When do you usually poop?

Question

I’m arguing with my husband because he always showers and then shits and I said you’re supposed to shit and then shower and then he says he can’t control when he shits. I think you can train your body like... don’t people have routines? Wake up, drink your coffee, take a shit, shower then get ready for work or the day?

Answer

I had IBS before getting pregnant with my son. There was no "training" my body to be on schedule. Yes, logically it makes more sense to poop before you shower but the warmth of the shower could be what helps him poop. If I had just showered then had to poop I'd jump back in and rewash.

Answer

I have one so I go whenever I can. Not everyone can control their poop schedule

Answer

My doctor told me just today that you should never try to adhere to a poop schedule. You need to go when you have an urge to go, not when you feel like it’s the “right time.”
