did you poop while giving birth ?

Question

does this happen and is it embarrassing when you do it 😭😩 i just had explosive diarrhea and it made me think oh god what if this happens during labor.. i’d be humiliated but i heard it’s common. let me know the deets lmao.

Answer

It's common. A good midwife will wipe it away and not even mention it to you.

Answer

Don't know and don't want to know.

Answer

I didn’t with either, but I’m pretty sure they wouldn’t tell you anyway.

Answer

I have no idea… honestly I really don’t care though. My midwives made my birthing experience as calm and stress free as they possibly could, and my kiddo is happy and healthy and so am I. 
In that moment, pooping was the last thing on my mind 😂

Answer

I did 🤦🏻‍♀️🤣 but like everyone says the dr’s & nurses literally just wipe it away and keep it pushing (pun intended) I only knew because my partner told me lol

Answer

Honestly from what I’ve heard you won’t even know you did it, as there is a lot of pain and sensation going on down there. 
I worry about it too (which I know is silly) because I am SOOOO bathroom self-conscious. I have a medical condition that has always made my bodily functions most unpleasant so my entire childhood and adulthood has been spent only using a private bathroom with a 10-minute “no-go” rule after I’m done 😂
But at the same time, everyone there will be staring at my hairy, bloody, goopy vagina for minutes/hours on end. I can survive a little embarrassment (if I even notice).

Answer

Super common and they get it out of there real quick.
Everything is getting pushed aside and squished to make room for baby's exit, anything left in the poop chute is coming out too. Like a tube of toothpaste lol
You won't even care at that point because you're focused on birthing baby ❤️

Answer

Can you even feel it? I think you wouldnt know if it is baby or poo. But have never pushed. I might have a VBAC so am interested in this tread

Answer

They actually know your pushing the right way when you do poop. Like someone said.. whatever is up there is coming out. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Answer

I did but didn't give a crap (ha ha!). I wouldn't have even known but my husband said uh oh. The nurses told him it always happened and cleaned up without a word or care.
