Well I know what Iāll be making this afternoon.
I might make this my Christmas gift to my coworkers this year. I usually make nommy things, but this is just our brand of cynical.

Caveat slash education slash whatever
I know lots of people who have had contraception fail through NO fault of their own. IUD failures, no education about the risk of antibiotics and hormonal BC, etc. So to be clear while this is funny itās really NOT accurate to assume if someone has had a BC failure that it was a direct action failure.

Yeah, I really feel like the sign would be just as funny and more accurate if it specified condoms haha.
And yeahhhhh really makes you realize why STI rates are the way they are on college campuses and in nursing homes

ETA that belgium does expect santa to social distance and mask. I assume that he is double masking with N95 and will change the surgical mask properly between houses

I almost had a hysteroscopy last month but went straight to the next step, almost entirely because it did not sound as fun on the patient side as it would have been on the scope side, even though they said I could have a screen to watch.
Well ok mostly because I didnt want to pay for two procedures. But it didnāt sound pleasant.

Lmao reminds me of when my dad was horrified that I didnāt know how dilated I was during every step of labor when I was talking to him and my mom about it because āyou can just have them checkā. And then he told me how it doesnāt actually hurt. I asked him when the last time was that he had his cervix checked 
The look on my momās face was priceless during this exchange. They clearly remember her 3 labors very differently.

Oh nooooooo.
I tell all my shopping-for-OB friends to pick one with small hands, for this reason. I did not know beforehand how bad the checks would be.

Iāve had cameras go at least a foot deep into most of my holes. The nasal swab doesnāt bother me at all.

Oooh thatās not something I wouldāve thought of! My midwives did mine during labour, but I also donāt remember them hurting /in comparison to other pain at the time/. But the one cervical check I had in early pregnancy was baaaaaaad.
At least this has made me feel like a COVID test could be NBD.

My experience (only three COVID tests, I know others have had more) is that itās uncomfortable but fine if you donāt have a severe sinus infection. Severe sinus infection + prodding = paaaain.
