reproduction

Once when I was still in kindergarten, I used to believe that in order for women to have babies, they would have to pray to God and ask for a baby boy. Somehow or another, the baby grows up rapidly into a grown man. Then, somehow or another, the woman will get pregnant after this took place.

Until the tender age of 8, i did not know that i had two openings in my groin( i am female )-- one for urine, one for reproduction. when i discovered this, i was frightened that i had somehow "broken" myself.

I had watched a science-fiction movie where a microscopic ship was in a man`s bloodstream. Now this man kissed a woman and the ship transferred into her bloodstream. While kissing, the micro ship got to tobserve the foetus lodged in her belly (who had been there for months, thing I didn`t realise)

I then beleived then when you kiss a girl, she becomes immediatly pregnant and was dead afraid when girls wanted to play Kiss Tag with us boys.

I was prooved wrong, with great pleasure.
Now, I gotta figure out how that baby got there.

When my Dad told me that babies came from an egg, I thought they would come from ANY egg. So I used to sit on chicken eggs waiting for them to "hatch". All I got was yolk on my butt!

When I was fairly young I knew about sex, however not the vagina (I thought there was nothing there), for a long while I thought penis + breasts was sex and somehow it made a baby that came out of a woman's behind.

When I was 4, my Mama said she was going to have a baby. "It's going to be a baby-girl," she said. I replied, "Yeah, I already knew it was going to be a girl. 'Cause Daddy's not having the baby."

Before my first sex education class, I had figured out how babies were made. It must happen when Mom and Dad kiss.

I recall my mother telling me when I was much younger (probably aobut 6-ish) that babies happened when two people "love each other a lot".

That kind-of scared me, since church sermons would say things like "love thy neighbour", and relatives would ask if I loved them/my family/whatever. I couldn't say it, and would just half-heartedly nod.
Similarly it has taken me a long time before I could write "with love from..." at the bottom of a card!

I think that my head has been screwed up right into my early 20's - not a good way to help relationships along!

My mum gave birth to my brother when I was four - I remember visiting her in the hospital with my aunt and trying to locate my little baby brother underneath her top because I was convinced that he was still trying to hide behind my mother's tummy!

As a child I was convinced that God put babies in the mommy's tummy.
I wanted to be a mommy so bad.
I remember picking iris in a field near home and praying that God would give me a baby in my tummy. While I picked those flowers and prayed it was always in the back of my mind that "I hope God doesn't know that I'm not married?"

when i was really young i asked my mum where babies come from. i was with her one day when she was telling the story to a neighbour, he said "well, when you find out, come and tell me". i thought he really didn't know, despite the fact he was a grown man. he didn't have any kids, so i guess it made sense!!

ive always kinda had the basic idea of sex, but i never understood how you knew when you were going to ejaculate. I thought the only way for sperm to come out was to sleep night after night with your penis in the girl until you had a wet dream, boy, am i glad that is wrong

i used to think that when i was born momies and dadies would go to the baby shop and go buy a baby lol until i found out how babys are made!!!!

kim

when i was small i beleived that children were born by god throwing them through those holes in the ceiling that are used by workmen.all mothers would run with their stomachs facing up and one lucky one would get the kid.then she would be operated to get the kid out.
that was because i knew children were born from the stomachs.

I used to think that when people were married for a while, a baby would just appear. I didn't really think about how it got there. I just assumed that you automatically got a baby if you were married.

When I was a small child I used to believe that in order to make babies, the man had to pee inside the woman.

Once I kissed my stuffed animal and rubbed it against my belly as i was supposed to be going to sleep that night (a teddy bear) I was prolly about 4 or 5, and I was scared to death right after I was pregnant. I dropped the bear on the floor ran to my bed and cried myself to sleep. I was so scared my parents were going to find out that how much of a terrible child I was for not being married first and how they would feel having a bear as a grandchild.

I believed that to get pregnant a man and a woman lay next to each other, naked and he puts his thumb in her belly button.

Someone told my friend that if you drank a glass of vinegar that you could give yourself an abortion. She tried it and threw up everywhere!

I remember at a sleep over some girls were swapping stories. One of them told about a 7-year-old who had a baby. We all beleived her, being 7 ourselves.
