to think this comment is totally inappropriate

[SantasLittleFriend]

I phoned my friend this evening to wish her a Merry Christmas & ask how her pg was going. My best mate is 41+5 weeks pg & a midwife came to do a sweep but it was'nt her regular midwife. She told her the usual that she should go into labour very soon blah blah, however, they said that with her DD 1 and she ended up getting to nearly 43 weeks & had to be induced.

The midwife told my friend that the best way to get into labour is to have sex but to swallow is more effective, my friend said "what do you mean by swallow" and she said "you know, oral". She wan't even laughing about it either.

I really cant believe a trained professional would say something like this. Should she report this midwife? I told her she should. I would be furious. Is she being unreasonable to report her because of this comment?

to the OP: sorry, YABU. Sounds like practical advice to me! Not sure Id follow it though.

Do you think it would work if it was, I dunno, mixed in with yoghurt and eaten???

what like fruit corner?try porridge- mmmmm

Perhaps she needs to be a bit more festive and have it with her xmas pudding tomorrow.

Instead of brandy butter. Eugh!

fruit pudding avec spunk

Just need to make sure it only goes on her portion though..

This thread is hysterical - there are times I just love Mumsnet, the crappiest of days are totally forgotten about when I'm reading threads like this.

Yes YABU - it was only advice and I'm sure some would happily give it a shot - excuse the pun

Oh I know, mix it with the goose fat to spread on the potatoes. You could prepare it in advance. There are some threads here about how to preprepare potatoes in advance.

yes not for sharing

SLF - maybe your friend will unclench so much laughing at this thread birth will be a dawdle

There will be a thread on here tomorrow
'sil refused to share the brandy butter around. I know she is heavily pregnant but no excuse for being selfish'

Or one of those my friend's kids has nits type threads. "She served up the brandy butter and then she told me it had semen in it. Am I being unreasonable for objecting?"

What about using it in your Irish coffee as an alternative to cream?

LOL special recipe brandy butter, mmmm

oh god what a corking thread

just read bits to dp who predictably said "Is that TRUE? About the swallowing?"

I could see him filing it away for future reference

eugh floating on top of coffee all glauwpy

I wouldn't find it offensive. At all. And defintely way OTT to report her

And if I am reading the OP corretly I can't see where the MW has made any assumptions at all. She has simply made a suggestion.

Read the rest of the thread, hulababy.

Same here Franny, that's why I'm thinking treat it like a baby that doesn't like calpol, disguise it.
Couldn't bare to do it the proper way.

I love this thread spunk Irish coffee neighbours roasties it is a bleeding classic

SLF, don't peek at the conception threads...I mean there are all sorts of assumptions that women might like to go 'doggy' or check their own cervix in order to get pregnant...
