Re: anyone getting an enema?
Huh? You are getting an enema before labor so you don't poop on the table?
Honestly, pooping on the table doesn't even remotely cross my mind these days. I'm more scared of the baby coming out of the vag.
No, I am not getting an enema. I really have no fear of pooping on the table. If it's going to happen it's going to happen. They clean it up so fast many women don't even realize they do it.
L&D staff see this stuff every day, so it's not like it's a huge shock to them.
I thought giving enemas before labor wasn't really done anymore?
Pooping on the table is the least of my concerns with L&D.

I totally pooped, and I didn't care one bit! I just wanted that baby out of there!
Oh, and the nurses clean you up so quickly that you hardly know that it happened.
My thoughts exactly!

I might get one, why not? I'm not afraid to say I don't want to crap all over a table in front of my DH. . . of course its not my top concern, but who wants to deal with that?
Its supposed to speed up the whole process too, although there is no guarantee that it will prevent you from crapping all over the place later.
I agree. I talked to my doctor about it and he told me he has no problem with it which made me a little relieved that he's used to it and won't be judgmental about it. My mother and older cousin said they didn't care when it came to pushing and it wasn't even on their mind at that point when the baby was coming out. I'm deciding towards not getting an enema unless I worry again being embarrassed pooping in front of everyone that are not nurses and doctors, but I doubt it.
I used to work as a CNA, so I've seen plenty of poop in my time, and I wouldn't be embarassed to be on the other side of it during childbirth. There's going to be a baby coming out of my vagina, for goodness sake! Besides, I'm much more worried about vomiting (I have a weird phobia of vomiting in front of other people, or even where they can hear me) than pooping.
Just for the record, though, I've had enemas in the past, and they're not bad at all.
