    BLOATING
    BACK PAIN
    SORE BREASTS
    MORNING SICKNESS/CONSTANT VOMITING
    CRAMPS
    STRETCH MARKS
    STITCHES
    SORE FANNY
    CRACKED NIPPLES
    THRUSH
    ENDURING A MISCARRIAGE
    BLEEDING FOR WEEKS AFTER GIVING BIRTH
    BREAST EXAMINATIONS
    PAP SMEARS


    THEN MENOPAUSE TO LOOK FORWARD TO.

    Mmm very funny and true. Although, men have a harder time than we give them credit for, poor loves Maybe we just cope better

    I know some men (well one in particular) who would say they suffer worse because they have to put up with a woman going through all that.

    Man flu!! Here's hoping DH doesn't get it this year.

    I like telling people our IVF story. DH tells people the 'horror' he went through to get his sperm (PESA)... to which I mutter (loudly & clearly) about all the procedures I've had & will have in the future... the general to get the eggs out (and associated pain), the general to have a polypectomy/hysteryoscopy (sp??) (and associated pain), the 3 embryo transfers (nothing like a room full of people staring at your pantless lady parts!), and all the bloody drugs (daily injections, and eww... the pessaries!). All he had was one day of pain! And there's still 4 straws of sperm on ice. When we go to have our second baby, I'll need a repeat of the above (hopefully minus the polypectomy!).

    Men will never get to give birth. Men breastfeeding is rare. Men don't get to be called "Mummy"/"Mamma".

    I think they have it worse.

    Yep I'd still rather be a woman!!! The bond between the mummy and her babies is somethign that a man will never get to feel and a lot of them would'nt feel the need either???
    Yes I am emotional, tempremental, passionate, talkative, moody, biatchy, sensitive etc, etc, etc and would love to give my DH a few weeks worth of being a woman at crtical times, like PMS, AF, MS, an hour or two in the evening late pregnancy when bubs is super active and HB is at its worst...a tiny taste of labour, a cureete, a pap smear, a day of BF about a week after birth, just when you think your nipples are about to fall off and look like they might. AND MORE..but only a taste!!! He can keep his manhood and all the things I see as YUCK about being one..
