So I was reading that QI book that was 20p on the Kindle and it said that 1 in 10 babies born in Europe were conceived in an IKEA bed!

Frankly, I thought it'd be higher. 50% of my children were conceived in an IKEA bed. So, MN how many, if any, of your dcs were started in a MALM or an ASPELUND?

PS am stuck bored at home with a vomitty dd.

PPS Thank you to whoever it was who posted about those kindle books Grin

DD2 was conceived in/on a Malm!

SummerRainIsADistantMemory · 25/02/2013 11:59

None of mine. We only got Ikea in Ireland since I finished reproducing.

Dd and ds1 were conceived in our rented flat so most likely Argos.

Ds2 on a 50 year old sprung frame metal monstrosity on loan from my parents.

Sadly no babies have been or will be conceived on our lovely new acacia wood superking bed that we got after ds2 was born.

OvO · 25/02/2013 12:00

My DS2 was!

DS3 was conceived on a John Lewis dining room chair. Grin

BadRoly · 25/02/2013 12:00

All 4 of mine I think were conceived in the same Ikea bed. I think only because I don't know which actual dtd was when each was conceived except dc4.

I got myself a new bed 2 years ago once we knew there would be no more minirolls Wink

SunshineOutdoors · 25/02/2013 12:02

Not sure exactly which occasion I conceived on but yes it's more than likely that both times it occurred on an ikea bed.

Theicingontop · 25/02/2013 12:03

Homebase here. It was reduced because of a chip in the wood, got it for a tenner. Bargain of the century.

MyNameIsAnAnagram · 25/02/2013 12:05

Both of mine in a malm!!

Flobbadobs · 25/02/2013 12:07

1st was not in an Ikea bed
2nd wasn't either
3rd was possibly on a park bench so unless Ikea is making them these days then nope!

If he was conceived in bed, it was either a Victorian four-poster or a crappy hotel bed.

LazyMachine · 25/02/2013 12:13

Yep, in a Malm. That we got rid of during my pregnancy and bought something much nicer!

BeaWheesht · 25/02/2013 12:13

Ds was, dd wasn't.

McNewPants2013 · 25/02/2013 12:17

2 DC not sure when dc1 was conceived DC 2 in a bed that want from ikea

McNewPants2013 · 25/02/2013 12:17

Wasn't

gordyslovesheep · 25/02/2013 12:18

Maybe centre parcs is only 99% effective!

JustOneMoreBite · 25/02/2013 12:19

DD1: No
DD2: Yes - Malm

TooExtraImmatureCheddar · 25/02/2013 12:27

Neither of mine were. Think DD2 was conceived on an Ikea sofa, though. DD1 was most probably conceived in the garden. My bed is an antique super-king sleigh-bed which cost £100 in a second-hand shop and creaks too loudly to bonk in

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 25/02/2013 12:32

Our bed was from Texas Homeware (remember them ? ) IIRC they went out of business in the 1990s.

We still have that bed been sleeping in it for 23 years Grin

YesIamYourSisterInLaw · 25/02/2013 12:34

None

MerryMingeWhingesAgain · 25/02/2013 12:34

I have never been to IKEA. Because our nearest is an hour away and I don't like motorways

justaweeone · 25/02/2013 12:39

Both of mine!

Dawndonna · 25/02/2013 12:41

None of ours.

HoratiaWinwood · 25/02/2013 12:42

Roffle.

Four pregnancies, two live births. Three (both DCs) conceived on IKEA bed, but not IKEA mattress.

We have a superking now to fit the intruders in. IKEA don't do beds that big!

MadCap · 25/02/2013 13:38

Horatia, I wish we had a superking, one our little intruders chucked her guts all over our double at 5 am which meant we all had to get up. DH is away for work tonight. lucky bastard

nope - mine was conceived in a little petri dish.

Whatsthatnoise · 25/02/2013 14:03

I only have one child but she may have been concieved in an Ikea bed but as we were young and in love she could also have been concieved on the floor, couch, dining table, kitchen worktop or even the local rugby club Blush disclaimer I worked there we were alone and the door was locked
