| It's not only possible, but most women do. Don't be alarmed however because once you get to the pushing stages;
a. you don't care what happens as your dignity has already been lost somewhere between yanking husbands arm hair and yelling at the nurses
b. you notice nothing else but the baby coming out. I'm not even sure if I did -- I'm assuming I did as there's such enormous pressure down there anyway
c. A nurse or midwife will very discreetly hold a sanitary towel over your rectum in both cases.
I know it still sounds daunting but when you get there -- whatever gets your LO out/makes it easier for you goes.
Good luck! And don't let this alarm you! |
