Most of us have heard of chairs that are said to increase a woman's chance of conceiving, these are usually to be found in a pub or workplace with typically several women becoming pregnant after sitting on them. The oldest one I've found so far is in the Ye Olde Trip To Jerusalem pub in Nottingham:

As the chairs are traditionally wooden (though not always nowadays), I'm wondering if this superstition is a carry over from touching wood for good luck?
