A question for all you waterbirth ladies.....

Did you wee in the pool?

I'm asking as I had a water birth at home for my first and I got out to wee which involved a walk down stairs to the toilet which made things more painful. I've since spoken to a friend who told me that she weed in the pool the whole way through her labour.

So what's everyones thoughts on the subject? x

    Yes i'm sure i weed. If you are pushing i don't think you can help it!
    As the baby doesn't breath underwater or swallow any water i shouldn't think thats its a problem! afterall there are lots of other bodily fluids in there too! LOL :lol:

    I didnt wee, for some reason even though I was desperate I just couldnt and they asked if i would like to get out and use the toilet but I was too pre-occuppied to climb out. So I hadnt weed for 7 hours I think and they had to drain it out for me as bladder was in the way when pulling out placenta!
