Did you have constipation/hard bms until labor/birth?

Question

I have had hard stools or constipation since 15 weeks. I’m almost 37 weeks and am scared I’ll be constipated or have hard bms until birth and then poop when pushing. 😫😣

Answer

almost everyone poops during labor! My nurses were really great and funny and said everyone poops, but they wouldn't tell me if I did or not. I have no idea if I did or not, but they don't care. They told me to push like I was pushing out a big poop anyway. But I definitely was constipated the entire time I was pregnant. But it was like flipping a switch after I had my baby. I'm finally pooping regularly again instead of every 3 to 4 days.

Answer

I don’t even know if I pooped or not 😂 that was the main thing I was worried about too until I actually went in to labor. When you get an epidural you won’t even know if your constipated or not.
