:::Technically pregnancy begins with the implantation of the foetus in the uterus, which occurs well after the intercourse which caused it. That said it does seem ridiculously harsh to ban someone from an article for an apparent unintentional mistake which was removed as soon as it was discovered. I do wonder where Engel got this information in the first place, it certainly wasn't from any school textbook or a proper teacher... [[User:StatsMsn|StatsMsn]] 08:04, 24 May 2008 (EDT)

::::And it is a fickle point, but Ed with the greatest respect you stated that conception occurs in the womb. This is not true, conception occurs in the Fallopian tubes, the embryo then develops in the uterus. I intend to expand this article further and include information on the development of the baby without mentioning sex [[User:StatsMsn|StatsMsn]] 08:09, 24 May 2008 (EDT)

A note about process - I ended up writing this article because Ed Poor and I were trying to make the [[sexual intercourse]] article have some useful, family-friendly content, rather than what it has now, which will simply make a young reader perplexed, then leave the site and go elsewhere for their information. And it was in fact Ed who deleted the previous version of this article, and I then wrote this stub, so that the pregnancy link in the SI article actually linked to something. Understand that I was trying to write the simplest, most family-friendly version, and was grossly simplifying and knowingly writing a stub. That said, I oversimplified, and that ended up with misleading information being posted, but please understand that to 'ban' me from this article is incredibly harsh, considering this site is ''littered'' with single sentence stubs that need massive expansion to make sense - for example, a quick Random Article click leads me to... [[Janet Reno]], which only tells me she was involved in the Waco event. Surely lots of information missing there too, eh?
No matter - I '''admit''' it was wrong. But the article needs some explanation of the mechanism of what ''causes'' pregnancy. At present, the article reads as if pregnancy is something that simply 'happens' to women. How does it happen? Mostly, it happens through [[sexual intercourse]]. And that is all I wanted to say on the matter. No 'filth' - though I am appalled that anyone would think God's basic biology 'filthy', 'gross', 'disgusting' or 'coarse'. The attitudes to human reproduction on this site leave me feeling very uneasy about the nature of some of the individuals involved. [[User:EngelUmpocker|EngelUmpocker]] 13:18, 24 May 2008 (EDT)
