My fiance and mother are going to be in the room, and there is one thing I have been told and warned about when giving birth.Pooing during labour!Is there any way to prevent it...someone mention cod liver oil to me.(btw please dont judge on my age, I have qualifications, a loving and caring fiance whose there 100%, I have a job (abouts to go onto maternity leave =]) and so does my fiance and the grandparents to be are all happy.)But yeah any answers. I dont care if there aren;t any as long as my baby is happy and healthy it would just be a nice thing to not feel so embarrased as I am already slightly so insecure.help maybe??!!

Well it went as others said after getting the pain i completely becmae oblivious to anything that happened other then to get her out!!! I ended up on ALOT of gas and air to put it nicely. I didn't poo during labour as i figured my systems were empty due to whats my poor bottom went through earlier that day and the night before =[. Yes i got the runs (diareha -cant spell it)
But yes Grace was born Jun 16th, 5lb 3 ounces and 3:34 in the afternoon =D. Shes quite content already, she likes beign handed around to family, shes quite a hungry baby though. breast feeding is going ok, but i prefer to express mainly so daniel aka daddy can help. Shes waking every 5 hours which i heard is good and she may be sleeping through soon - i hope. =]

 thats so true as well icelordess, I signed for 'no students' to be coming in when i was in labour, but I must say, there were loads, and we had a good laugh, they were all prodding me and feeling the bump, but they were lovely girls and to be honest my experience with them being there was great. They all asked after me afterwards because they knew i wanted a boy, and thats what i got. 'hes 22 now'..

You will have an enema when you first arrive, its painless, and then you can have a shower. You will be laid on a disposable sheet and if there is any soiling at all it is quickly removed. Your boyfriend would be offered a place at the side of you,not full frontal anyway so don't worry everything will be very delicately done. Just enjoy the experience and try not to worry let the nurses do that, they are trained in all these things. good luck. hope this helps.

Im still pretty insecure and i looked it up and aparently eneama's aren't ...whats the word... mandatory? The advice helped me a bit but hopefully. My mum is cheering me up a bit and conforting me saying it doesn't matter my fiance has said the same but its just. I dunno i just really dont want this to happen =[

Obviously, I have never given birth but I HAVE been with my wife when our kids were born. And, just last spring my daughter gave me the great privilege of being with her when my granddaughter was born.
Yes, there are embarrassing things that happen during delivery - regardless of who is there. But it is a medical situation and, in the U.S. at least, you (the patient) have the right to exclude whoever you wish. You must personally decide whether the support and encouragement you receive from these people outweighs the embarrassment you would feel.
