reproduction

At the age of six, after seeing an afternon soap opeara and the crying actresses, I became stressed out and convinced that pregnacy was a disease that you could catch like a cold and that there was nothing you could do to avoid it.

Not mine but quite funny... when one of my friends was at nursery, the class were talking about what they wanted to be when they grew up. She was sitting with all her little friends and they all said they wanted to be mummies when they grew up. My friend thought she'd be different and proclaimed that she wanted to be a daddy...

i used to think that babies were produced by rubbing turmeric powder on the bride's belly during her marriage.

now as to number of and when the babies came into existence, i figured it depended on the amount of powder applied.

I never wanted to have babies when I was a young girl so I believed one day when taking the cat to get "fixed" that I could be also. My Mom didn't agree...neither did the Vet!

Whe I was about 7 my older freind told me that babies where made when a man goes to the bathroom inside the woman. I was horrified by the thought that I was made of pee. Finally I asked my Mom and she told me the truth.

I remember when I found out that you had to have SEX to make babies. I was so disgusted. I could not believe that my parents had done that three times! I vowed that I would just adopt children. Of course, I still may adopt in the future, but as a woman in her mid-twenties, I look forward to making babies. . .but not quite yet. I'll stick to contraception, thanks! ;)

Making Babies

I was the oldest of two children in my family. When I was four I was told that my mom and new brother were coming home from the hospital. So I thought that's where babies were made. I thought it was done in an operating room with a doctor supervising the whole procedure. When I was around eight I finally realized this wasn't so but I did ask my Mother one question, " Mommy,
does it feel good when you make a baby?"
She let out a little giggle and said "why yes it does".

I use to believe that my sibblings and i were all in my moms stomach at the same time, and that the only reason why they were older then me was because i was sleeping and everyone just came out befor me...so they were just older.

When I first asked my parents where babies came from they told me they came from stoes and that I had been bought on half-pice at k-mart. I believed this until I was in fifth grade.

My cousin used to believe that boys could have babies... basically that when the baby was ready, the penis would peel open like a banana

During my mother's pregnancy with my youngest brother, they bought a book and talked to me and my two brothers about sex and where the new baby came from. From then on I believed that my parents only had sex four times - once for each kid they had. I thought sex automaticly resulted in kids untill 7th or 8th grade.

I used to believe that men gave birth to baby boys and women only gave birth to girls.

When I asked my mom where babies came from, she must have been expecting it because this is what she told me :
"Well pumpkin beanie, when a mommy and daddy decide they want a baby, they go to google.com and type in I WANT A BABY and theres a website where you type in if you want the baby to have mommy or daddys eyes, mouth, and so on until every part of the baby either looks like the mommy or the daddy. Then there are some forms you fill out until you submit them and the website sents them straight to God up in Heaven. After God puts all the parts together, the stork flys up to Heaven and picks up the baby, then they fly straight to the Cabbage Patch and the hospital truck picks them up there once they are fully made. Then mommy picks baby up at the hospital and brings baby home!

HAHA I love my mother!

before i knew how babies were made, i used to think as a kid that as soon as a couple got married, a baby instantly appeared in the wife's tummy and started growing from then. hahahahaha

When I was a child, I used to belive than men made women pregnant with a big french kiss.

When I was around 8 years old I didn't understand how babies were born, however I did know that you had to be an adult to have one. I have a sister that was 13 at the time (grown up compared to an 8 year old), and while watching TV with my family a pregnancy test advertisment came on, and I proclaimed "T. needs one of those." My mother just said "I hope not," and no one ever mentioned it again. I hope I didn't cause any trouble.

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!

When I was about 9 or so, there was a neighbor girl who "had" to get married. I didn't really understand what the meant at the time. I was told by a friend that she was going to have a baby. I told her that that was impossible. You had to be married first to have a baby. In my young mind, marriage definitely came first. It was *impossible* to become pregnant without marriage.

When I was younger, I had a lot (and I mean A LOT!) of Legos, and I would build these extravagant, multi-bedroom houses with them. I also had a collection of beads, and I'd pretend that the beads were a family living in the lego house. The storyline was always the same: there was a 16 year old girl, she was the 'mom' and she had a husband and like thirty bead kids. I would make them go on pretend talk shows and try to convince the audience why this was an okay set up. It never occured to me that a 16 year old girl would not be able to be biological mother to all those kids.

During a biology lesson at my "lets not tell the children about sex" Catholic secondary school, I told my closest friend that it order to get a woman pregant that during sex you had to get your penis into her uterus. If you didn't want to get her pregnant you needed to practice the withdrawal method. Which according to my expert knowledge was at the moment of orgasm (yours not hers I suspect)withdrawing your penis to just outside her uterus.
I haven't seen this friend for a long time, but I hope he got better advice from elsewhere. But for certain he didn't get from the Catholic Church school in Halifax!
