Embarrassment One: You are completely undressed

Expectant Mother: When giving birth, the doctor can disregard everything and even if it's the wife of an important person, they must still be stripped down and lie obediently on the delivery bed for others to handle. With private parts exposed for a long time, how embarrassing is that?

DouDou Mom: During labor, if you don't take off your clothes, the doctor won't be able to perform any procedures, and the baby won't be able to be delivered smoothly. As a mother, what should be considered first is the safety of the baby. Sacrifices need to be made when necessary. Maintain the right mindset during childbirth, don't feel humiliated, and don't imagine doctors as perverts. In reality, they are angels helping your beloved baby come into this world.

Embarrassment Two: You undergo an anal exam

Expectant Mother: Before entering the delivery room, the nurses love to prod our rear ends. They may seem gentle normally, but when prodding, they can be quite harsh, making me shiver in pain. I'm annoyed because they keep prodding at such smelly and dirty places every few minutes!

DouDou Mom: The purpose of an anal exam before labor is to understand the condition of the cervix opening to determine the exact timing of entering the delivery room, usually until it opens up to several centimeters. Nurses repeat the anal exams to better understand the position of the fetus. Many expectant mothers request to enter the delivery room when their cervix has only opened two or three fingers wide, which is actually not beneficial. Staying in the labor room with family support is more convenient than being in the delivery room.

Embarrassment Three: Your hair is shaved

Expectant Mother: Normally, I would rush to the bathroom to urinate and quickly flush afterward to avoid being seen by others. But now, enduring the pain of labor, I spread my legs and let someone insert a catheter, and the urine is collected for "observation" by all the doctors. I'm embarrassed enough without them feeling grossed out!

DouDou Mom: Doctors insert a urinary catheter for expectant mothers to ensure smooth delivery because during childbirth, the bladder function temporarily diminishes and cannot recover promptly, preventing timely urination. However, after childbirth, the body needs to expel excess water. Without the catheter, the excess water could harm the new mother's health. This method is used to help new mothers urinate promptly.

Embarrassment Four: Possibly having a male doctor assist with delivery

Expectant Mother: Why are there male doctors in the delivery room? Where did all the female doctors go? In this world, I only want my husband to see the most "real" version of myself. Yet this random man gets to enjoy the same privilege as my husband. How can you make me lie naked in front of you for so long without feeling awkward?

DouDou Mom: In fact, male obstetricians also have their own difficulties. Honestly, even their own husbands might not be able to handle the bloody sight of childbirth. They endure this day after day. Moreover, compared to female doctors, male doctors have greater strength and remain calmer during emergencies, which helps with a smooth delivery.

Embarrassment Five: You are given an enema

Expectant Mother: When giving birth, the doctor insists on inserting a tube into our rear end and manipulating it. I wanted to curse them out, why couldn't they just leave my poop alone, forcing it out unnecessarily. And have they considered my feelings? I lift my buttocks for them to manipulate, which is very uncomfortable. Wow! How could these well-educated people come up with such ideas!

DouDou Mom: Pregnant women often suffer from constipation, leading to fecal accumulation in the intestines. The sigmoid colon located in the upper left part of the small pelvis can affect the smooth descent and internal rotation of the fetal head during delivery due to the large amount of fecal matter, hindering the progress of labor. Therefore, once labor begins, an enema is administered to clear the intestines and reduce resistance in the birth canal.

Embarrassment Six: You undergo an episiotomy

Expectant Mother: Giving birth is already painful enough, and you still cut the most precious place on me. Do you know how much effort I put into protecting it? The place I carefully guarded for twenty or thirty years was so easily destroyed by you. Can you not understand how important it is to us women?

DouDou Mom: When a baby's head, approximately 10 cm in diameter, is delivered, without the assistance of an obstetrician protecting the perineum, many new mothers would experience varying degrees of tearing injuries. Once these tears occur, many postpartum complications can arise. If a timely episiotomy is performed, these complications can be avoided, benefiting both the new mother and the baby.

Embarrassment Seven: You lose control of your bowels and bladder

Expectant Mother: During childbirth, I had to push hard and ended up defecating on the delivery bed! Not just once, but several times. Initially, the doctor said it was fine and normal. But after so many times... I guess the doctor’s face turned half black. Even worse, my daughter came out covered in poop. Finally, the doctor said, "How come both of you can poop so much?"

DouDou Mom: After receiving an epidural anesthesia during labor, the sphincter muscles near the anus become numb, weakening the control over bowel movements. On the delivery bed, you may also experience intestinal contractions, meaning defecation. However, doctors view this objectively, considering it a normal function of human organs. When the baby's head passes through the birth canal, the rectum becomes slippery, and its contents are pushed out.
