  1. they may ask if you wish to have an e***a, but it depends on hospitals.  I was asked about it with my first 3 children that were all delivered at the same hospital, but not with this last one- he was delivered at a different hospital.


  2. Okay, I don't know anything about enemas so that's probably something that happened in years past.  As for being shaved, that only happens if you are having a c-section and they only shave what they need to (where the incision will be, which is down low in the supra-pubic area).  Otherwise, if you have a vaginal birth, you will not be shaved.

  3. No, these practices stopped being routine (at least in 99.99% of hospitals) 20-30 years ago or more. (My daughter is 16, and neither one was even suggested.)

  4. They didn't make me have an e***a and the nurse did not shave down there for me.

  5. Most likely depends on your hospital.  You should go and ask the labor/delivery nurses when you go on a tour of the area.  Most likely they don't.  When I was in labor they didn't do either to me for either of my kids, but I also didn't get to push either of my babies out.

  6. I believe so yes.

  7. no they did not do any of that to me. I have 2 and am 33 weeks with #3

  8. PREGGO

  9. No, they don't do either of those things anymore.

  10. No to both questions. At least not at the hospital and Dr. I went to.

  11. i had neither.  i gave birth to premature twins (36weeks) and i didnt have an e***a or shaving.  17 years ago,,things were different and they had different ideas on what was best.  i have not heard of any of my sisters, inlaws, or friends say they have been shaved or enemas.
