These 2 things should be made law in pregnancy......Both are impossible but THEY SHOULD BE LAW ANYWAY!!!!

[LadyTophamHatt]

1. only first time mothers should have restless nights for the sake of pratice when the baby arrives. If you alrady have children you don't need to practice at having restless sleepless night because you've done it for real. An addition to this could be all PG mothers HAVE to have 9 hours uninterupted sleep per night.

2)ALL expectant fathers have to experience 10 days of late preganacy, anytime from 8 months onwards. Not with a suit they wear, taht can be taken off. I mean be really properly PG, with the kicks, the ache and pains, everything.

If I was God i'd make these things LAW so there.

(sorry, I'm moaning again...just humour/ignore me)

oh yes, please make that law, you'll have my vote!!
(am 38 weeks pg too, so I'm totally living the moment!)

lady topham hatt. yet to be pregnant myself but i'd like to table an amendment that all dads to be have to take a tablet that gives pmt symptoms, and secondly that they have enforced sleep deprivation and are banned from saying 'you woke me up getting up to go to the toilet in the night' .

Ohhh good one FotS.

Make it 3 laws

3)All men Have to have PMT and periods for one whole year!

Did anyone hear the Jeremy Vine discussion today about men who leave their heavily pregnant wives because they can't cope with the prospect of fatherhood? Or because they thought their wives behaved erractically when pregnant? One actually left his wife whilst she was in labour.

I don't mean to tar all men with one brush, I know there are plenty of fabulous, supportive dads out there who do loads but still, the few do make me fume.

and they're only allowed to use bulky nighttime towels. no tampax (not thinking about how and where specifically = just wishful thinking :-) )

ps thanks for making me smile. am really down today and your title made me grin

And they should be pestered for sex when they've had hardly any sleep for a week and have just, finally, crawled into bed for a couple of hours of oblivion!

when me and dh got married, we had marriage classes, and the poor vicar had just come from counselling a parishioner who'd left his wife. they'd had a little girl, he'd realised he never wanted kids, but never told wife. second one was conceived and he still didn't say anything.. until she'd given birth and he walked out! i mean, married - have sex - plan a baby - have baby - and then again ! what a git

they should have to take a hpt every day of the month and they should all be negative. (brains to be modified so they do the test wanting to get a bfp .. but it never happens)

.. ponders.. am i cruel?

ooh another.. and just when they're told about a party or event involving alcohol and they really want to go, we get to say.. should you be having any alcohol? it might ruin your ttc chances / harm the unborn baby / affect your breastfeeding

you can tell dh is in the doghouse today can't you

how about the darling partner has to come out of hiding and actually support me through the pregnancy?? that'd be my law. no absconding men going off to 'sort their heads out'.

satine and femaleofthespecies.. re your stories of absconding men, nothing surprises me anymore! men just have a different reality from women. i honestly don't think they have a clue what pg means. bless their cotton socks.

blimey rainbowgirl - thats tough. i blame the mothers. if i have a son he'll never treat a woman like that

absolutely my opinion!

my LO is a boy and i'm going to make damn sure that he knows how to treat women!

dp's mother is a witch, no joke.

At this present moment in time I@d also like to make DH give birth to an 11ib baby without and pain relief.

Just for the hell of it and because he's really fucking me off right now.

my dh's mum is a bitch from hell and his bro is a horrible man but my dh is usually lovely. he is just too laid back sometimes lol

am lucky

how she brought up a lovely man like dh i dont know. cow!

doesnt mean i dont want him to experience some things we have to suffer though :-)

I'd take ur bump for a day if i could LTH.

What u have to do is kick your DH everytime the baby kicks you in the night purely for practise of course ;)
