This month, I have a whole new Aid to Conception. Its aim is to banish obstructive thoughts I have about my body not being good enough to grow a baby in. This is not, I hasten to add, the result of a perenially battered self esteem or anything dark like that. It's just a general feeling of disbelief about the whole reproductive process, probably stemming from the fact that I was never much into science at school, and found fairy stories far easier to believe in than sperm-meets-egg or everything-is-made-up-of-atoms stories.
Anyway, my new investment - along with ovulation tests, thermometers and hardback baby-making manuals that seem mostly to tell me to eat a lot of broccoli - is a CD for self-hypnosis. No laughing or eye-rolling, please. It states very clearly on the packet that 'More than half of all women using this CD have become pregnant.' So there. All I need to do is lie back, listen to the CD and find myself with child, a la our dear friend the Virgin Mary.

Er - is that all you have to do, Sarah? Listen to the CD, I mean? Isn't there the small matter of sexual intercourse too? Presumably the latter is how the other half of the women got pregnant.
ReplyDeleteI think that's all you have to do, yes. Which is just as well, as my mum reads this blog.

ReplyDeleteOh, bugger - you can get self-hypnosis CDs?? SH diet tapes used to work brilliantly for me, so maybe conception ones would've. Hey ho . . .
