[quote=Anonymous]I am very shy and hate being touched (or even noticed by) strangers. Hate getting my hair cut because it feels like an invasion of privacy. So I hear you. But there is something about late pregnancy and labor where your body stops being your normal body. Your belly is a life of its own, and it sort of takes over your body. I was in a birth center, not a hospital, so I labored in my street clothes for a long time, then when I wanted to get into the tub I just stripped off and did it, and never again, not once, thought about my body. Gave birth in the buff, nursed in the buff after birth, etc. About two hours after I gave birth the self consciousness came flooding back, and I refused help in the shower, cleaned up my own bloody mess in the bathroom because I was too embarrassed and proud to ask someone to clean up after me. My advice? Take the help! And don't worry about labor. Something primal really does kick in.[/quote]
