“Before my son was born, my husband and I made an agreement that he would not look down there… Well after he was out and they were going about the after-business, I saw him making a weird face.  I asked him if he looked, he nodded yes and said he saw the placenta.  He then whispered that it looked like a meat toupee’.

“I wanted to see the baby’s head and asked for a mirror.. I thought they would give me a little hand mirror… THEY DIDN”T.  It was a full length and I saw it all.  OH GOD!  That and them smashing my stomach after birth to get the clots out (I thought they were going to grab my spine through my tummy!”

“I felt what I thought was a No. 2 slip out just as I got into the birthing pool. I said to my husband ‘Oh my God, I pooped in the pool!’.  Just then, a big bubble floated to the surface and I said ‘Oh my God, I birthed an alien!’.  The midwife grabbed the ‘bubble’ and tore it open. My son was born inside of his amniotic sack.”

“Nobody tells you what your lady bits look like after giving birth. I had a full length mirror in front of me and kept having to ask the midwives to move it lol!”

“The lack of dignity, the amount of people who put their hands (feels like arms) but your hoo haa to ‘feel the baby’.  I had prolonged 1st and 2nd stages so in the end there were 13 medical staff in the room when bub was born.  I think every one of them saw more of me than I ever have. lol”

“The sound of the umbilical cord being cut! My husband cut it first and then I got to cut the access cord off and I thought it would just go ‘snip’ but no, it was like a crunch noise and was tricky to cut through!.  The thing that shocked me the most was seeing the big pan of blood get wheeled out!  I was just staring at it thinking ‘Oh my gosh, wow! – that’s MY blood and wow, that’s A LOT.”
