Did you accidentally poop giving birth?

Question

Trying to figure out what the chances are of it happening to me. Lol 😶

Answer

I think so, but I honestly didn't notice neither did anyone else I just noticed the midwife quickly sweeping the mat away and replacing it with another one. If you do don't stress seriously you won't even notice ! No one else will either

Answer

I think it's something like 70-80% of women poop during labor haha. If you do it's a good sign that your pushing in the right place!

Answer

Don't even think about it. Most women do since you are using the same muscles. They clean it up so fast you won't even notice, and in the moment it will be the last thing you are thinking about, I promise. I gave birth last week and I couldn't tell you if I did or not although I am pretty sure I probably did.

Answer

Most women do, many (especially with epidurals) have no idea that they did (so I don't know how accurate your poll is.. Sorry ladies) The nurses are used to it and are quick about clean up. Since most women get constipated toward the end of pregnancy, and ANYTHING that is in there WILL come out when your baby's head comes down, it is a high probability that you will... Sorry. Don't sweat it

Answer

You usually won't know if you do. The nurses clean it away very quickly. With this last baby I went natural and I totally felt like I was pooping.. A lot lol. But it's normal to feel a lot of pressure anyways so it could have just been her coming out. I guess I could ask my husband if I pooped but I'd rather not know lol. They say even if you do it's usually only a tiny bit.

Answer

If you practice pushing. Theirs a difference between pushing with ur stomach & ur butt. Push with ur stomach... Like ur pushing ur stomach to pop out. This is my 4th child and with all 3 it only took me 5 pushes. I have 5 weeks left with this one. Good luck!

Answer

I hope I don't, I'm planning to do a water birth and that would just be gross lol

Answer

just a couple Hershey's kisses 😜 and my nurse was so great about descreately covering it up with the puppy pad thing that you lay on so her and I were the only ones who knew lol

Answer

Yep! I don't see how you can avoid pooping unless you went right before you went into labor. My nurse said, if you don't push like your going to poop, you're not pushing right and baby won't come out!

Answer

Most women have no idea. The nurses get it cleaned up right away and no one says a thing :)
