Did you poop during labor/birth?

Question

Just thought I'd see how many people it really happens to! 😂 
I pooped once when I started pushing- I just remember telling the nurse "I pooped" (I was standing up) and she just said "it's okay". I didn't look at it or remember who cleaned it, but I just asked my husband and he said HE cleaned it up!! Bless his heart 🤣😧 I cared about it for maybe a few seconds and then had another contraction and didn't care any more.. what about you all??

Answer

I didn’t with my first but did with my second... I had a water birth  and a midwife just scooped it out with what looks like s big kitty litter scooper 😂🙈

Answer

No....I’m a lady.
(Just kidding...with my third I woke up with the urge to poop...I tried...it didn’t work...then the strong contractions started.  I think we all pooped - me, the baby definitely did (dirty water), my husband might have...I wasn’t brave enough to confirm my suspicions with the hospital staff though.)

Answer

I think I did, I kept saying how it felt like I was going to and the midwife told me she was sure if I was going to that I would have by that point (I was pushing hard for 3 hours). At the very end though I definitely felt the OB near my butt as if a little bit had come out and he was taking it away. It definitely wasn’t a big deal at the time

Answer

By the time it was time to push I didn’t feel it come out but I felt her wipe my butt only because the epidural had start to wear off 👀
