Just to anticipate your next question , on the advice of several nurse

difference whatsoever on the "poop during pushing" issue...just give me a
false sense of security)

Good thing you are you considering this now, because trust me, once you
are in labour, this will be the furtherest thing from your mind. ;-)

Heh -- nicely put. I'm one of the shyest people in the world when it
comes to using the toilet, but once I was in labor I really didn't pay
any attention to exactly what was being pushed out.
