I am glad that it seems your enema contents made it to a toilet/bedpan. Some women are not that lucky, and end up with lasting memories of having a watery poop in front (or even on)strangers.
With my third child his head was crowning by the time anyone bothered to check my cervix. I would certainly hope that no one would waste time trying to give an enema in that circumstance!

I know the administration of a large cleansing enema to a laboring mother is not very pleasant, with the contractions from labor ,and the cramping from the enema. I have found that having the mother relax, taking deep breaths, and inserting the tubing further into the bowel takes away some of the discomfort. In addition this type of enema is given in early labor because it takes 20 to 30 minutes to expel, and removes the majority of fecal matter from the bowel.
