Re: Knit a Uterus ??? Something for someone who has (almost) everything!?!?

[Guest guest]

Sorry to rain on your knitted uterus, so to speak, but I've seen at

least one real-life application for such a thing (still cause of

great amusement). The doula who taught our childbirth preparation

class used a knitted uterus with a doll inside to model cervical

dilation and birth of baby. It was pretty goofy, but knitted uteri

are apparently tools of the trade.

ran into this free knitting pattern for a UTERUS.

Call me crazy but what a wonderful idea!!! When I was pregnant and

in bed most of the time I used all sorts of methods to focus on my

baby and my strong uterus that was going to carry her to term! I

painted pictures, drew, wrote. Never thought of knitting! I believe

in the mind body connection - I could've knitted the womb I wished I

had! I may knit one anyway to help me focus on being fertile again

(not that my 7 month old gives me much time) and who knows maybe I'll

knit my fibroids and pull them out myself . I just may go pick out

my wool tomorrow - I'll send a picture of it when I'm done, though

that will probably be in a couple of years I'm a little slow

finishing projects. But I enjoy knitting and putting loving thoughts

with every stitch to the person its for and my knit uterus will be

for my next baby!

Thanks for posting such an unique idea!
