Was just chatting with a gf about the midwife supplying a pool if I want to use one, and the thought occurred to me.. what happens if you poo in the pool? OMG how embarrassing! I can just imagine it floating up to the surface, or else lurking at the bottom and DH stepping in it LOL.

I know in hospital it was discreetly dealt with... but what about in the pool? Is it discreetly scooped out? or what? ick!! Am picturing myself doing what DD did the other day when she poo'd in the bath... she couldn't climb out of there quick enough and was screaming.. poor pet LOL.

I'm trying to convince myself of the beauty of a waterbirth... and I'm not doing a very good job of it. LOL. I'm not drawn to water during my labours, but I'm wondering if I'm missing out on something.. so am considering it being an option this time around.
