reproduction

I used to believe that when a woman and a man wanted a baby they would pray to God and he would mail them some kind o fpotion that the woman would drink and make her pregnant.

I used to think that Kissing or making out with someone meant having sex. Along with that i thought that when you got married, you just got pregnant from the fact that you got married.

Even though they told us in sex-ed all about sperms and eggs and cell reproduction, they never actually told us HOW the sperm got to the egg. I had to figure it out for myself. So until I put the pieces together, when I saw teenagers making rude gestures simulating vaginal intercourse or heard them talking about it, I thought it was just another foreplay activity, and not the actual pregnancy-causing act itself.

My birthday is September 1.

For 20 years, I believed that that was 9 months after New Year's Eve, and that I was just a giant mistake after too much drinking.

When I got my PhD in math (really), I was able to figure out that in fact I was born 9 months after Thanksgiving!

Who, me?

i used to think that interracial couples couldnt have babies because they were like different species

when I was around 8 or 9, i used to kiss my baby sister alot and one day i thought I could get pregnant by kissing her, so for the next few months i watched to see if my stomach got bigger (it didnt lol)

I used to believe that each girl was born with a seed inside her and that when she got married and was 25 that seed would turn into a baby. And that's where babies came from.

I remember the first time I discovered the back massager. I also remember looking at my stomach and thinking it had gotten a little bigger and that I was pregnant! Soon after of course I got it straighten out when I asked my mom where babies came from.

I used to believe that babies were born with teeth and that was why they were fed with bottles. To nurse a baby was old fashioned, not to mention very painful for the mother. In the early sixties, in the Seattle-Tacoma region, all the babies I saw were bottle fed.

until 9th grade i used to believe that all primates (including humans) just needed to live together to give birth.

when i was about 5, i used to believe that when people where pregnant, that they only had a disease or something and their stomach would go down

I used to think that to make a baby, parents drunk eachother's pee and BOOM - baby. I have no idea where the idea came from.

I believed that girls were born as boys, and boys were born as girls, and you changed when you were still a baby.

When I was little my mum told me that she had bought me from the baby shop. My teachers told me that babies grew inside their mummy's tummys, and somehow, I managed to believe both. I never quite connected the two and thought 'hang on, one of them's got to be wrong...'

I used to think that babies came from a baby store and that when my mother had to go the hospital when she had my little brother I thought that she and my dad were going to the baby store to pick one out. I believed this until about age 4.

After watching a sex-ed film in elementary school, I thought the way to get a girl pregnant was to pee in her.

I used to believe that in order for a woman to have a baby, she had to take one that was already born and swallow it. Then she would go to a doctor a few days later and he would cut it out of her stomach. I never understood how a woman could swallow something so big.

a couple of guys i knew thought that when a woman had a kid, her pee hole and bum hole meshed into one! they were told this by the smartest guy in class... who believed this was the way as well...
