[quote=Anonymous]Ha, I totally relate to the poster who said that after 4 years of infertility, she could cook a dinner with her legs in stirrups. :)  So many different people stuck ultrasound wands in my vagina that by the time I was actually pregnant I had ZERO modesty left when it came to medical professionals.  I was a pretty modest person before that, and still am in other ways - I won't even get changed in front of my own mother or sister.

I ended up having an emergency C-section due to fetal distress during labor.  At one point there were at least 10-12 people in the L&D room while my OB had his hand in my vagina, and I don't even know how many people were in the OR with me.  A bunch it seemed.  I literally recall NOTHING about how I was cleaned up or handled after I went to recovery... I know I had a catheter and couldn't get out of bed for 24 hours so I'm sure someone had to clean me, change my pad, etc., but I just don't even recall any of it.  Clearly not something I had any feelings about at all!![/quote]
