getting pregnant

I used to think that a man and woman would kiss at night in bed and the next morning the woman would wake up pregnant w/a big belly and the next day they would have a baby and you could choose if it was a boy or girl as soon as it was born.

I used to think that when pregnant women actually had parasols in their stomach so that they could easily go to the beach.

I believed that women who wanted babies ate a seed, which then grew into their baby.

When I was a little boy i used to believe that babys were brought by swans because i saw it in the movies so i thought i was real. So one day i asked my parents if it was real and they told me yes it's real but one day i learned that was wrong because i saw my mother pregnant and i saw she giving birth to a baby girl

I felt so stupid!

I used to believe that pregnancy was entirely spontaneous, and didn't realise that men had anything to do with it.

In my first sex ed class they taught us about ejaculation but didn't explain the specifics. Until I got old enough and started "experimenting", I thought that the man had to pee in the girl to get her pregnant.

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.

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 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.

I read a kids' sex education book that gave most of the facts, but neglected to mention that sex does not result in pregnancy every time. For years I thought you couldn't have sex without having a baby, until my mum told me otherwise.

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!

My grandmother used to believe that they way you got pregnanut was to swallow a watermellon seed. She was terified of eating watermellon for a long time after that.

I was taught in the fourth grade about artificial insemination, and they called it "frozen pop" so I thought you could get pregnant from drinking a frozen pop!

I used to believe that women could get pregnant from oral sex (as in a blowjob). A scoolfriend told me that some time in primary school. I actually believed that sperm could travel intact all the way through the woman's digestive system, then end up making a baby. I never thought of the idea people has sex not to make babies, but for fun...

I used to think that you were just "blessed" with a baby, because people would always say "they were blessed with a baby etc." I thought that just anybody random people were blessed by god with a baby and became pregnat.

Not my Belief but my mom's: My mom knew what being pregnany was and that they eventually had a baby, but she had no idea how they got pregnant, her grandpa everytime they saw a pregnant woman, would say "opps, she swallowed a watermelon seed" so, for quite a while she believed this...
