Ouch!
A friend was once given a biopsy by a sleep-deprived junior doctor.
They needed a sample of his colon, so inserted the long bendy jaws-on-the-end thingy, located the suspect area and... he shot through the ceiling. Doctor had forgotten to administer any anaesthetic.
What was your ouchiest moment?

For future reference and for anyone reading this needing the advice:
Lactulose is your friend. It's not a laxative but it softens everything making it easier to pass. Therefore avoiding some of the horrible laxative aftereffects.
That and you need to drink LOADS especially if you're breastfeeding, orange juice is also good as it helps you absorb your iron better and also helps the poo thing along too.
Yep, am a midwife. :)
