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 :))
i didnt with either of my 1st 2, but its so common that if it happens to me this time im not going to be suprised
i did with 2nd labour but not with 1st but that was due to 2nd time round i had castor oil to brring on labour and gave me *****. so wont do that agen. i knew i had done it trhe midwife didnt say i thing was kinda embarrasing but i only thort about it wen it happened then i forgot was to focused on getting bubs out
I totally agree with ashelen about asking your questions :) this is a wonderful place to get support and to have many different opions and answers and I think the hersheys kiss is an excellent way of describing it :) wish I had have thought of that!!! :)
