Awww the midwife who came on midway through my labour and very kindly got my my epi immediately
was lovely. She told DH to go and get himself a coffee for a moment once the pain relief had kicked in, and asked if she could help me to the toilet to 'have a little empty'. I was so grateful and said 'i was worried I'd do a poo pushing and I'd be embarrassed in front of DH' (I know that's petty but I blame pregnancy hormones) and she said 'i know you are'. Awww, so thoughtful! I didn't poo during and I felt like my dignity had been respected by her.
