To talk about checking my cervix while dh is eating his lunch?

Earlier we talked about me checking my cervix to see if it's near the front and soft. I'm getting a sweep on Friday and I was wondering if I could feel it? I felt it after I had a sweep with my dd. Anyway we talked about it but didn't finish the conversation.

So he's eating a sandwich for lunch and I say "So do you think I should check my cervix?" He acts like a drama queen and spits a mouthful of sandwich out on the plate. He said "I can't believe you said that, I'm eating my lunch." I said "What, it's not disgusting. Sorry, I didn't think you'd mind." He's taken his sandwich upstairs in a huff but not before he told me how unbearable I am to live with at the moment.

I'm wondering if he's being a drama queen, or are my hormones getting in the way. Should I go say sorry?

YANBU what definitly a drama queen. I read the OP too fast first time and thought you were actually checking your cervix while he was eating. Which might be a bit much. He is obviously a very fragile soul. How will he cope with the birth.

I agree with moondog. YABU.

I would not want to discuss anyone's cervix at anytime to be honest.
Your cervix has a mind of its own. Nothing you can saY makes a difference and yes, it is a little bit yuck

This could be my dh.
Whenever I bring up something vaguely "female" eg "I've got awful period pains" I get "ooh, too much information".
Mind you, it gets me out of lots of late night jiggery-pokery by dropping into conversation copious discharges and itchy thrush.
I wonder how he would cope if he had to have an unpleasant invasive medical procedure!!

Cevix talk at the dinner table? Have to say would make me push my plate away.

mayorquimby · 21/08/2009 11:14

exactly.would all you women who are jeering this "precious little soul" etc be happy with the idea of her dh discussing his itchy helmet/sweaty balls/odd smelling cum/ dick cheese/ bowel movement problems while she was sitting there eating her lunch. i mean after all they're just natural things which can occur in the body.

btw as i said before i think his reaction was ott with the storm out. but really the op was unreasonable for bringing it up when someone is eating.

GrendelsMum · 21/08/2009 11:19

But all she said was "shall I check my cervix?". I don't think that's the same at all as actively discussing dick cheese. But having said that, if my DH said to me "shall I check my penis?" over supper, I can't see I'd be put off my food in the least. If I didn't want to talk about it, I certainly wouldn't spit my food out, I'd just say "can we discuss that after supper?" I think that spitting food out and insisting on eating food upstairs is really just immature, rude behaviour.

Yes he is being an idiot as you were talking about your body in a medical way about something that is going to happen to it. Would he of reacted the same if you had acted all sultry and gone all porn star on him inviting him to 'rub your fanjo' in a sexual way ? No I'm assuming he would of been there like a shot and ditched the sandwich

I think men and Fanjo's.. sexual talk fine, factual, medical makes them cringe

It's not really dinner time conversation is it? Why would you expect him to have the first idea whether you should check it or not? Sounds like a conversation you have with your midwife not your husband.
I'm not squeamish but wouldn't bring up bodily functions/ genitalia etc whilst eating. Sounds a bit thoughtless.

Don't think I'd be best pleased if someone started on about their cervix while I was eating, in all fairness.

Agree that maybe he was OTT with the storm t out, but maybe he wanted to eat without mental images of you feeling about inside yourself!
