HELP! Come and have a giggle and then tell me it'll come out the other end ...

dd2 has just swallowed the littlest one of these. They are chrome-covered zinc -- should I worry about it or just let nature take its course ...

what is it ?
im not sure to be honest

Weigh him

Twims, I have weighed her and she's definitely 5g heavier

I've spoken to our doctor. She's pretty confident it will come out the usual way.

She says, btw, that the only thing they really worry about now are batteries.

I swallowed a round curtain hook when I was a child. I remember my mum checking my poo with a spoon in a potty after every "motion". It did come out in the end but seemed to take ages from memory - and it was very rusty so I don't expect it'll be shiny when it emerges, chrome or not! Personally I wouldn't worry! It's generally only a problem if it's got hooks or batteries as doc says...

snackattack! at least this is smooth and pebble-shaped, so perfectly designed to navigate the intestine I would imagine

just think, when it comes out you could have it re-polished and made into a necklace for her to treasure ...

Hey this has reminded me about documentary saw ages ago about those magnetix toys. Apparently loads of kids have been hsopitalised (one fatality) after swallowing bits of them. If you swallow more than one they magnetically attract each other and do no end of bother to your guts. Little pre- Christmas doom warning !

redhot, glad to say dcs are not getting magnetix for Christmas ...
