Did you poop while giving birth vaginally?

Question

Answer

I was soo worried about it before I was actually in labor. Then when it came time to push that was the farthest thing from my mind! I just wanted my baby out😂

Answer

I did! And my nurse was so sweet about it. It’s how they know you’re bearing down and pushing correctly! Don’t be embarrassed about it, if it happens it happens. Your nurse will wipe it away and boom it’s done

Answer

Yes, it was unavoidable lol. I had already been in the hospital almost 24hrs by the time I started pushing and had a catheter in most of the day so I hadn’t gone to the bathroom in a while. They told me “push like you have to poop” and I said “I’m going to poop...” lol and the nurse said “Thats fine, what happens in Labor & Delivery stays in Labor & Delivery.” 😂 It was super quick though and they basically have a whole stack of pee pads under you so as soon as it happened she just pulled off the top pad, threw it in the garbage. Under a minute and it was over like nothing happened. lol.

Answer

I hadn't eaten in 48 hours by the time it was time to push so there wasn't anything in me

Answer

Sometimes. I did with my first but not with my second. It happens, you move on.

Answer

Everyone I was in the room with says I didn’t but I’m not sure if they just say that so I don’t get embarrassed or if I actually didn’t 😂

Answer

I did with my second but not my first
