Things you'd wish you'd known BEFORE going to the hospital? - Page 10

I'd bring a blindfold in in case I want to sleep in the daytime and was in hospital for 6 days in the end.

Also, but this was just a personal choice, as I'm a very light sleeper I'd bring earplugs too, wear both before baby is born then only 1 after baby is born so you can still hear baby but not every pin that drops.

TMI ALERT!!!

When i was being stitched afterwards i was bleeding so much the midwife needed to insert a 'tampon' to stop the blood flow so she could see......IT WAS THE SIZE OF A DEODORANT CAN!!!!

I love that women have to go though 9 months of poking and proding...then a LOAD of people that she doesn't know will stare at her lady garden and her butt hole. She will scream and cry while her vagina gets ripped open for a baby to come out. Then theres the water breaking...the blood...the placenta...

But what do we worry about?

omg so so true!!! I was in the very middle of it all! Back to back labor, forceps the whole bit! And what stands out? That I knew I pooed a bit...(could smell it

not bad just a little before they cleaned it up in ten seconds)

Just curious with all the poo talk

Do they not make you do a clean out before?I am in the US so maybe its only here but with all 4 of my kids I had to do a enema first thing.I guess if there is no time they wouldn't..

Thanks for all the helpful info most of these things I had forgotten

There is no way in hell that they would make me do an enema with everything else that was going on.

Cheeky sods!

I didn't have an enema either, it used to be part of childbirth in Ireland but they stopped, thankfully.

It's going to be messy as hell anyway, why add the extra indignity of an enema?!

famof6 · Sep 2nd, 2011, 08:37 AM

They may not do them here anymore either not sure it's been a while since I had my last child.I was just wondering if everyone was still pooing after an enema.It did make me miserable with the contractions but my last 2 were induced so had time for it to kick in before the contractions started.Maybe my hospital has cut them out to.
