Schmickers - yeah... I did poo in DD's labour, and didn't care then... don't really care now.. still have a laugh about it. Think I even wee'd on the OB LOL. It's just the whole floating in the pool that adds a whole other perspective...

I have seen a couple of births on youtube and the water is very murky and bloody after the birth. Is that common? I've also seen plenty of other waterbirths where the water is quite clear whilst they're holding their new baby tho.
