As a vbac mom whose first baby was persistent breech, NOPE, no problem at all requesting an ulstrasound! In fact, with this baby, it was transverse then breech for a while. I was almost certain that it flipped one night a day or two...

IMO, it would depend on if it were an item that had limited items or undefined boundaries. For example, like you said, anyone can make more brownies, provided there is more mix/more ingredients in the house, so anyone can eat their...
