I'm hopeful that that will shed some light on this issue. Because that data was collected during the pregnancy when women didn't know what outcome they were going to have. So it's more likely to be accurate and predictive. Jones: Right. Well, and I'm going to give a shout out to our very own department which helped really lead this sleep assessment with these many, many women. So what's the takeaway for our listeners, pregnant or not pregnant, and bed partners of pregnant women?
What should we be telling them? Gibbins: I want women to not feel guilty. That's my biggest takeaway. We do not have enough data to say that sleeping on your back leads to stillbirth. At best, I think it may be linked to sleep apnea. And then the sleep apnea, exactly like you were saying, is the cause, not the sleeping on your back. It is hard enough to get pregnant and to sleep well. The stress caused by trying to sleep in a position that is unnatural to you is more likely detrimental in my mind than the act of sleeping on your back.
Jones: And we all, we've talked about stress in pregnancy and how that's not good for your baby. Jones: So get a good night's sleep and grow your baby as best you can.

Gibbins: One in four or fewer. Gibbins: Correct. Theilen: Modifiable. Monson: However, I think it's a reach in this situation. Theilen: Yeah, absolutely. Jones: So we need a study that will actually do a better job. Are we doing that study?
