OK well I was here for an extended stay. To be honest, I don’t remember even arriving LOL or how I got there (white light?) but I did enjoy myself. The first few months were amazing, the fitness center did wonders for my bod. The food was processed-fixed menu-but good. I gained 7lbs during my visit. Expect to have a roommate. Mine was off the chain (SHOUT OUT TO MY FALLEN HOMIE, PLACENTA, I MISS YOU, ESE).
My host was nice. Complainy and rather sedentary but overall very nice. She cried a lot which was awkward for everyone. Leg room was an issue toward the end as I was practically kissing my knees but whatever. The Womb was a little short staffed…I only heard one other employee’s voice consistently. From their exchanges, I think he may have been the host’s slave or unpaid indentured servant. Hope he’s alright. I think she broke his spirit.
I loved it so much I overstayed my reservation by two weeks. I’d definitely return if given the chance.
Check-out was a mess.

Dead. This is the best ever and I’ll never think of being pregnant the same way again.

Do you ever wish you could go back?

Just BRILLIANT!! “Check out” and the “shout-out to placenta” were priceless. Love starting out my day with an LMAO. Thank you, HT! You’re amazing.

Great review, HT! Can’t wait to hear what you think of ‘The Co-sleeper’ and ‘The Crib.’ We booked extended stays at both for our little one but she’s been very displeased. For one, the ambient sounds we’ve had piped in are too ‘artificial’ sounding …amongst other inadequacies… There’s a strict no refunds policy so I’m hoping we can work something out.

I agree with Amelia. A review of the co-sleeper, and crib would be very useful. Also how about a daycare review? I understand that you operate from your home, but perhaps a colleague in anonymous toddler league (hope I am getting the name right…please forgive me) has some experience he or she can share?

HT – please please please a review of your crib and/or co-sleeping would be fab.

Oh my word, peeing mis pantalones. This blog is I believe the only blog in the universe I subscribe to and seriously just kills me. I had to sit in a doctor’s waiting room a couple weeks ago for an hour and at times I had to put a hand over my mouth to stop from laughing outloud like an idiot.

[...] Less than a month left! Hopefully. I’m starting to get the creeping feeling that I’ve got a slacker in my tummy that’s just having too much of an enjoyable time and will probably delay her ‘check-out’. (For a more detailed humorous review of The Womb click here). [...]
