I Didn't Think I Could Get Pregnant Because... A POLL
Posted: 02-20-08 11:20am

What are some of the things you didn't know about getting pregnant?

For example, here are some things I've heard people say:

I didn't think I could get pregnant in the first year after my period started....
I didn't think I could get pregnant the first time I had sex...
etc., etc.

Besides writing down things you mistakenly believed, also please include things you've heard other people say about this.

Thanks!

I had always thought that you couldn't get pregnant during your period. It shocked the crap out of me a few years ago when I found out that it's actually possible.

I don't think I ever had any misconceptions (no pun intended) about pregnancy but when I was pregnant with my son I remember wondering whether he could hear my thoughts! LOL!!! For a split second I believed he could and then I thought, "What the bloody hell am I ON?"

well, apparently *I* can't get pregnant while on my period (or else my ex is sterile) Laughing or my body is just that good at keeping on schedule, lol.

but other than that, I pretty much knew you could get pregnant from just about anything. and I did hear the one on the girl thought she was pregnant because she swallowed it. I knew right away that was impossible.

Speaking of the birds and the bees...

When my mom was a little girl, she asked her mom (my Grammie) where babies come from. My Grammie told her "a slit in your legs". So my mom looked all over her legs and her thighs to see where this "slit" was. Also, my Grammie told her babies were made with a seed from the woman and a seed from the man. So my mom thought when a woman wanted to have a baby, she took 2 seeds from the medicine cabinet and she would get pregnant. Needless to say, my grammie is a little prude.

totally not pregnancy related but when i was little i believed that if you swallowed watermelon seeds then a watermelon could and would grow in your stomach. actually, i'm pretty sure my mom told me that one. i guess she was tired of me eating the seeds...

I thought they had to cut the baby out when I was a little kid. (I didn't know about C-sections, or that they would become so common.)
