Out of nowhere my CEO made a joke about a doctor talking to a woman who'd just given birth, punchline was doctor saying "it's a&e down there". Sexist? Inappropriate? funny? Bit weird?

How are people not getting the joke. Basically it was a comment about the impact of childbirth on our vaginas! Hugely inappropriate OP.

@eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee so unfunny I can't remember. Slightly sore point (pardon the pun) as I've had 4 kids and joke made in middle of formal meeting. Yuk.

I am struggling to understand the punchline.

On the face of it I wouldn't really be bothered, but without knowing the actual joke and the context it was told, and the topic of conversation that lead up to it, it's really hard to judge.

OP has literally said the joke in her post.

Yeah it's not great OP.
