This one’s for women planning on having children: You can either get pregnant or lay an egg

A genie comes to you and offers you the choice between having a baby by getting pregnant or laying an egg. For both options having a baby still requires the usual steps, other than that one you don’t go through 9 months of pregnancy, or labor, for the laying an egg option. Unsurprisingly getting pregnant comes with greater health risks, and be more uncomfortable, but if you lay an egg then there’s a significantly greater chance of the egg accidentally being destroyed than the chance of a miscarriage if you get pregnant. For instance if you leave the egg at home then there’s a decent chance that you might accidentally set the temperature to something that causes the egg to be no longer viable. If you bring the egg with you when you leave your home then there’s a decent chance of accidentally dropping and destroying it. There’s also a decent chance of an animal sneaking over to the egg when you aren’t paying attention and eating the egg. Also if you lay an egg then the baby will be born less developed than if you get pregnant, but they won’t necessarily suffer as a result.
