I think it must have something to do with all the hormones/adrenaline/etc... of childbirth. Or maybe it's because hubby is there during childbirth (and not check-ups). I dunno.

I agree that you lose all modesty during childbirth. In fact I remember them asking if a student EMT group could observe when I had #2. At the point the entire USC marching band could have been in the room and I would have been fine with it as long as they were all random people. But for some reason I would have been weirded out with family members being there.
