getting pregnant

I thought if you had sex (I wasn't too sure what that was, but I knew babies came from having sex) then the girl would automatically be pregnant but the baby wouldn't start to grow until she was 15 years old. I was terrified to hold hands or kiss a boy because I thought that might be sex and then I'd have a baby when I was 15 and everyone would know I'd had sex.

I thought that women got pregnant because their husbands chained them to the sink. I don't remember any time limit!

When my next door neighbor and I were about 6 & 7, I asked her to ask her mom how babies were made & was very interested because my own mom said I was 'too young to know'. Her mom told her that the daddy feeds the mommy a seed. So after much thought on this, I determined that the mom was fed her seed from a pouch inside the dads cheek when they were kissing open-mouthed!

MY MOTHER TOLD ME THAT EATING WATERMELON SEED WAS WHAT MAKES YOU PREGNANT, IF YOU EAT A WHITE SEED YOU WILL HAVE A WHITE BABY AND IF YOU EAT A BLACK SEED YOU WILL HAVE A BLACK BABY.

I used to believe that you did'nt have to have sex to have a baby. I thought it just appeared in your parents stomache(WIERD)

When I was very young (about 4), I was told that I looked like my dad, but I had my mom's eyes and hair. I knew that I came out of Mommy's tummy, so I wondered how it could possibly be that I would look like my dad. The reason had to be, of course, that when a couple wanted to have a baby, they sat facing each other and STARED at each other really, really hard and decided then and there who's eyes the baby would have, whose hair, etc. I was living proof that this technique works, after all!

When I was a kid, my aunt was very pregnant. My uncle said she got that way by swallowing watermelon seeds. To this day, I am not fond of watermelon.

When I was a very young boy, my mom told me that women got pregnant from doing dishes. I really believed that for a while. (You can imagine how I felt when they told me I was old enough to start doing dishes).

my husband up untill the age of forty belived the only way a woman could get pregnant was is she had an orgasm duing the sex. i set him straight quickly by telling him "dear, if that was the only way. we would never have children"

I used to believe that women could only have babies once they were married because there was some biological connection between wearing a wedding ring and being able to get pregnant. Obviously I'd never heard of unwed mothers at that tender age...

Pregnant and married

When I was about 9 I thought I was pregnant because my stomach was a bit bigger and rounded. I was so scared and was thinking about how to tell my mom. After a bit of logical thinking I realized that I had to get my period before I could get pregnant. After even more logical thinking I realized I had to have sex too. Needless to say I was VERY relieved!

My mom told me that when a man and a woman "get real close", they could have babies. For a couple weeks I was terrified to stand next to any boys.

I used to believe that when a girl sleeps besides a boy, she will get pregnant. When I was a child, I used to go out of my bed and snuggle beside my dad. Later on I was afraid to do so thinking I maght get pregnant as well.

Because TV programems used to always talk about "Keeping" the baby I was convinced until the age of 12 that you got pregnant randomly and then you had sex to keep it- if you ignored it, the baby would go away from inside you.
