My grandmother came by to drop me off some oven baked mac and cheese sprinkled in bacon (heaven). I was trying to enjoy my pregnant woman's delight when Grammy thought it was time to share her birth story.

Some things you cannot UN hear. “Honey bunches I hope your experience giving birth will be a smooth one. When I gave birth to your mom it was very painful. But when I gave birth to your aunt it was an orgasmic experience. You know some women have orgasms when giving birth? It’s not a gross thing or sexual. It feels a good as sex orgasms but it’s not sexual. There are techniques you can do to try and have an orgasmic birth but back then I didn't know that and never heard of it just happened. Your mother went through a lot of pain with you. I just wish for you that you will have a pleasurable birth.

I thanked her for the information and we just sat in awkward silence for a while. I know it’s not a gross topic but it’s really not something I feel comfortable discussing with my grandmother. I kind of feel like I would be embarrassed to be having orgasms while giving birth. IDK
