In 4th grade, I didn't pay much attention in the "Getting to know your body" class, and it said something about the egg getting caught in the lining of the uterus and becoming pregnant, or so I thought. So I thought you could get pregnant without having sex, and I freaked out. I think I even had my mom convinced for a while, too. I freaked out and tried to stay as straight up and down as I could so the egg wouldn't go to the sides of my uterus.
