Ok, so be honest... how many of you
in Baby
did a poop in labour?
Just watching the Midwives discussing it on One Born Every Minute and am very interested.
I DIDN'T and was fully expecting too. But I asked the Midwives 3 times and they promised me I didn't!!!
I got the impression that pretty much every woman did - but it appears not?
Sorry if this is too much!!!!!!!!!!! LOL

I was pushing for 1 1/2 hours and I must have poo'ed about 4/5 times!!! I kept saying 'Oooo - I've poo'ed!' and the midwife kept saying 'yep, I know!' and quickly wiping!!
I apologised profusly afterwards but they were fine and said that they see loads of it!!
How embarressing!!
I was pushing for hours n kep saying I needed to poo but mw said she did not think I did but near the end I did two little black ball all thanks to the iron tablets lol really did not care coz toke the horrid need to poo feeling away!
Oh well,

That happened to me!!!
I had no idea I had done a poo until it literally went floating by! I was so mortified I grabbed it flung it out while the midwife was in my kitchen, oh god I'm cringing just thinking about it! Hubby will never let me live it down, which is fair enough I guess considering he had to clear up the pool afterwards haha!

As soon as my contractions started I got the runs really badly (sorry if TMI!) so I think my system cleared itself out at that point...

I didn't know whether I did but I asked OH afterwards and he said I didn't. I had a forcep delivery anyway so I don't remember doing a lot of pushing. x
I did a poo, it was just before I was ready to push and I kept saying "I think I'm going to do a poo" and the midwife kept saying, "no that's all good, it's the baby's head you can feel". Then I actually DID do one, and I could tell the difference , so I said "I really have done one now" and the midwife was like, "it doesn't matter, I'm used to it".
Funny how at the time it wasn't embarrassing at all (despite all the hot curries I'd been consuming recently!) I'm not remotely scared of doing another one this time round - they really have seen it all before and are so discreet.
I had a funny tummy the day before and then was violentky sick from the G&A so don't think there was anything left to poo. S x
