I think I read someone else say they were going to ask for the baby to be wiped before getting it on another thread, so I think it's something they're used to.
love the catching the placenta story!
one of the reasons I don't think I want a water birth is someone told me they pooed in the pool!!!! and then my friend who is a doc said she sees people giving birth around floating poos all the time!
but then again, I'm sure it's worse in the bed
oh goodness me, we really will have no dignity at all - maybe I don't want my hubby there after all, he's not good with bodily functions and very shy about all that sort of stuff!!!!
As for this blooming 6 week period I've been hearing about, WTF???? I've been so happy being period free, I KNEW there was a catch!!!!!!
