getting pregnant

I used to believe that if you slept in the bed nude, you could get pregnant!

haha

When I was younger I always thought that when my mom wanted a baby, she got one. And when it was born, her stomach split open and it came out. I always asked what happened to the cut, and i was told 'God' takes care of it. Then when i was about 9, I knew some what about sex, but not too much. I figured that a penis some how melted into the vagina (which was the name of the smooth front part of a women) and a baby was automatically made.

Up until the sixth grade, I thought that it wasn't possible for a girl to give birth when she's under the age of 21 (somehow, I was convinced that 21 was the age when you became an adult). I was horrified when I learned the truth in sex ed!!!

when i was little my mom told me that all babies started out as seads in a mommys stomach..well iwas playing with my dollhouse at the time and i thought she said seat..so i was playing that the mom of my dollhouse was pregnant and put the seat int the middle of the room and looked up at my mom and showed her..she asked me why and i said .."you told my babies had seats to sit on whilethey wer ein the mommy's tummy." she laughed and corrected me but i still thought that the baby must have SOMETHING to sit on!

I remember when my mom first told me about reproductive system. I was about 8 years old and i became deeply afraid that I was going to get pregnant from using toilet paper because it made contact with my "parts".

I used to think that eating watermelon seeds got you pregnant. When I ate one purpously to get pregnant, and I never did, I was crushed!

I used to believe (from watching T.V.) that if you literelly slept with someone, as in a man and a woman who weren't related, slept in the same bed, the woman would get pregnant.

I used to go to a christian school, so I thought that God would see the two people, and think, 'oh, they're in the same bed, she will have a baby in 9 months!'

lol

One time I was drinking apple juice and my little sister wanted a drink and I told her no because I am sick. She told me it was okay cuz she was sick too. I told her that what I have is very contagious, so she asked what it was. I told her I was pregnant and she got scarred and said "you can catch pregnant if you drink from a pregnant lady???" needless to say, I didn't have to share my apple juice! LOL

When me and my friends were little we were told that sex was the guy putting his penis on the girls head and then the sperm would somehow travel down the girls body and into her tummy to make the baby..lol...we were like 5 years old

when I was in kindergarten, my mom told me that babies were made when you "sleep with someone". Having been given this "secret", I suddenly developed a phobia of naptime when the boys and girls in my class slept in the same room on cots. I didn't want to "sleep with" the entire class, so I refused to take a nap for two whole weeks. I kept waiting for babies to appear, and when they didn't I decided my mom was making up stories, and continued taking naptime.

As a child, and I don't know where this came from, I believed that a man and woman had to have sex for 9 hours in order to make a baby, and a woman wasn't really pregnant unless she had the telltale belly.

When two people slept together the sperm crawled across the sheets from the man to the woman like a line of marching ants.

When I was younger I used to believe that women got pregnant from eating too much. Whenever we would see a pregnant woman out in public I would say I guess she ate to much, huh mom?!

i used to believe that a woman becomes pregnant when a man sees/touches her naked body. in indian movies the sex act is never shown, the woman's clothes are tossed one after another, and a few scenes later she announces that she is pregnant!!

Once my friend's little sister asked my friend how people get pregnant, so my friend told her that you will get pregnant if a bumblebee runs into a stop sign, and you're within 10 feet of it.
She believed it.

I always thought that you could only start getting pregnant after you got married, at which point you would get pregnant randomly.

Well if you have played sims b4 you will know what im talking about. well in sims you would get a baby from kissing. i knew that you have to wait nine months for the baby to come out and i know were it came out but i didn't know how to get the baby. but i knew was sex was. any way on sims all you did was make out like 7 or 8 times in a row and it would ask if you wanted to have a baby. so i was confused cause i say my mom and dad make out all the time and she didn't have a baby after me

i swear this is a real memory i have.... my mom told me when i was very young (maybe around 7 or 8?) that girls got pregnant by eating a piece of the man's penis - like in a salad or soup. i shared this knowledge with a friend & my mom got a phone call from the friend's mother that i was making up sex stories.

I used to believe that you could choose the sex of your child because of what a classmate told me in the fifth grade.

I thought that if you wanted a boy, a man inserted his penis in a woman's vagina. If you wanted a girl, a man would insert his penis in a woman's anus. And that if a man urinated into a woman's vagina this would create conjoined twins.

I was a gullible 11-year old

I used to think babies were made by just lying down naked in your bed.
Then you wake up and God puts a baby in your belly.
