    Red face stupid question I am sure LOL

    ok this could possibly be classed as the most dumbest stupidest question but well I have never thought of it before

    was reading a friends birth story she had a epidural, ok didn't think anything of it till she was telling me about how long she had cathetor in ... ok here comes the stupid part.........

    how do you give birth with a cathetor in does it go in a different part of your hoo haa than where bubs come out seriously nobody is allowed to laugh I feel like a complete dumb butt not knowing this

    Yes hun the catheter goes up the urethra (where u pee from) and the baby comes out the vagina (where you put a tampon). you can do damage if you push too hard with it in so i would recommend to avoid an epi for as long as possible.
