getting pregnant

when I was like 10 my friend told me that she had this special lotion that if you used it you would get pregnant. Well I wanted a baby (not knowing what that involved) amd went home and used her lotion. Needless to say, I didn't get pregnant.

Until I was 14 years old I thought you got pregnant when a boy pee'd in you....no one ever explained that something ELSE came out of the "pee pee"

When I was like 5 my mom was pregnant with my younger brother, i asked my step-dad how my mom became pregnant and he told me that he put an orange seed in her belly button and it grows a baby. lol i silly enough beleived this and alwyas made sure i spat my orange seeds out! lol

I was at the local pool one day and was eating a huge bag of grapes. My mum told me that if I ate too many grapes I'd end up like the woman sitting near us. The woman was pregnant, but mum meant that I would get a bloated belly. Naturally I concluded that eating grapes made you pregnant!

Up until i was about 9 i thought that you could give birth to a baby by yourself, without the help of a man, but maybe a man would help speed up the pregnancy or make the baby healthier.I think i made that mistake because i didn't understand how single mothers came about. So whenever I saw a single mother with a child i imagined her as being a bit irresponsible and silly for not getting a man to help her make the the baby first.

this might be a common belief, i dont know. But when i was little i was very innocent, and i believed that to have children, all you had to do was become married. then, you would share a bed and if you wanted to, the woman would magically become pregnant. i dont know. its weird.

Some one told me in 2nd grade that to have a baby, a boy and a girl have to poop and pee on eachother. Since I hadn't heard any other way, I believed it.

I used to think that you had to be a certain age....18 to have a baby. Also I thought babies were created when a boy and a girl kissed and their saliva mixed somehow making the baby come out of your stomach like in Alien. I was stupid ].]

Well my sister thought it butt when she was younger she got told that you can only have babies if you wish for them. her mate soon came over & they were playing bratz sharing a room i was in the same room chilaxingg and i over heard there conversation. the other girl suggested that they made a babie by having sex my sister then said ' well you have to wish otherwise they'll never be a baby, make sure she wishes afterwards ' i couldnt help laughing.

I used to believe that you had to be on your period to get pregnant........

I used to think that when you wanted a baby you HAD to be married and you had to get on your knees and pray and say, 'God up in the heavens I want a baby *whatever*' and the baby would come down from the sky. I didn't know hospitals existed back then.

Baby Clueless

well, when i was little me and my neighbor (who was a boy) ran around naked and touched eachothers privates. i was so scared that when i got my period i woud get pregnant cuz i thought we had sex... i havnt got it yet tho... lol

very confused child

I thought you could get pregnant by french kissing becuase your salivas mixed and formed the baby in your stomach.

I thought that in order to become pregnant, a woman HAD to be married. It just wouldn't work otherwise, There was once supper table gossip in our house about a teenager being pregnant and I was adamant. "But she can't be pregnant! She's not married!"
This was 1967.

When I was about 5 I believed that you could become pregnant from being kissed on the neck.

Jamie

a friend of mine thought that you could get pregnant by swallowing sperm. Ha!

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."

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.
