Ladies! I am looking for information from btdt moms!! Tell me about your water birth. Did you wear anything? Was it gross with the after birth in the water. What did you like best? What would you change? Will you do it again? Any tips? This is baby number 5, but my first all natural in a birthing center and my last baby. I want to hear the good, the bad and the ugly truth! TIA

Re: Water birth
I wore a sports bra last time. This time around I'm having a waterbirth in a birth center and the midwives expect you to be naked. I no longer have fucks to give about modesty during childbirth now that I know that it is the absolute last thing on your mind during transition. And afterward you're too busy focusing on the Thing That Just Happened too.

SIL only had a sports bra on for delivery. There was a fish net used for a poop scooper. She got out of the tub to deliver the placenta.
FWIW, I deuced when pushing DS out as well (not a water birth). It is *really* common and totally no big deal in the moment. It actually is a way to know you are pushing right.
