'its as easy as shelling peas' you've all heard the saying about childbirth being as easy as shelling peas, well im actually shelling peas as i type here and all i can say is i take my hat off to anyone that has given birth because if its as boring as shelling peas you women are actually quite special.. my fingers are going numb to..do fingers go numb when you give birth? is it really that bad??
staggy (shelling peas)
mange tout for me next year!
tinned peas are so black country!
I've never had grey peas.
i've had loads of gray pays though.
Try adding some cheese to them when theyre done Staggy. Its an old Shropshire recipe - its cheese - its peas- its cheesy peas!
god ffs you have reminded me of my grandad who used to shell every fookin pea on his plate with a knife n fork, took ages to eat anything, stopped giving him them in the end.
he also used to mop his gravy up with cake :shock:
aaaah you shouldnt mock old country ways.........you know the saying " he who shuck every pea grows as strong as a tree" or was it buzzes like a bee ? Or summat
Well, you can get numb fingers if the epidural goes wrong. You can get spots in your body where you lose feeling altogether. Sometimes you get the feeling back, sometimes not. The anaesthetists warn you of that.
I don't think you can get green fingers (unless you have a fungal infection already) but you might get blue fingernails (lack of oxygen).
Childbirth is not easy. Mine took 30 hours. If I had a choice, I'd ask them to let me be pregnant forever! The gas was nice, though. When the canister worked...
If you get pregnant, opt for natural childbirth with no anaesthesia. Sure it hurts but you get to enjoy your baby straight away instead of drifting in and out of consciousness.
well my minds made up, from now on its mangetout and no child birth ever for me
