Happy New Year podcast fam! If you are listening to this in real time, then you know that this is the very first episode of 2023, and we're kicking off the year with a super fun "Ask Me Anything" style episode.
This time, I asked our community over on Instagram for their most embarrassing questions that they had about birth (you know, the kind of things that you might be a little bit shy to ask but you really want to know), and let me tell you, you guys delivered – no pun intended!
I had such a great time doing this episode for you because I love talking about embarrassing stuff. And we had so many great questions come in that I actually broke it up into two parts for you, with part two airing next week.
If you love these types of episodes, after listening to this one make sure to check out episodes 58, 137 and 155.
Questions covered in the episode:
-
How common are hemorrhoids during delivery, and what causes them?
-
I already have painful hemorrhoids; how much more painful will it get and what can I expect during childbirth?
-
Does the doctor push the hemorrhoids back in while I'm pushing during birth?
-
Can masturbation during labor and delivery help move things along?
-
Why was delivering my baby such a relief and is it normal that it felt similar to having an orgasm?
-
What kind of outfit do I wear during labor, both for the top and bottom?
-
What do I wear in the bathtub or shower if I don't want to be completely naked?
-
Do lots of people really labor while naked? Can you wear pants and underwear?
-
What can I do if I'm scared to tear badly during labor and delivery?
-
Is it ok to have pubic hair or do I need to shave it? What about waxing?
-
Will my vagina go back to normal after birth, and will sex feel different?
