Oh wow! I've never heard of a pre-birth enema... you'd think the woman in question would have more pressing matters at hand 😅 Super happy to hear about the safe arrival of your little human, and their immediate introduction to theor lifelong microbial companions 😁
Where I live they recommend enema before birth so that you don't poop. And they also say, just do it yourself at home. As it was a normal thing to do on a Thursday afternoon.
What I can say, I didn't regard it as normal and I wouldn't even know how to go about it, which stressed me out too much so I skipped this part. And I shared with my baby all the best bits of my microbiom for that first year boost. And my baby returned the favor as soon as she landed on my chest. It was a lot of cleaning for the hospital stuff, but I hope they didn't acknowledge much of a difference between various body fluids that accompany the miracle if birth. Greetings from one microbiom seeding mama tho another!
Well I wasn’t expecting that this evening - thanks for the enlightenment.
Our intimate microbes are definitely equal parts fascinating and off-putting! :D
