Im near my due date and someone in the family mentioned they do enema before delivery. I have no idea what it actually is and got a little scared. Can someone explain, planning to ask my gynac too.
I had early labor complications, so my doctor strictly avoided enemas. Never try to use home enema kits during pregnancy without your gynac's clear permission.
An enema is a liquid flushed into the rectum to clear your bowels, often given before labor. My tracker app says it's not always mandatory now, but check with your doctor.
I was so terrified of getting an enema before my delivery and kept googling it. Please talk to your doctor because self-administering it at home can cause early contractions.
It's basically cleaning out your pipes before delivery so you don't poop while pushing the baby! Honestly, it sounds scary but it's very quick and over before you know it.
