Want to know the most embarrassing things that can happen in labour? Listen to E112:Parents You’ve Got This - The Expert Guide to Parenthood Podcast.

Labour and birth are vulnerable times and we welcome back our Obstetrician Dr Peter Jurcevic who has seen and heard it all. The good news is no one is judging you, the birth suite is a safe place. We hope that this episode will help you avoid feeling embarrassed because it’s all normal!

We discuss:

• Poo in labour - the number one thing people google about labour. Peter shares stats on how many women poo during labour

• How common vomiting is during birth

• How many women find that they may make loud noises in labour, screaming, groaning, swearing

• Farting or passing wind, how common is it and why

• Many women worry about what to wear in labour and exposing ‘everything’ but does inhibition go away during labour

• Bleeding and leaking can be something many women worry about. We discuss how messy birth can be and Peter shares his advice on what happens to the mess during labour

• The weird and wild things some women say in labour and does pain medication sometimes effect what comes out of a woman’s mouth

• Why it's common to feel out of control or cry a lot during the transition stage of labour

• Dr Peter's advice to women who are worried about embarrassing things that can happen in labour and why birth preparation is so important to know what to expect so you can feel more in control and empowered.
