My favorite line:
"It's about "getting pregnant in style," said Judy Randall, president of Randall Travel Marketing in North Carolina. "It's Gen Xers making a big moment out of creating their offspring and doing it in a way that will be memorable."

LOL, does pregnancy have to be "in style", now?

This all seems rather silly, although I bet it would be fun. But should people who are planning on having a child that they will have to clothe, feed, shelter, and hopefully one day educate really be spending thousands of dollars having extra super-duper fun while getting there?

This is more of a fun thing than a straight-up fertility treatment, but what are your general opinions about such treatments? We can discuss anything from herbal supplements to in vitro fertilization to surrogate mothers. Is there a point at which a childless couple should stop spending wads of cash trying to have a child who is biologically theirs and look into adoption or other options?

Making your conception memorable? Holy fuck someone is lousy in bed!

That is absurd. There are millions of children that need a good home to go to, millions of children that can be adopted. Spend your money on helping them, rather than on a stupid vacation to get pregnant.

There, there. It takes time and practice to be good at things, generally. No worries, mate. :)

Oh deary, deary me...

As for fertility treatments, I don't much care, but I don't feel they should be provided by the National Health Service. Two reasons:
1) The NHS is there to make people healthy when they're ill. It shouldn't be wasting thousands of pounds to get someone knocked up, it should be spending it on curing sick people and preventing people becoming sick.
2) Isn't 60,000,000 people in this country enough? Besides, there are plenty of kids needing decent homes; adopt one of them.

I wonder how many of these dorks have their "memorable fling" videoed too.... you know, so that they can scar little Johnny (or Suzie) for life when they go digging through their parents closets later on in life....





Sheesh, doesn't anyone just bend their partner over a pool table and have at them anymore?

I dont think I have ever used a hotel room and not had sex.

Next, they'll have a coach in the room to tell you how to do it.

The economy is great when we have people finding creatve ways to piss away their cash.

"Look, Johnnie- here is Mommy presenting.... Oh and Daddy mounts her right away- he isnt wasting any time.!"

Sigged! :D

Oh, but just think of the possibilities for embarrassing photographs and videos when the results of the spa stay are about 14 or 15 ... "And here's your Dad and me, right after you were conceived, Britney." "Muuuu-THER!"

LOT

Some day you can tell your kid that they were concieved in a Jacuzzi full of jello

I have the sleeping bag that my first was concieved on, I have just about no coherent memory of concieving the second, I remember when I turned up pregnant.....if she ever asks, I remember what state we lived in.

It's true that things get forgotten and stuff with the second child. :( poor kid.

Getting pregnant in style could mean not having sex in the first place!:eek: I mean hpow many people could claim that..it could lead to an awkward parent child relationship....

Kid: Who's my father?
Mother: "I am"
Kid: "But you're my mother!"
Mother: "And father...
Kid: Butbutbut......:eek:

I read a piece by Neil Gaiman earlier that was something along these lines, only it was a woman who had a sex change because her son "needed a father." hehe

That is absurd. There are millions of children that need a good home to go to, millions of children that can be adopted. Spend your money on helping them, rather than on a stupid vacation to get pregnant.

This is pretty much how I feel about any expensive measures taken to conceive. I want to conceive and have a child as much as anyone, but I wouldn't be willing to spend thousands (maybe hundreds of thousands) of dollars to do so when that money could be better spent paying for college for an adopted child, or something along those lines.
