Strangest question ever.. Going #2?!

Question

Okay I know you're never supposed to push hard going #2. BUT sometimes it happens.

Has anyone worried about using these muscles and it affecting the pregnancy? In essence, these are the same muscles that push out the baby, so is it harmful to push for #2??

I KNOW this is a gross and awkward post... But someone other than myself has to be wondering this too lol

Answer

I have used a small step or stool to put my feet on when I go #2 since I wa pregnant with my first baby over 6 years ago. My doctor told me it helps move things along if you can get your knees higher than your hips when sitting on the toilet. Then I either sit up very straight or I lean forward with my elbows on my knees. I also usually take my phone in and play a game or something to take my mind off it and then in no time I'm done

Answer

Probiotics! They will keep things regular. Plus eating oatmeal, and any foods that contain probiotics. Plus consuming probiotics during pregnancy can help prevent strep B and the need for antibiotics if you are concerned about those things

Answer

I've had chronic constipation my whole life so now that I'm pregnant it pretty much stopped moving. I strained so much I started spotting. My dr said that the baby was fine but put me on laxatives and stool softeners along with 80 oz of water a day and pelvic rest just to be careful. Took a week to get things moving again. Still on softeners and water, no pushing needed these days 😜

Answer

You don't want to push because it will cause hemorrhoids. But I don't think it'll cause you to go into labor early or anything like that.

Answer

Iol I wondered the same 🙈 I read it's not harmful for the baby but it's for the mom as it increases the occurrence of painful haemorrhoids 😖
