Questions about taking your rectal temperature

At home, I was over my mom

Or dads lap. At doctor, face down

On exam table

#1+2: B

As far back as I can remember, Mom and Aunt Rachel always took our temps rectally, usually laying on our beds in Simms position. However, we started each enema session with r/t, done as we knelt with our chests over the bathtub side. We started with a vaselined finger being inserted deep to lube us, followed by the rectal thermometer (held for 4 minutes), then, the thermometer was replaced with our enema nozzles (which were the douche nozzle). In the doctor's office, we were given the rectal thermometer in Simms on her table. We got r/t's until we were 10, then She switched to oral. Today, I always ask my family physician's PA to take my temp rectally. She smiles knowingly and eases the probe up my derriere.

Question #1- Sometimes over mom's lap, but mostly over or in bed.

Question #2- Bent over the exam table in the doctor's office as a young girl. in the hospital, in bed, bottoms up.

I would lay on my stomach on the bed when it was taken. This was a home and most times at the hospital. On occasion, my nurse took it with my on my side, "Simms" position with the thermometer inserted.

A for 1 & B for 2

#1 B and #2 I have never tried that. Sadly.

B for #1, never experienced #2 so can't answer that.

B and B

A ab B respectively .

My answer would be "B" for both. I was always laying on my belly on a bed or exam table when my rectal temperature was taken. I never recall being over someone's lap for that procedure.

I never had it taken by a nurse. But my mom used to make me lay on the bed. She was a doctor and believed that laxatives were harsh on your stomach. It was very embarrassing, because she did it even in my late teens. I grew up in rural India (Wendell Gardner is not my real name) and corporal punishment was still in vogue. I am grateful though that she did not believe in spanking.

At home, I lay face down on the bed. At the doctors office a lay face down on the exam table.

At doctors office on the table. At home both depended on age and if i was being uncooperative or not.

At home, by my Mother, face down on my bed or the couch. In a medical setting the majority found me face down on the exam table, though on an occasion or two on my side. One time in a clinic, I was bent over the end of an exam table by the nurse (I'd asked for a rectal-she was OK with that), my pants and briefs lowered and the thermometer inserted.
