LIFE HEALTH-BEDREST 3 SL
"This best part of the day is when my son comes to visit," said Lindsey Lafferty of O'Fallon, Mo., who plays with her son Oscar, 3, on Thursday, Sept. 11, 2014, at Mercy Hospital St. Louis. Doctors placed Lafferty on bed rest 8 weeks ago when she 22 weeks pregnant, due to a thinning cervix. She is expecting identical triplets. (Laurie Skrivan/St. Louis Post-Dispatch/MCT)
