Embarrassing poop stories...? Anyone?
I'm 20 weeks pregnant with my second and yesterday when I was heading home I got a super intense pain which I thought was just gas.... We are part of the ridiculous California power outage and I was stuck in a long line of cars at a stop light that wasn't working (everyone loses their minds when that happens). It soon became clear that it wasn't just gas and things were moving around like crazy. I wasn't sure what businesses nearby were open with the power out or which had bathrooms, not to mention I couldn't handle getting my daughter out of her car seat and bringing her with me to the bathroom, and it's illegal and dangerous to leave her in the car. I wasn't that far from my house, so I made the decision to try to make it home. We live in the mountains, and are on a well that doesn't work when the power is out, but I had filled the bathtub with water to flush the toilet with and a 5 gallon jug with a spigot for washing hands ahead of time. The whole time it kept getting intense and then I breathed through it and tried to clench, but not TOO hard... It would pass briefly and then start up worse than before. By the time I was about two minutes from home I was audibly saying "no no no no no no" because the roads are winding and I was in our brand new car. I made it to the house... But the shift of going from sitting to walking was too much. I made it out of the car and up to right before the front stoop... and it struck. I had to suddenly squat down. I was wearing a long skirt and going commando, so it all just came right out onto the gravel in front of my house. I had been mildly constipated for a while so it was quite a lot. I had to take my skirt off outside (luckily no neighbors have a view, gotta love mountain living) and go inside to clean myself up. Then I had to come out and dig up the gravel and bury it all, and move fresh gravel over from another spot. It was a bizarre feeling. I was in shock, horrified, embarrassed, but also found the whole thing painfully funny. Luckily my one year old daughter stayed asleep in the car long enough to finish. Does anyone else have an embarrassing poop story they want to share to make me feel better? Please. Anything helps hahha
