Is it the Worst Thing in the World if...

At most of our doctor's appointments, we rarely have a lot of questions. And when we do, they're met with a laugh and a reassurance that we'll "be fine." Mostly because those questions are along the lines of, "We don't know what we're doing. Can we keep a human alive?" But last week, Stephanie finally had a real question! Now, I had already answered this question for her, but I'm not a doctor, so she didn't believe me. Or, probably more accurately, didn't want to believe me. And so when she had the opportunity, she phrased it this way:

"Is it the worst thing in the world if I sleep on my back?"

But instead of the laugh and the smile and the "You'll be fine!", the doctor did something she's never done before...she leaned back and grimaced. "Welllll..." The doctor went on to say that, actually, that's definitely something she should not be doing. So, actually, yes, there's a possibility that it COULD be the worst thing in the world. This is the same doctor who told us crackheads can have healthy babies, so suffice it to say Stephanie has been sleeping on her side (unhappily) ever since.

And now we're back to questioning whether we're still more prepared to have a baby than a crackhead.

Although there is one other option...
