Went for a drink the other night with work colleagues, took DP, and one of my colleagues had his wife along who's a midwife. Any way, DP says he's nipping out for a smoke - and the midwife, with a big smug grin, says "oooh, I can't believe he smokes! His sperm will have been so damaged!" and proceeds to tell us how at risk my bump is of birth defects, because of all the mutations DP's sperm has accumulated. I don't get it, she knows I'm 23 weeks pg, she knows there's nothing we can do about it if this is the case, she's a bloody midwife FGS, so she should know better than to bring up scare stories for the sake of it, and she just looked so thrilled and triumphant to be telling us this! DP is now completely traumatised and expecting two headed, cloven hoofed baby. Poor thing, he tries and tries to stop, and he doesn't smoke in the house or near me. Just wanted to slap this silly cow.
