Did you know that BJs could help prevent pre-eclampsia?

Will find the link as soon as I can (browser crashed before I could save) but there is some good evidence to suggest that regular sex with the baby's father, particularly oral sex (if you swallow) can help introduce pathogens (I think that's what they are) that prevent the mother's immune system attacking their presence with its auto immune response and that this is connected to pre eclampsia.

I suggest you keep this to yourselves though or you may regret it !

Ha ha ha ha, definitely keeping that one to myself!!

Besides, we're already suffering with pregnancy, why should we suffer anymore?!

It has to be a male researcher.

also keeps your skin clear, helps you lose weight and makes your hair glossy (heard 'em all, me)

i bet you found this in NUTS magazine

That might explain why I developed pre eclampsia then! Definitely a man made suggestion!

maybe BJs prevent pre-eclampsia, but they do very little for morning sickness

They're not as bad for your back...

OrmIrian · 19/03/2009 14:52

Yeah, and it's really good for the skin too. And did you hear the one about how it brings on labour....

Low dose aspirin is also reported to have a similar effect - and much more palatable .

I'm mainlining so much revolting gunky liquid Gaviscon Advance at the moment, it feels like I'm giving about 10 bj's every day as it is!

DH's liquids on top of that would just be too much to bear!
