I’ve been an RN for over years and believe me I’ve seen heard and smelled a lot! Visually and mentally. Working in a high economic area, we have many women who truly do NOT want childbirth to be truly one of “Labor” let alone pain or anything else that might mess their hair or create unfeminine noises, smells etc. Recently a slightly “over done” woman was on the verge of getting uncomfortable and requested an epidural to ward off the pain. Fortunately that was accomplished and soon after she requested an exam to be able to evaluate how “much longer.” Upon examining the mother to be, a very loud noise was produced “down there” (as one not only loses sensation, but also “control”). She sat up as much as she could, looked at me and said “Did YOU do that”?.. I looked up towards her face and thought “Are you kidding me?” But to continue to keep the peace and have her feel “pretty” came back with “Sure, I’ll take the heat, of course it was me farting”. Please….
