I used to think that women got pregnant from eating chicken patties. I saw a pregnant woman eating a chicken patty on a TV show so naturally, I believed that was the reason.

i used to believe that the way u get pregnent is to eat twice or more than your usual eating portion. So i wanted a baby sister and would feed my mom more food each time she ate.
There was this girl who thought her mum became pregnant by drinking water and that we shouldn't drink any ourselves.
(she was only 5 then!! bless her!)

When I was about 3-4,I tought that if you wished for a baby hard enough it would simply appear(My parents fault,this big trauma is)And you would get pregnant.Playing with dolls and that kind of stuff in that period,I tought I wanted a baby.I was really terrified that I would get pregnant.I also had a friend who was adopted and I concluded it was because maybe her parents didn't wish hard enough.

I used to believe that a woman could only get pregnant after she was married..that God decided to just send the couple a baby, I used to pray that when I got married, God would spare me for a few years. When I realized you could control it, I was like, WOW.

When I was a child I believed that in order to have children (get pregnant) the man had to spit in the womans mouth to get her pregnant. Doing that would start the growth of the baby.

I asked my Mom how She and Dad decided to have me as a baby. She said, "Oh, we just knew", and changed the subject (i,e; I was unexpected). So, for years after that, I just thought grownups would look at each other, raise one eyebrow, and bam, the woman was pregnant. Then I deduced from that, that if I followed a girl around at school long enough, she would become pregnant.

About food: I believed that pumpkin seeds would make my mom pregnant! I remember her eating pumpkin seeds one year around Halloween, and it seemed that she had a HUGE tummy afterwards. Actually, she was pregnant for my brother, who was due in January, and she started to show in November.
Mary Beth
When I was in Elementary school, a friend's mom discussed her birth control pills in our company. My friend and I decided that if you didn't take the pills or forgot one that you would automatically become pregnant.
Anon.
When I was little, I thought that all girls when they became a certain age (21 or so) got pregnant. They were very unlucky if they were not married by then. I remember watching a show on TV and feeling sorry for the main character because she had not managed to find a husband before she became pregnant.
Pat
When I was little, I believed that men and women made babies by rubbing their tummies together. I thought that a man and woman had to be naked and kissing in bed and once they started rubbing their tummies, the lady would get pregnant!
When I was about 5, I remember asking my dads how I was concieved. They told me that one of their spermies (which one will never be known) was planted into my surogate's tummy by a doctor. So I then proceded to tell all my friends that a babies came from special doctors who choose your mommy for you, then plant your daddie's spermies in her tummy.

I believed until well into my teenage years that women got pregnant because men were urinating inside of them. The only thing that cleared up this "misconception" (pardon the expression) was when I looked at my brother's Playboy and read "The Advisor."

My cousin and were swimming at the local pool when she ran away and started crying. I followed her into the bathroom, when to my horror, she exclaimed,"I am pregnant!". We were 8. When I asked how, she said a boy had touched her toes without shoes on!

about sex,
I used to think that when a male peed in the toilet and didn't flush, and then I went to the bathroom (and it mixed) I would get pregnant. It took my friend's parents years to find out why I was flushing the toilet twice every time I had to go.

In the early 70's, when I was about 4 or 5, I saw a TV documentary about human reproduction. While the narrator explained what I later learned to be intercourse, the images on the screen were of a man and woman, in leotards, doing some sort of elaborate ballet-style dance. For years afterward, I believed my parents had performed such a dance to conceive me.
Dave
I used to believe that once a girl "did it" just once, she would get pregnant more than once..as if that little sperm was embedded in her system for life.
Donna..Minnesota
I was told by a friend who's mother told her that if you wash a man and woman's underwear together, then the woman could get pregnant after she wore them again.
Donna
When I was 8, I was playing tug-of-war with my classmates and a boy fell on top of me and I was positive that I'd get pregnant. I was so upset because I hated the boy. I told my older sister and she just laughed at me and told me that I was fine. I guess I just didn't understand that there was more involved than that.
