I love this question. It truely put a smile on my face. Unfortunatly its not controlled. Everyone is correct you won't even know if you do. It goes out with the rest of the trash. I did with my children but one. I wish I had because maybe my bum would not of hurt so bad after. Relax and don't worry. Trust us all when we say what ever happens is NORMAL.

I just had my baby 6 weeks ago and I DID poop! lol
But I'll be honest about it, you will NOT care. You won't even know your doing it. They clean you up before you even realize it. And if your worried someone will see it, don't be...... my husband told me I pooped in the midst of me pushing. I couldn't help but laugh! It's totally normal and happens to some women. Once you get the baby out, you won't even be thinking about whether or not you went to the bathroom.

Afterwards, while I was getting stitched up, I was pooting in my doctors face!! LOL! And he said that it's from the epidural so it didn't matter if I could hold it or not. It just happens. Your doctor sees this stuff all the time. Don't worry about it. I find it very humorous that my husband seen my poop for the first time after being so modest about it. I feel like now I could go to the bathroom with the door open! LOL But of course I don't :))
