Amusing things said at my OB appointment today

[geminigirl]

When I said that I felt fantastic, both Maggie and the doctor looked at me and asked how. And I said "I'm 33 weeks pregnant...I have back pain and heartburn. Find me another woman in the third trimester who doesn't?"

Other things...

"The way you got that baby in there is the way you'll get that baby out." This is meant to encourage us to have lots and lots of sex from now until the end of pregnancy, to get the cervix nice and soft and ripe-prostaglandins in semen help get the cervix ready for labor.

"Seduction before induction." I don't think this requires much more explanation.

I pointed out that my dear spouse doesn't have time for sex right now (they're in a crunch from now until just about my due date)...they suggested making sure that he finds time. Hee.

coolness! I'd never heard of the 'lots and lots of sex when you want the baby out'

Prostaglandins and oxytocin. We've pretty much been given instructions to get busy a lot starting at about 37 weeks, just to make sure it's not the night before my OB appointments.

Hmm. If your doctor writes out a prescription for sex, can Cayne use that to request FMLA time?
