believe that when you got married, God automatically gave you a baby. I once had a friend who was a little older than I was and we got into this discussion while playing with our Barbies... I told her that Barbie couldn't have a baby because she wasn't married to Ken, then she told me that I was wrong and that all they had to do was have sex! I couldn't believe it! Trying to prove my friend wrong, I asked my mom to tell my friend what she had told me all my life about babies. My mom was very embarrassed.

when i was 5 or about that, i used to belive that you could be pregnant through navel and when i had dirty navel i thought i was going to be pregnant, so i cleaned my navel carefully

in Look Who's Talking Two, i wondered what the scene at the beginning of the parents doing it was. my parents told me that the sperm were fish swimming in the sea. it made perfect sense when i was five. and last week, 11 years later, i saw it on cable and started watching it and got really freaked out when i realized that those weren't fish... liars

My mother told me that the way you a girl got pregnant was to be REALLY CLOSE to a boy. I knew that it was considered bad to be pregnant if you were not married. So I used to try to walk as far away from my brother as possible when we were going anywhere together.

i thought sperm came out of a mans penis when they were sleeping and the sperm just walked into a womens vagina.

I remember this only vaguely, but my mum recently filled in the gaps in the story. When I was about 6 I asked how babies got into a mummy's tummy. She decided it was time for me to know, so she asked me " you've seen both Mummy and Daddy with no clothes on when we are in the shower...what's different about each of us?" I thought for a while and answered " Mummy wears a shower hat and Daddy doesn't." My mum decided perhaps I wasn't ready to be told after all!

Well, I'm pretty practical so when I was younger, around 6 or 7 I guess, I knew that boys had a part that stuck out and girls had a hole and that there was something called sex that had to do with both parts. I knew that pee came out of the part of boys that sticks out so I assumed that if a boy peed in a girl that would make a baby. I started to get a little worried after that, every time I peed I thought I was probably supposed to be doing something else instead of just throwing it away in the toilet. I finally told my mom at some point and she gave me a more accurate explanation.
