Did he just compare me to a steak?
I had, without a doubt, one of the most entertaining doctors visits last night. There are 4 doctors at my practice and this is maybe the 3rd time I have seen this particular one. This is about how it went:
Dr: So you know the best way to naturally induce labor, right?
Me: Ummmm...take a long walk?
Dr: Yeah, only if you're walking somewhere where you can have sex.
Me: uh, ok. I read some studies that dispute whether that works or not.
Dr: It doesn't always work, but that's because most people don't do it right. You have to ENJOY it.
Me: ooooh, that must be where i'm going wrong
Dr: You know when you go to the grocery store and buy a steak, and the cut is maybe kind of tough. What do you do with it when you get home? You take that meat mallet and you POUND IT until it's ready.
Me: Did you just compare me to a steak?
Dr: The act of pounding the cervix can help prepare it for labor, that's all i'm saying.
Me: So i'm the steak?
DH: this is awesome.
He did go on and on about how he thinks sex really can help and if I didn't feel like having sex I should stand in the shower and stimulate my nipples (or have DH help...wink wink). Luckily i'm pretty easy going, otherwise this guy would have seriously freaked me out.

Is he a cute doctor?? haha
Sounds like maybe he needs to get some-he must have it on the brain.
hahahaha
Nothing I like better then a doc with a sense of humor.

I would have lost it and busted out laughing at this! Sorry, but if we did things that rough, I'd need the epidural before I went into labor. Rather funny to hear that from an OB though!
That is freaking hilarious.
I thought he was going to say that you need to enjoy it, meaning you need to orgasm, since that produces oxytocin, which in turn stimulates labor (pitocin is the synthetic form of oxytocin).
Ha. I was thinking the same thing. And now, I will never be able to pound my chicken or steak without thinking about my cervix. LOL.
