We dudes are such chickens when it comes to pain and icky things. In our family we have taken a wow to leave no surprises to our children. I am making sure my son knows facts of life, as and when he gets curious, and ditto with my little daughter. Hopefully she won't be surprised when she endures these insults.

Does it ever get easy for us? 328560@desicritics.org Wed, 9 Apr 2008 00:15:14 EDT http://desicritics.org/2008/04/07/115543.php#comment-328545 why oh why do they keep those damn speculums (is that really the plural of speculum?) so FRIGGING COLD? Can they not be sterile AND warm? and can they not do it without using what feels like a toilet brush to complete the transaction? the only thing worse? an internal exam at 38 weeks pregnant. holy mother of god, that hurts. only time I cried. Nearly kicked the !#(&!(# out of the OB! 328545@desicritics.org Tue, 8 Apr 2008 20:12:53 EDT http://desicritics.org/2008/04/07/115543.php#comment-328521 Pap smears - UGH! I still remember the nurse blithely telling me, "just close your eyes and pretend you are lying on a beach somewhere" moments before sliding a cold thingummybob in me. *shudder* 328521@desicritics.org Tue, 8 Apr 2008 14:57:40 EDT http://desicritics.org/2008/04/07/115543.php#comment-328415 Adi, I can never get used to the Paps!! The stuff we go through in the name of good health;) 328415@desicritics.org Tue, 8 Apr 2008 02:46:30 EDT http://desicritics.org/2008/04/07/115543.php#comment-328406 Good god those Pap smears! Arghh. I (should) know how things work and am still surprised when I get the diagnosis. I guess the surprise factor adheres to the real life experience and didactic theory dissolves into excruciating oblivion once that darned speculum makes its entry. :( Nice one Dee. 328406@desicritics.org Tue, 8 Apr 2008 01:10:54 EDT http://desicritics.org/2008/04/07/115543.php#comment-328399 Lol, no pain, no gain;) 328399@desicritics.org Tue, 8 Apr 2008 00:20:08 EDT http://desicritics.org/2008/04/07/115543.php#comment-328353 erghhhhhhhh (me pushing baby out). 328353@desicritics.org Mon, 7 Apr 2008 13:33:15 EDT
