Since we are on the topic of birth stories....heh (never thought I would say THAT here)...
Where my wife gave birth, they strongly encouraged women to NOT be naked. Very weird, I know, but that is an uptight, older, super affluent (but we are not by any means) community hospital for ya.
Anyway, my wife was going through labor and birth in a gown, with her breasts covered for sure, as well as her lower half when they weren't checking on her.
Well, because the labor nurses kept everything so discrete and such a mystery, when the baby came and she wanted to have him on her chest, she pulled down her gown and exposed her breasts. The nurses (including a male l/d nurse) stared at her breasts like they had never seen breasts before, even though they worked in l/d!!!
My wife said it was a weird feeling...had she been nude it would have made sense...but because it was a mystery, she said it was extremely erotic to have people watching her take out her breasts, especially the male. She said 99% of any other time it wouldn't have been erotic at all, but given the weirdness of it all, it really made giving birth super weird. Like, you just went through this traumatic experience, but then you catch a male nurse staring at your nips and you are turned on at the same time.
We had a post-birthing class and we talked about the weirdness of being clothed during birth, and all the other women said it was like that for them, too, and it was very strange and confusing. The person running the class thought that the new moms were the weird ones.
We had a second kid at the same hospital...same dang experience. My wife said that if we had a third, we were going somewhere that she could give birth naked like a normal person.
(My wife is also one of those women who would occasionally orgasm while breastfeeding, but I wrote about that in another thread in the past. I had another friend who had that happened a few times, too, even once when she was nursing in front of us!!)
