thank you. i was mentioning how people in your "lady business" will be the LAST thing on your mind by giving you my personal experience. i thought that would be helpful, no?

Generally people who are grown up enough to become mothers aren't so judgemental. IMO

THIS! I love this!! You go girl! I didnt offend anyone when I said "hoo-haa" so I dont know why they have to make it so personal?!??!

Clarifying:? I said I think of how I WANT to be beautiful on the day I have my baby.? I know I won't be.? My husband's has seen me at my worst while puking these past few weeks, he's going to love me no matter what, it'll be the greatest experience to give birth... and I know I'll be heinous.? I worry about it... I would post about it.? But not now, because apparently people can't be worried about little things like that without getting a lashing of some sort.
This will make me think before I ever write about misgivings or things I'm worried about again.

A "lashing"? ?

Seriously? ?::giggle::?

1. The world would be a slightly duller place without euphemisms for vagina.

2. Back in the day they used to routinely shave off all of women's pubic hair in preparation for vaginal births, because it was thought to be more hygienic that way. Just a fun fact for everyone.

Anyone hearing Busta Rhymes in their head as they read this post or is it just me ?

mviajera · June 2009

I unfortunately had to have a pap every six months and sometimes a colposcopy for several years. I've had so many people look at my vagina and my cervix that it doesn't feel like something I need to be modest about anymore. (Not that I'm walking around commando, mind you).

I assume that by the time you reach 40 weeks, you've been poked, prodded, and measured enough that you're more comfortable with people being all over your very personal territory.

krissyh21 · June 2009

Your not the center of attention on the day you have your baby. The baby and the health of said baby is! I highly doubt anyone in the room cares that the makeup you are bound to put on before heading to the hospital is running or that your hair lost it's curl Indifferent

And ditto the above poster. When I first started fertility treatment it weirded me out that a wand needed to be inserted in vagina while I still had AF, I got over that and the fact that 10 other people were in the room when my child was concieved after doing it 2 times. By the time 40 weeks roles around you will stop caring as well.

Apparently people cant get past the hoohah, I dont get it.

I appreciate the honesty and perspective from someone who has had a child. And it actually made me feel better to hear that there will be so many other things going on that the last thing I will even think about is my bare vag in the air. But again, just me.

you also used to get enemas.

Honestly, I'd be more worried about post partum life than delivery. At least delivery is (relatively) short. Post-partum you get 1) a nurse or DH helping you pee/poop 2) a nurse checking your vagina as well as your 'roids every few hours 3) nurses helping you breastfeeding which involves about 20 hands at first it can seem. You think nothing of a stranger holding your boob while another angles your baby's mouth into place.

My friends doc made her do one before he would deliver.

GET OVER IT! People use different words to say different things all the time. its NBD. HOO-HAA, HOO-HAA, HOO-HAA! Just because I say hoo-haa doesnt meant I'm not grown up enough, that was really uncalled for.

well i see you're 20. that makes sense.

Well I see you're 24, and that makes u what so much better than me? I can say Vagina too, I can say hoo-haa too. Seriously u have nothing better to do with your day, than get your panites all in a bunch over what someone else calls there parts. U did give good advice, but it was uncalled for by saying I'm not grown up enough. Chill its just a pregnancy board, who are u the word police?? go do something else with your time. You would be doing everyone a favor!!

Luv-a-Bug · June 2009

By the time I'm 9mo pregnant and about to deliver, I think I'm going to be too concerned with wanting the baby out to worry about what they think of the way my vag looks.

FWIW, I had a scheduled induction, so I was able to shower/do my hair/makeup/etc. that morning and after 18 hours of labor, miraculously, I actually looked pretty decent. (I just lucked out, really)

HOWEVER. . . . I did have my legs spread-eagle for nearly 3 hours of pushing for 1 dr., 4 nurses and 2 interns to gaze lovingly at. After that I had a nurse help me squirt water on my vag after I urinated for the first time after giving birth, and had a nurse come & spread my buttcheeks every hour to check on my hemorrhoids.

Modesty? GONE when giving birth. . . completely. Just something you'll get over QUICKLY.

I call it a lashing, yes. If you're being negative about her post when she didn't even offend anyone or anything... that's a lashing. It's like telling her what IS and ISN'T "right" to feel during pregnancy. Who makes those rules? lol. I don't know, if I were her, you all would have just made me feel like crap.

They obviously dont care, and it must make them feel better about themselves for making fun of someone for calling it a hoo-haa. its very high schoolish. I'm worried for the future of their children!

There it is.. the official "I feel sorry for the kids" comment. Ladies, if you think this is a "lashing" you have a lot to learn about these boards and may be better suited to find somewhere new sooner rather than later.

Oh.. and yes, 20 is young. Very young. It is truly amazing the difference between 20 & 24.. or 20 & 28 as my case may be. The way "u" type says a lot about maturity levels.

Time to grow up and learn to accept criticism.

no one is making fnu of you for calling you vagina your hoo haa. ii'm trying to tell you it will be the last thing on your mind.

by the way, i taught HS 2 years ago. when you were still in it. silly how that works.

i think my kids are going to have a pretty sweet future.

Judah'sMommy · June 2009

I'm still LMAO at wanting to be beautiful like a bride on the day you give birth.

FYI: nobody cares about your vagina when you are in labor. They care about getting a baby out of said vagina. Please talk to me when you've been fisted by your doctor so that your placenta can be manually removed.

NOBODY CARES AND YOU WON'T EITHER. YOU'LL JUST WANT THE BABY OUT AND YOUR HINDPARTS SEWED UP PROPERLY AFTER.

OMG this was it for me!!!! When the nurse came in the bathroom with me so I could pee for the 1st time and she used the squirt bottle on me to show me how to do it and then told me to pat dry. Even after I don't know how many nurses and Dr. looking at and touching my VAGINA I was mortified.

MegGary · June 2009

Really? You want to be beautiful on the day you deliver your baby? Why does that freak you out? You're that vain to think of such a thing?

Just take our word for it. You will not care about your "hoo ha" beauty or any of the above when you are are in labor or pushing.

When I went into active labor I was asleep so I couldn't brush my teeth because I was in so much pain. I delived DD in less than 5 hours from start to finish. I farted a 100 times in my OB & midwifes face, I swear I shat but DH says no, I had bodily fluids pouring out of me that would make a Saw movie blush. Their where about 17 nurses, techs, 1 doc & 1 midwife in the room with me. The one stirrup kept collapsing whenever I pushed so the midwife had to hold my one leg while DH held my other. DD had a monitor attached to her skull while she was still inside of me because her heart rate droped. Believe me. You will NOT care one bit about who see's your anything at this point. So just let all of those worries go.
