Nervous

I'm really getting nervous now :-/ the thought of everyone peering down there when your not confident as it is whilst in labour is starting to get to me

Trust me it will be the last thing on your mind when your in pain!

You will have very little sense of shame or personal privacy once you have birthed a child in the hospital - and you won't care, because you grew and birthed a wonderful new life!

The doctors and nurses have seen it all before... They are not judging you on the appearance of your vulva, I promise!

You honest to goodness won't care when you're in the thick of things and will welcome people helping you out.

Just as everyone else has said, it will be the least of your worries.

I was like that too! But like everyone says, it'll be the last thing on your mind! I was glad for the ones who attended my delivery to be there, never saw my mom cry (happy tears) so much, or SO almost passing out

You really WILL NOT CARE. Just let it go and focus on the task at hand

I can be modest/shy when it comes to these things normally but I've found that since getting pregnant, the layers of modesty have gradually been stripped away. Things happen to your body that you can't control and they're not comfortable and they're not pretty. Labour and delivery is just one more layer of that. The doctors and nurses have seen it all, and I'm sure they've seen worse than whatever you're going to present (at least, that's what I keep telling myself!). In the moment, I think priorities will shift elsewhere and modesty will be the last thing on our minds.

If it'll make you feel better, book a wax or something so that you're not worried about what it looks like before you go. It won't make a difference to the medical team but if it will reduce your anxiety before going in, it's worth it!

The Drs and nurses see this stuff all the time and they won't see your vajay in the same way you do. To them its just another part of your body, no different to your ears or hands. They'll be so distracted by the thing coming out of it that they won't even think about commenting on your cooch. If you don't want members of your family to see, don't invite them into the delivery room. My H is the only person i'm having in the delivery room and he's seen it all anyway (considering he was the one who got me in this state).
