Where were you conceived?

    I was reminded tonight of a Lancashire Lady I used to work with who would tell everyone she had just met,

    'I were conceived in a graveyard you know'

    Most people know where they were born, but do many actually know where the whole thing started, and is it something you would like to find out?

    I haven't a clue btw.

    ISN'T IT A TAD BIT FREAKY TO KNOW, OR WANT TO KNOW, WHERE ONE WAS CONCEIVED?!

    Not really, it's only natural to wonder where and when the cum tadpoles swam up the fabulous tubes into the oval chamber, to meet the queen egg, and so to begin the you that's reading this right now.

    So ... To know the knowledge of when and where your mam and dad did it? ... which will project an image into ones owns head!?


    Maybe its just me, but no fucking thanks. I'll stick to knowing what hospital I was born in.

    I dont know and I've never asked about such things, but I've a pretty clear idea in my head. See if I count back the days from my Birthday the duration of regular pregnancy...I was conceived on New Years :(

    i was born 9 months to the day after my mams birthday so probably behind a skip or the old sheeling hotel in raheny


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,068 ✭✭✭LoonyLovegood


    I believe it was probably their bed, considering I was a valentines baby...ugh. THE IMAGES.

    My old pair were on holiday in Spain 9 months before I ruined their lives, so probably there.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 196 ✭✭Pugins


    I always thought it was 9 months from conception to birth too but pregnancy is 40 weeks so counting back 9 months might not get to you conception date. Plus how many were actually born on due date, you may have been early or overdue. So guess if you really want to know you might have to ask but do you think your parents will know? Not necessarily!

    Telling people is a bit freaky.

    My birthday is the middle of November....count back 9 months and its valentines day! But tbh....I couldn't give two fcuks where the deed was done!

    Actually, pregnancy is 38 weeks from conception to birth (if the baby comes on time). When you're pregnant you count the weeks from the first day of your last period, even though conception won't happen until 2 weeks after this - hence them saying that pregnancy lasting 40 weeks. So before you conceive a baby you are already 2 weeeks pregnant.

    I did not know this until I got pregnant. It's like a little gift to pregnant women, you get 2 weeks for free :)

    9 months before I was born was my mother's 18th birthday. So I can only presume it was in the back of my dad's jeep or somewhere equally classy.


  • Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 13,102 Mod ✭✭✭✭JupiterKid


    Probably in the Canary Islands.

    That's where my parents and sisters were on holiday exactly 9 months before I was born.

    The Beckham's named their first child Brooklyn because he was conceived (or possibly born) in Brooklyn. I wonder what would have happened if he was conceived/born in Ahascragh.

    Well, my parents anniversary is around 9 months before my birth so I have no clue, but I presume God came down and just told my mam she was pregnant because I'm a virgin conception. And I'll cut anyone who says different.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,012 ✭✭✭Plazaman


    Jaysus OP, I don't know about your family but that's not exactly a question or conversation that a lot of people would like to have with their Mother.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 81,220 ✭✭✭✭biko


    I actually know as my mum told me it was in a certain room in my granddad's house when she and dad was staying over one weekend.

    Too much information mum!!

    Actually Sue Townsend satirised that a bit in the Adrian Mole books. Mole encounters an old flame who, approaching middle age, is spectacularly chavvy. Two of her kids, IIRC, are named Skegness and Bradford. Gave me a laugh.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,065 ✭✭✭galwaybabe


    My folks used to love mortifying me by telling me where I was conceived - back of a hay lorry somewhere in former Yugoslavia. They hitched to Greece for their honeymoon


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,291 ✭✭✭naughtysmurf


    I have a sibling who was concieved in Brooklyn, myself well down a laneway against a wheelie bin just outside just outside Old Trafford I believe


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 509 ✭✭✭NeonCookies


    I don't know where, but I was conceived around Christmas. I was also adopted...so I'm guessing too much mulled wine! (Christmas festivities gone wrong!)

    I'd say a few have been conceived in the back of your taxi, 2 passengers getting it on in the back, you pull over and pull off while they get down to it.......a moving Den of Iniquity your hackney :pac:

    I was made in a jam jar.

    Test tubes were too expensive back then.

    Might explain why my blood type is marmalade....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,654 ✭✭✭cruiser178


    I have a small tattoo that says made in limerick, got it done about 20 years ago. When i showed it to my mother she looked at it and said "ya, but you were conceived up against a wall". I have never shown it to a soul since.

    No shagging in the bus I'm afraid. I can handle puke, piss, vomit, even all three together, but scaly skin turns my stomach.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,785 ✭✭✭Ihatecuddles-old


    I'm adopted, but I've seen my birth parents...they look like Jeremy Kyle's wet dream. I'm guessing it wasn't somewhere classy..

    Conceived?:confused:

    a stork brought me to my mammy and daddy

    Wait a second... so was I!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,282 ✭✭✭✭banie01


    I was conceived in February 1979(The day seat belts became compulsory for Drivers)
    In a Volkswagen Beetle, parked in a Wetland preserve in Limerick....
    Underneath a sign that said ''Taking of game birds strictly prohibited!''
    With the assistance of a faulty carex condom!

    My Ma proceeded to tell me this story over a microphone in front of all my friends and family at my 18th bday party...:o
    She rounded it off by adding...
    ''Sometimes I wish he(my Da) had kept his seatbelt on...
    And that I'd read the signs!
    But hopefully the condom company will settle out of court!
    So it might all be worth it in the end'' :o
    I still get slagged over it to this day!

    My friends Ma told us that she was conceived in the front seat of her Da's car because it was one of the first cars with reclining seats :D Needless to say my friend was not impressed, we were in stitches :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,919 ✭✭✭RosyLily


    If my calculations are correct, I was conceived when George HW Bush defeated Bob Dole in Republican primaries on Super Tuesday.

    How disturbing!!!! My parents are Republicans?!?!?:eek::eek:


    (Bob Dole don't need this.)

    I never gave it any thought. Sounds like a subject you wouldn't want to discuss with your mother:eek:

    Dunno about the where, but the when lines up well with Dublin winning the 1983 All-Ireland football final...
