Stupid website

[KittyAnne]

This pregnancy website thinks grown women, who have managed to conceive a child, need to prepare themselves before sticking a finger up their noo.

"prepare yourself mentally for sticking your thumbs inside your vagina. Sorry? Yes, I'm afraid that's right, in order to effectively massage your perineal tissues you'll need to be ready to get stuck in there."

Really??!

It's not dirty you know..

Bloody hell! How did these women ever get pregnant in the first place? A thumb is hardly a penis. I wonder what they would make of non-applicator tampons, or, heaven forbid, a mooncup? If they came on this website and found out that half of the conception board was rummaging around up there on a daily basis and comparing their findings they would probably have a heart attack!

I thought it was quite tongue in cheek. And people are not always so keen in doing this sort of thing and may very well need to prepare themselves!

How would one prepare anyway?

Stiff drink or nine ?

Whispering romantic words?

Quick boob grope?

Reassuring self that it may be uncomfortable but won't hurt (first smear, in case you were wondering... )

Put on adult sized, nay, maternity sized scouts outfit? Well, their motto is be prepared, isn't it?

Who can reach anyway?

Once when discussing contraceptive options at FPC, the nurse bought up diaphragms and said 'would you feel comfortable touching your own vagina?'

Why wouldn't I?! Was tempted to tell her I'd feel less comfortable touching somebody else's!

I would have given this a real go with DC1 but I simply could not reach - bump too big!!!!

Good point. I can't get near mine either. In fact, if something falls on the floor then it stays there.

Cant reach either, brought special oil too but was a real elbow licking moment

It sounds like they are trying to describe perineal massage, but doing a rubbish job of it. www.naturalchildbirth.co.uk/perineal.shtml
