Pregnant? - speechless!

[T00ts]

Just looked again at the thread title: Pregnant? — Speechless!

And I recalled that Mrs P was far from Speechless while Pregnant!

Like a dutiful expectant father, I was administering to her every whim. But she moaned increasingly as the weeks passed, and became more and more demanding — though to be fair, she was carrying twins...

Poor lass - she has my sympathy. Carrying two is some feat.

How could I possibly doubt that?

Really? I didn't think nurses were given such freedom.

No, but my wife did ask the nurse if she asked that question. She said it was down to the judgement of the individual nurse.

So they didn't ask if she might be pregnant? I thought all medics made that pretty much their first question of any woman.

Because stupid questions need answering with contempt or not answering at all . Honestly Posty ,I will never nor never have answered any question correctly on a form that asks anything about religion , sexual preferences ,race ,ethnicticity  or if I speak musili as a second language

Not many years back and providing a service to the local council I received a card one christmas with winterval greetings in practically every language known to man,english came last.

I mentioned this to my wife the other day as she was booked in to give blood and she couldn't find this question on the form so maybe it's a local council thing and not an NHS issue.

Gosh - silly woman and poor kids.

Ahhh! Don't worry a woman over 60 becomes invisible.

Cruel, but true

Perhaps, when the nurses see you standing in front of them today, they don't feel it likely that the old ones are the best...

When I see the box marked Sex I always write Yes Please because the old ones are the best.

That said, it could be that the nurses may have heard it before because they don't laugh as much as when I was 18

Ah, memories ...

While freelancing in London the vagaries of my clients opening hours versus the metropolitan line train and tube timings often meant I would be standing on Finsbury Pavement or some such with sod all to do for 10 min unlike the rest of my fellow commuters who always seemed in a permanent frenzy.

I would often take pity on whoever was standing by the tube station looking miserably for someone to ask about some survey or market research or the like. In those days they rarely asked for details beyond an address and I'd say the b&b I was in ... So never any junk mail etc ..

It was one such individual who had the unenviable job of putting to me, on behalf of channel 4, a whole series of strange questions. The individual recognised me and I recognised her from previous encounters seeking opinions on far more mundane matters so there was no question in my mind she was genuine 

One of the opening questions was "had I ever paid for sex" and you could see it was a matter she was less than comfortable asking mostly total strangers at 8:15 on a rainy Tuesday outside a Central London Tube.

I replied that to be honest, until the age of 24 I had not, but then I got married and the demands placed upon my wallet thereafter had been quite excessive.
