more cervical ripening discussion

Miss Shigatsu: so what's with cervical whatever?
rhapsodie: my friend had labor induced this weekend

Miss Shigatsu: i see.
Miss Shigatsu: that's what i thought it was about.
rhapsodie: the docs gave her some gel for 'cervical ripening'
rhapsodie: its a great phrase when taken out of context
Miss Shigatsu: :)
Miss Shigatsu: it makes me feel dirty.
Miss Shigatsu: and not in a good way.
rhapsodie: lol
rhapsodie: its better than saying its to make your cervix 'loose and floppy-moppy'
rhapsodie: yech
Miss Shigatsu: lol yeah, but that's just silly. "cervical ripening" is... invasive.
rhapsodie: like theres going to be a harvesting soon
rhapsodie: a plucking
Miss Shigatsu: makes me think of laying on a table, with my feet in the air, and strangers between my legs.
Miss Shigatsu: poking around inside me.
Miss Shigatsu: with a laser.
rhapsodie: so... like anything remotely gynecological
Miss Shigatsu: no, cause i don't mind the visits. it's the thought of surgery that bugs me.
Miss Shigatsu: not just one person, who i kindof know, but multiple people that i've never met before.
rhapsodie: and students whove never seen a girl 'down there,' yet need to learn
rhapsodie: im glad i havent had any 'girly' surgery
rhapsodie: but whats worse about giving birth is how you empty your bladder and bowels right there on the table in front of 30 strangers
Miss Shigatsu: eww... no thanks.
rhapsodie: just about every woman does
rhapsodie: im demanding a trip to the bathroom
Miss Shigatsu: *nod*
rhapsodie: my luck, the baby will be born in the toilet
Miss Shigatsu: lol
rhapsodie: better than having some intern note the color of my poo
