Veteran moms: please help me!

Nicole
I'm a first timer and I'm fairly convinced that when I push during my delivery that my rectum is going to come out of my butt lol. Call me silly, but I really don't understand how it doesn't happen. I mean, even now, if I have to strain real hard to poop I feel like my insides are gonna just burst out. Please, someone, reassure me.
