getting pregnant

When I was a child, I used to believe that women had seeds in their stomachs.
When a seed sprout, the belly grew and that meant the woman was pregnant and expecting a child.

I used to believe if you had sex only once then you could have a baby any random time

i used to believe that women get pregnant when they sleep right next to a man, literally, as opposed to the term, "I slept with him."

silly me

When I was little, and still to this day, my mom tells me the same story.

"Babies are made when the daddy gives the mommy a seed". That's about all she told me, so of course I was very confused and sort of figured out my own conclusion. I thought the "daddy" had a "seed" (like the flower kind), and he gave it to the "mommy", and then she would take that seed and somehow stick it up her butt, and out came the baby! LOL!!

I was told as a child that I would get pregnant, if, I got in the tub without washing it...after a man or boy got a bath....of course I realized (as I got older) that my mother was just using that as a way of getting me to scrub that darn tub...lol

clean freak...

When I asked my mother how babies were made, she told me that the man plants a seed inside the woman, and a baby grows from there. Now, me being a farmer's son, had this weird image in my head of a tractor towing a planter, and trying to plant seeds inside women. A few years later I found out at school how the whole process actually worked!!

I used to believe that if 2 persons got married and wanted a baby they had to talk to Santa Clause, and give him a beautiful cake then he would make the momy pregnant and in about 9 months she would have to go to the doctor. The doctor then got the baby out of the woman's stoamch with a spoon.

When I was in the fourth grade my cousin told me how you get pregnant: You have to have sex for a solid hour or more. She said if you stop before an hour you wouldn't get pregnant. I told her i would never go over an hour because I didn't want kids. I thought it was a valuble peice of information and told my friends. They also believed me. I didn't know about birth control.

I used to think that you had to have sex to have a boy but you would just get pregnant with a girl when you reached a certain age.

I was a stupid kid

I used to believe that in order to get pregnant you had to eat a lot of food, get really fat, and then...out pops a baby!

When I was about 5 I told my mother I knew how babies were made. Curious of what I had to say she asked me how. I told her that a man and woman take off their clothes and kiss each others "privates" Needless to say we had the sex talk. Where in the world did I get that from???

I used to think test tube babies were literally grown in test tubes... and that they would start out in a small one but by 9 months they would be in a really big test tube

When I was young and asked where babies came from I was told you had to put a 20 pence piece under your pillow..... having tried this with no baby as a result my parents told me it only worked for grown ups!
