[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I'm pregnant for the third time and right there with you. I TOTALLY care about being naked and splayed open! And yes, even after the pain started.

Here's what I've done and will do again:

1. I sleep naked sometimes, or just in panties. Just to kind of ... get comfortable with being naked. 
2. My husband knows he is to stay near my head. 
3. My midwife and the doula are the only two people looking between my legs. Nobody else comes in, unless there's some sort of issue too big for them to handle.

We've done it this way twice and it's worked out just fine. Except that last time after DD's head was out the midwife said "Hey DH, want to deliver your baby?" and he reached over, pulled her the rest of the way out and saw my vagina. Which did not thrill me, but he's never mentioned anything about that specifically, and we're pregnant again so clearly he's not too grossed out to have sex with me. :) [/quote]

It's one thing to be nervous about being naked in front of people...but you have to practice being naked on your own? Are you a nevernude?[/quote]
