I only have with one of mine and I have had five kids already cause I ask afterwards if I did they r straight forward with you if u did or didn't and all my babies come out within 5 pushes or less so I know I'm pushing right.

Actually, a lot of woman do poop during labour but they are not aware, because the midwifes are so discreet about it, they remove it without u knowing. lol

I didn't with any of my deliveries, and this will be number 4 for us. Although, I did pee while pushing the last time with my son. My doc kinda laughed (along with my hubby) and said "dang that's a lot of pee" lol I didn't care though. She cleaned it up, and I continued to push.

I didn't either I was there way early,they asked me when the last time I bm he gave me enema and I used restroom on my own way before it was time to push or be full dialted. Yes some people do but u are covered pretty much only the Dr is under the sheet and knows he keeps things discrete and the people in ur room wont know. It natural and it does happen if ur there earlier enough ask for a enema to use restroom before the process starts

Yeah you do. Everyone poops chic. Sorry. But you probably will barely notice because of the pain. They're very efficient. They wipe to clean you up and tadah! Gone. Trust me. They see it all the time. If you're pooping....you're pushing right.

Lol. . .everyone poops during labor. . There's no preventing it because your body doesnt know the difference between pushing a baby out and pushing poop out. . .nurses and drs are very good at hiding it. Its nothing to be embarrassed about. :)
