I was very very naieve child, and my parents never told me anything about sex. So you can imagine my suprise when my best friend told me where babies came from. She told me that adults "bounced and jilted each others bums" and I subsequently made sure my backside was always facing the wall, in case I accidently got pregnant.

I used to believe that you didn't have to have sex to have babies. I thought that when two people got married, God sent them a baby if they asked for one. My friend shattered my illusion when, at a wedding, she told me that the couple had to "do it" twice a week to have a baby. I was appalled! And to think I was twelve years old believing this!

I thought that to have a baby you just kissed a lot. . . (I was young!)

When I was small we had encyclopedias for children called ChildCraft. In one of these books was a picture of an outline of a man and a woman with an arrow pointing between their middles. For several years I was convinced that if a married man and woman stood next to each other, some sort of substance would float through the air, making the woman pregnant. You had to be grown up and married for this to happen, which is why it was okay for me to stand next to boys.

I used to believe that the only time adults had sex was to have a baby, so in the movies when a prospective father was surprised his wife was going to have a baby, I thought that was really silly. Of course he knew!

I thought that a woman could never have sex during her pregnancy. I was completely ready to wait the whole time when our first was conceived. I think my wife wishes now that she had let me believe it.

Babies were delivered in a suitcase-not by a stork, that would be too dangerous!
Until I was 6 I thought the mid-wife brought the baby in her big bag and the mother just got fat because she wouldn't have time to cook or eat.
I have a 2 yr old and am now pregnant with my second one. We talk about the baby all the time and I show him my belly and my son thinks he has one in his belly button too. But when we go to the store and people ask him where his new brother is, he always reaches up and grabs my breasts and tells them that's where the baby is! I have NO idea where he got that idea!!!

When I was four, as all pregnant women wore the same 5 dresses (with the lacey sailor collars- YUK) I thought that it was the fashion to wear these with a football under them.

My son (who will be 4 in July)told my husband and I this morning that babies come from baby bushes and that you just reach into the bush and pull one out. :)

I used to believe that Mummies had to eat everything that was going to make the babies that they were going to have. Hence my disgust when I saw my mother eating somthing that looked like bones when she was expecting my younger brother. It took me ages to figure out it was actually bran sticks!

I had always known about sex; I was never told that old one about the stork. However, I didn't learn the specifics until I was twelve. I came up with a truly brilliant theory, though. Men and women had magnetic force-fields around them, men were north magnets and women were south magnets. Babies were conceives when men and women got so close together that the magnetic fields touched, and had to spen a whole night like that. As you can tell, I spent much thought on the subject, and was convinced that if I held two ordinary metal magnets together for a whole night, more metal would appear in nine months.

When we were little, my mother had bought us a book titled, "How You Were Born". In this book, there was an illustration of a sperm under a magnifying glass. For years, I thought the magnifying glass was a frying pan and was totally mystified by where and how the frying pan fit into the reproductive process.

My friend's sister was born when she was 5. Her Dad told she is 7lb. My friend was crying as she thought she had to pay £7 for seeing her and she didn't have that money

my mum told me that she had picked my brother and i up from the bin. but because i didn't like my brother very much as a kid, i used to tell him that mummy picked us both from bins but my bin was nicer and that's why i am a nicer person. lol!

My mum said that babies came from teabags and when mummies wanted to have a baby the daddies had to make them a special cup of tea with the teabag!Beck

When I saw a pregnant woman I always believed they had a football under their dress and were off to the park to play with it.

I used to believe that one white parent and one black parent made an Asian baby.
