I never thought I'd do any of this...

in front of my SO.

So, although my SO and I have been together almost six years, pre-baby, I had never even farted in front of the guy. I had never asked him to buy me tampons, would run the water when I had to poop so that he couldn't hear it, would go to the downstairs bathroom to do business, etc.

He stood by my bed while I was on my hands and knees, arse in the air, swaying my hips back and forth during labor, while it all hung out. Then, he saw me deliver my placenta, so that was gross. I told him not to watch, but he didn't know what was happening, looked that way, and bam, there it was. After delivery, I got in the shower and the nurse told me to pee in the shower, since it would burn less with the running water...so I had to pee in front of him, standing up. Today, I had to ask him to stop on the way home and pick me up some stool softeners.  He never cares and has never said anything like, "Oh, gross." He's a good man and just says, "No problem, sure, it's okay." But, it's still embarrassing. The other day we were sitting on the couch and I just thought to myself, "I can't believe this guy watched me pee and still loves me." Lol!

Anything you never thought that you'd do in front of your SO/H that you ended up doing?

    I personally feel like he signed up for it all, the good and the bad.  If he can't handle it then tough because it is what it is.

    Lol! My DF threw some wipes in the toilet and didn't flush. I had to go bad and with the wipes in there I clogged the toilet. I tried for like 10 mins to unclog it and couldn't. I had to wakemy DF up to unclog it for me. Of course it took him like 2 seconds.. I wanted to die!

    Well, I left it up to H whether he wanted to watch the action down there during the birth, and in the moment, he ended up watching it all, which I have no problem with.

    I was comfortable with all the period/vag-related stuff going in to pregnancy, but pooping issues were sort of the final frontier. I dealt with constipation at one point during pregnancy and had to get frank with H about it, then afterwards, I had to talk to him about PP bathroom issues, including a hemmerhoid (I think I spelled that wrong, but autocorrect never works when you actually need it) at 3 weeks PP.

    With as long as we've been together there's nothing that's off limits. We've been known to show each other our impressive poops, because we are 10 year old boys. haha. He's had to go buy pads for me postpartum, which hasn't ever happened because I use a Diva Cup for AF, so I was just as clueless as he was when it came to figuring out what to buy!

    We're pretty open with each other.  When first LO was born it brought us closer together.  A lot of embarrassment out the window when you go through labor!  But yeah we talk about hemorrhoids, poop, you name it, lol!

    Bayleigh's hospital story reminded me of one of my own. The day after Elsa was born, I was on the toilet and realized too late that the peri bottle was empty. I had to call H to come refill it, while I sat on the toilet with my pants down. H glanced over and saw the pad and was like, "wow, that's a LOT of blood." the funny thing is that it really wasn't. I had changed the pad recently, so it just looked like a normal period amount of blood. If he only knew, haha.

    This kills me! You run water every time you poo?!? Good grief, woman!

    The most embarrassing part of post-delivery was when DH and the nurse brought me to the bathroom for the first time after they took my catheter out. I peed all over the floor and then when I stood up, I had a huge gush of blood come out, on the floor. This happened twice. He didn't flinch. That's why I love him.


    Lol, not anymore. I figure if he can handle a placenta, he can handle poop sounds.

    We farted occasionally in front of each other pre-pregnancy, but this all went to a whole different level. I was having some excessive bleeding they were worried about for a while, and I am a huge baby when it comes to blood. I tend to either pass out or get sick when I see a lot. That and I also could barely move because I was so swollen. This all led to my SO changing my pads for me. He became a pro at assembling the pad, tucks, and foam. Then he would hold it there and pull up my mesh panties, and walk me back to bed. I honestly thought he would never look at me the same again, but last night he made a comment about my boobs and his excitement about the possibilities of 6 weeks pp. I should also add he saw held my hand as I crouched over a bed pan in the hospital bed trying to pee with no success. And he still wants me after that... good for him I guess.

    I'm right there with you. I never farted in front of him, and pooing was totally off limits. Now we have discussed my bowel movements, gone together to buy stool softener, and last night he asked me how my hemorrhoids were doing. There is no going back.

    Honestly, I'm not a modest person by any stretch of the imagination, but DH has always been uncomfortable about things, especially bodily functions.  Farting and talking about poop are two things we got past after the first or second year of our relationship...I have IBS, mostly with constipation, gas is inevitable and the state of my bowels often made me horribly uncomfortable, big poops were cause for celebration, lol!  We'd never gone to the bathroom in front of each other, not even pee, but that all changed during delivery, but he was prepared and dealt with it just fine.  He even peed in front of me that night too (there was a toilet in the room with only a curtain to shield it, he could have used the other rest room, but didn't).  I'm ok with not pooping in front of him, but I'm hoping he'll be more lax about the whole peeing thing now.

    Ha, nice.

    DH called the nurse into our hospital room after I had gotten up to go use the bathroom and had leaked through the lovely mesh panties onto the bed sheets. He thought I was bleeding profusely and was so worried. 

    On that note, after going through labor and having DH watch the delivery, which he thought he wouldn't, I have no shame with bodily functions.
