Does anyone else have a fear of pooping during birth? 😂💩

Question

It can’t just be me! 😂🤰🏼

Answer

I felt that fear but when you’re pushing it’s honestly the last thing you care about, really. 
Labour really enforces the “fuck it, I don’t care anymore” mentality.

Answer

yes and I'm also scared that when I poop I'll give birth! hahaha

Answer

Pregnant with baby number 3 here 🙋🏻‍♀️ 
It just happens 😂 I did and wasn’t even a big deal 
Only time in ur life when u just don’t care and laugh about it

Answer

I was scared about this with my first but after 17 hours of labor when the time came I could care less...just wanted the baby OUT!!

Answer

Like, a completely irrational fear of it. I fear it more than the pain 😂

Answer

As a Labor and Delivery Nurse, we see it all the time...it lets us know that you’re pushing correctly and no one will make fun of you for doing it!

Answer

When I gave birth to my son..that's all I could think about and during labor, when I had the urge to push, I screamed out  "What if I poop myself??!!" And my  doc (bless her heart) said "I want you to poop yourself cause that means we r doing good!".. That calmed me down and I didn't even fart..let alone poop😊

Answer

I just adjusted my expectations beforehand to the fact that it would probably happen haha; happens to most, why fight it or stress it? No one told me if I did and I didn’t ask. I’m perfectly happy with that haha.

Answer

If u so chances are u won’t notice anyway and they would of cleaned it up real quick. Don’t even worry about it. The end of labour basically feels like u need to poop until the baby comes out 💩

Answer

Nope. I never cared while I was pregnant or in labor with my son, or even after it happened. It's extremely common to poop while pushing so it's nothing to be afraid of or embarassed about. They've seen it hundreds of times so nobody even bats an eye if it happens.
