[quote=Anonymous]I really, really need those of you explaining your personal experience as universal to stop.

You may have been amazed by how much you did not care about modesty during birth. This is not how everyone feels.

You may have ripped off your clothes, become very bold, not cared how many people were in the room, not cared about whether people present were men or women, etc. This is not how everyone feels.

Many people on this thread have explained that they felt humiliated and uncomfortable during birth, especially when modesty was not respected. I am one of them. It's not weird or unusual -- many women feel this way.

Please stop telling people "oh you won't care" or acting like women who do care are weird outliers just because that wasn't your personal experience. There's no "normal" and "abnormal" when it comes to how women feel about their own birth experiences. It's all valid.

Stop telling women how to feel, invalidating the feelings they express, predicting how they will feel, etc. You don't know. All you know is how you feel.[/quote]
