getting pregnant

I used to believe that you had to pray to tell God what kind of baby you wanted, a girl or boy, and that you had to have a baby no matter what. Then when the babby was born, it magically appeared in front of you, unless you had a c-section- I knew what that was.

I used to think that, when a female ovulated, if the egg stuck to the inside of the uterus, she got pregnant, and if it didn't, she had a period. Obviously, they missed a key point when they taught us about women's bodies in school!

Nancy

I used to believe that one needed to marry to produce babbies

When I was small I knew that babies grew inside a woman but I didn't know how they got there. I was told that when a couple wanted a baby they would pray to God for one. I knew that that couldn't be the only thing that would be TOO easy so some how I got the idea in my head that a woman would have to take pill to get pregnant which is hilarious because it is the exact opposite.

I used to believe that people got pregnant from kissing. The TV shows I watched would always pan away once the characters started kissing and I guess I always assumed that that was because the scene was over.

I used to believe moms got pregnant via aliens, or angels in UFOs (I also used to have a theory that angels were aliens and Heaven was a planet.) and at night they'd abduct moms and God put the baby's souls into their tummies. I was a weird kid.

I used think to think that you got pregnant when you turned 16 (thank
God that isn't true) I also thought that when the shuttles landed in
the water as they used to, that the astronauts swam to shore (how
embarassing when you actually voice that in front of the entire 3rd
grade class)

I understood the whole concept of the birds and the bees, but I was under the impression that the couple had to go to the Doctor's office to make a baby on the examining table, since babies came from the hospital, it seemed to make sense that the doctor would oversee that aspect as well.

Not so clueless now

not strictly my own, but my nan told my mum that before she could get pregnant, the man had to bite her nipple off, i think she held this belief for years!

I used to think people got pregnant by just sleeping together. Literally just laying in bed next to eachother. If they slept too close they'd get pregnant. So I was scared to sleep with my sisters because we might sleep too close or something and I'd get pregnant.

when i was 7ish i used to think that you got a girl pregnant by peeing in them

I used to believe that how a baby fed whilst in its mummies tummy was that s/he would feel the food crashing on his/her head when mummy was eating and so the baby would then lean its head backwards and open its mouth as wide as possible to try and catch whatever food passing that s/he could.
I can still picture it now!!!!!!!

When I was younger I thought that having a baby was easy. First you went to the cabbage patch to pick out a baby. Then you took the baby to the doctor and the doctor would put the baby in mommy's tummy. Then right after the doctor did that you go to another doctor who would remove the baby that same day.

When i was little, i used to believe that babies came from a banana tree in the backgarden of the woman who was pregnant. I never really thoght of the fact that some people dont have backgardens or banana trees!!

I used to think if you kissed people a bunch of times, the germs would form a baby. For this reason, I wondered why men couldn't have babies...

Kerri

I used to believe that if you rubbed naked feet with someone of the opposite sex you would become pregnant!

Tiffany

At the age of 9 or 10, I use to believe that you automatically became pregnant at the age of 21. I worried that I if I wasn't married by then, I would be embarassed being walked down the aisle by my father with my big belly. Little did I know!!!

I believed that you could get pregnant from sitting on the toilet seat after a man used it. And that if you went to the bathroom after a man that hadn't flushed, and the water splashed you, you would be pregnant from it.

When I was about 4 I used to believe that when my parents said "Make a baby" I thought they were gonna make it with flour and eggs like a cake and cook it in the mums belly.

When I was in the sixth grade my best friend's sister, who was a year younger than us, thought she would get pregnant if she sat on a toilet seat after a man had used the bathroom.
