This week I am back to answer your most embarrassing birth questions, part 2! I had so much fun with last week’s episode, I just had to come back and answer more of your questions because we got so many good ones!
Not only are these “Ask Me Anything” style episodes fun, but it’s my hope that they are really informational and educational for you as well. We all have questions that we might be a little embarrassed to ask our provider (even I do!), but have no fear, I’m here to unpack it all.
Stay tuned for next week!
On next week’s episode, I chat with OBGYN Dr. Nicole Rankins on what it’s like to be an OBGYN, doula care, midwifery care, and much more! You definitely don’t want to miss this one!
Questions covered in the episode
- How common is pooping and peeing during birth?
- How do I clean up all the stuff after birth?
- What happens if I get diarrhea in a birth pool?
