I always feel really awkward like we shouldn't be watching this even if it's just acting, because a birth scene throws attention onto the fact that there's things going on with someone "down south." I feel extremely uncomfortable if there are other people around when scenes like this come on tv.
I feel awkward when people talk about it in regular life too. My mom's friend had a baby and we were all talking in the kitchen and she started talking about the birth, how many times she had to push and things and that too made me feel really uncomfortable like we shouldn't be talking about this because of the area of the body it involves.
Is this normal to feel uncomfortable like this? Do other people feel this way? I find this embarrassing to even ask about because I have a feeling that it's not normal. Nobody else ever seems uncomfortable. I'm 15 and female. I have no idea if maybe this is connected to the fact that I'm terrified of having to go through this someday too. But mainly I feel uncomfortable because the whole thing is connected to what's going on with someone's um..parts..
When I was 3 or 4, our babysitter almost had a baby in front of me. When my mom got home she had to rush her to the hospital and she barely made it there in time. I fear this experience may have affected me and caused me to feel abnormally about this topic.
So is it normal?
