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?

woof woof

Or following on with the calpol, put in a syringe, pinch your nose and take it down in one.

Just read rest of thread now - LOL!

awww dont look at the mantle piece when yer pokin the fire- even if yer doggie stylie

Pmsl scottish mummy

Hercules1 at "take it down in one"...how dare you assume that I could take it in one!

Don't know if anyone has already said this but apparently prostaglandins work better if they are absorbed through the stomach wall. At least that's what I read on t'internet when trying to make dd2 arrive. I didn't want it that much though

hmmm, you know those stories you always heard when you were at school about the local indian restuarant having erm 'special ingredients' in the curry from the young men that worked there.........

poppadoms, saag aloo, and emmmmmmmmmmmmm sauce

I'm 40+1 today. I don't giving BJs (not my bag, baby) but it certainly wouldn't have occurred to me to complain that my MW made this suggestion.
However (TMI alert here)... my DH made me chocolate milkshake saturday night... with an extra ingredient. Only he didn't tell me, until I started drinking it! To be honest, couldn't taste anything odd. I only noticed there was something not quite right when I saw something a wee bit stringy in the beaker...
I drank the whole lot.. but it hasn't worked!
Oh, and if you do the hubby sweep to be effective it has to be every 4 hours, don't think I could take that!

So I have grossed you all out yet???

That is so funny!

In the milkshake!!!

Yep, you got me with "stringy".

PMSL - imagine OP's mate's reaction she'll probably faint!

IM Squawking at stringy are we talkin KFC stringy

LMFAO, even DP said eughhhhhhhhh at that!

Oh, God I've just remembered an awful thing a male flatmate did to someone who kept pinching his butter out of the fridge in halls of residence...

Let's just say if she was pg, she may have gone into labour after eating it

Problem is semen doesn't really dissolve in chocolate milkshake... trick is to take really big swallows!

That honestly make me sick slightly in my throat

I am never going to be able to have a chocolate milkshake again without imagining I am swallowing a shed load of sperm!

not in same league but i had a flat mate always stole my milk so i put Vinegar in it...lordy wretching for a long time. ...and he didn't touch my milk for long time either

HoHum guilt free me

sex is what gets the baby in there, sex can hel p to get it out... so why on earth is that inapporpriate? she wasn;t insisting that your friend do it in the clinic..just a helpful suggestion

goodness me.

report her? no way !! hardly a breach of anything to give advice on a method of helping labour get going... that is her job

I'd like to see the look on the face of whoever it would be reported to when they recieve the letter

Desparate times calls for desparate meeasures!
Still gutted it didn't work. TBH not planning on trying it again!

DId she offer to do the deed for her? That would be beyond the call of duty!

She didn't tell your friend to bob off into the antenatal clinic and offer her deep throat action to the first chap she met, did she?
