[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The Salvation Army Band could've paraded through the room while I pooped during delivery, and I wouldn't have cared. I promise. [/quote]

I definitely cared when I got out of bed the first time after giving birth, and there was a big pile of crap right on the bed. I didn't even knew that I'd pooped myself. The nurse just grabbed the sheets into a ball and threw them in the huge biohazard bin. I asked her if she could flush it first, and she didn't act like it was a big deal. Then I fainted on the toilet and they had to bring me back with smelling salts. They just wanted to get me back in a wheelchair, and I was begging to wipe my behind. They finally agreed and storm next to me holding me up. Then I got poop on my hand. I was mortified. They couldn't have cared less. 
You also talked about pain, but if you are going to get the epi, you can get it whenever you want. I had zero pain with my first. I got the epidural early since I knew shift change was coming, and I didn't want the pain to start and have to wait in agony. I didn't feel anything at all. Your husband will also be asked to hold a leg. There's just one nurse and a doctor. Everyone is cheering for you, and it's hard work. I am the it's modest person in the world, and I didn't care at all about who saw what when I was pushing (and it took 4 hours). [/quote]

Omg I love y and the post!  I too shut ALL over the delivery table and had NO idea. My Dah informed me after when I proudly confirmed that I had not popped and he just smiled lol.  I th get the nurse was just wiping the blood but apparently it was my shit.  Thank you for Rio Grande!!!

But honestly I was in so much pain I did not give a rats ass![/quote]
