alarming.

I'm startled to discover that our birthing class teacher was right: Poop Labor actually may precede Actual Labor.

But for the woman in our class who winced and cried out, "They're going to wash your butt?" when told that the nurses would probably come into the room and wash her butt, I am particularly concerned. This is the same woman who stood up at the end of the vaginal birth video and announced, "I'm ready to go," while all of the other couples hugged and the women tried not to cry.

Good luck, Heather and Jon!

update: She's here!
