I would love my DP to be in. but i dont want him to be shocked by what happens.. like.. if i poo myself or something.. lol.. .. so i was wondering if you would help put together a bunch of embarassing facts together that could happen whilst giving birth, just so them i wont be embarassed if they happen.. lol..
or.. what would you wish your partner had known before coming into the labour room with you..?

Don't forget to mention the placenta..heard of lots of male ignorance on this one...eg. thinking their wife was losing her innards or that the cord should retract like a tape measure once cut after baby born. Placentas are big and bloody. If you feel self conscious keep him up the head end...lots of kissing great for labour!
