Pooping while in labor ?

Question

This is probably a stupid question, but am I able to poop while I’m in labor. I’m in the 1st stage. Contractions every 15-20 min. I need to poop so bad but idk if I can or not😭. Obviously this is my first pregnancy 😂. But any answers, please & thank you !

Answer

Just go! Nothing will happen besides poop. And maybe labor will speed up if you’re lucky!  Poop your little heart out!

Answer

yes, i did

Answer

For sure. I pooped multiple times during labor

Answer

As long as you aren’t straining to poop, you should be fine. Your going to poop anyways as the baby descends down the birth canal

Answer

Haha yeah. Your body sort of... cleans out before you start pushing.

Answer

Sometimes the feeling of wanting to push baby feels like needing to poop. So... be careful.

Answer

I pooped a ton right before I had my son. You're body is just trying to empty everything out. You're not close enough together in contractions to be concerned about the baby coming out yet.

Answer

Definitely let yourself poop 💩 Just dont really push.

Answer

Yes you can poop. My friend told me she labored on the toilet because it was most comfortable for both of her kids

Answer

I did lol but I didn’t care I just wanted my baby out 😂
