Does everybody poop while pushing the baby out?

[Lilian95]

My Dr allowed me to eat a whole Big Mac n a large fries just a couple of hours before I delivered n I didn't poo or throw up. It really just depends on all else.

[bentonms]

I dont believe I did. I ate a good meal before too. It felt like I was going to poop because that is the muscles you use to help push the baby out.

[lousie_1986]

I didn't (had diarrhoea for a week before labour so was pretty empty) but my 2 sisters did. Only a little bit. I was the lucky one who scooped up the bits when I saw them (they both had waterbirths) ... I didn't particularly care, it wasn't that gross, and neither of them really knew they did it... You won't care much by the time you're pushing... Let other people worry about the poo, it's their job! The nurses clean up way worse messes everyday in hospital...

I didn't with my first because I had taken castor oil and had already been cleared out by the time pushing came. I'm pretty sure I did with my second though. Looking back it's kind of embarrassing, but at the time I had no time to even think about it.

I didn't with either of my babies but I kept screaming at them I felt like I was going to with my daughter but I'm glad I didn't because there was nothing under me,  I went from a 6 to a 10 in less than 2 minutes so they had nothing ready!  Lol

It happens because obviously ur pushing hard :) but not everyone does! I did a little bit..like the others said the nurses just get it cleaned up n keep on like nothing happened. Usually a little pad is under u in that area n they just move it to the trash quickly n they dnt even tell u it happened! its normal for them they see it everyday several times a day!

Lol! I gave the Dr. A handful!! I have never spoken of this until now!

[Cvarnadore]

I watched my nephew and niece come into the world. My sister did not poop with my nephew. When she gave birth to my niece, however, she did. The doctor quickly and discreetly got rid of it. It was a nonissue.

[jasminelove89]

I didn't. But then again i ate like way before and pooed way before lol

[Tljw]

My sister told me she did. She had her boyfiend and our mom in the room with her. Then she was like I can smell poo. Did I poo. My mom was like noo you didn't. Her boyfiend was like ummm. Then she freaked out saying I can smell it. I pooed. Then after the delivery her boyfriend told her she did. But it wasn't a log. Just a tiny piece

[Laceyfer]

I pooped a log. Not even sure how that was possible because I had diarrhea and vomiting when I went into labor, before I got to the hospital. Apparently they just roll the poop up in the pad and toss it quick. Not a big deal. And they don't tell u about it. The only reason I know I did is because my birthing partner was an a$shole and told me about it later that day -_-  whoever goes into the labor room with you, just tell them to keep that S#it to themselves. Literally lol

[tmeranda]

I did, but my Dr told me it's like Vegas what happens in the delivery room stays in the delivery room. The nurses don't even let it hit the table, you won't care by that point.

[Shaynaruth]

I've heard that many women do it without even realizing it, because the nurses are so discrete that they clean it up before you'd know.  Plus, your mind is a bit preoccupied with pushing out baby (I would think).

[veronica_12]

No not everyone it dep on how much u eat before doc usually tells me to eat light when getting close to due date

[Maryrose519]

No. But it happens. Trust me, it's the least of your worries :)
