Lost in Translation

Quite possibly the most awkward and hilarious conversation I've had thus far...

After our initial blood test, my doctor called and said she wanted to do some extra tests because she was concerned about an early miscarriage.  That's one word that can freak out a pregnant lady as soon as it's spoken.  So of course, hubby and I were hyper-vigilant about the things that could help or hurt a pregnancy.  Specifically, we were wondering if I could still take certain over the counter medications and if orgasms would harm an as of yet precarious pregnancy.  The internet and our pregnancy book had all kinds of answers...none of them were the same.  So we took our questions to our doctor.  And behold the most awkward conversation I've ever had in the middle of a nurses' station:

N = new nurse I had never seen before.  Her spoken English has not quite reached the fluency level.
S = me
H = hubby, standing and observing silently for most of conversation


N = Ok, so you said you had questions for doctor...
S = Yes...about medication and other activities
N = (typing) Ok..."medication."  What kind of medication?
S = I want to know if I can take benadryl.
N = Ok..."benadryl"  That's the name of the medication?
S = ...yes.
N = Ok..."wants to know if she can take benadryl."  Ok. And you said something else?  Another question for doctor?
S = yes...I want to know...if it's ok to have an orgasm while we're waiting for these test results.  I dunno if it'll like...jostle the embryo or something.
N = Ok.  An orgasm.
S = yes.
N = and what is orgasm?
S = um...well...it's like what happens to you at the end of sex sometimes.  Ya know, like climax.
N = Ok. Yes.  So it is like exercise.
S = not...quite.
N = Oh so it is a medication??  (completely straight face)
S = no...it's more of...an experience (trying very hard not to look at hubby or other nurses because I'm sure I will die of laughter if I do)
N = I do not understand.
S = It's an experience of like waves rushing over your body that feels really good during sex...(i'm hoping she gets this one because I truly don't know how else to explain it)
N = Oh. Ohhhhhh!!!!!  Like waves (runs hands over body and smiles)
S = yes...like that...
N = Ok. I ask her (walks away)

H = (quietly) I feel like that's a word she should know...

giggles abounded.
