Breaking wind in labour

You would likely to be completely unaware of it, and even if you did it would be forgotten soon after.

It's sooo hard to really think about it now, of course it seems utterly mortifying, impossibly embarrasing, then again so does the idea of moaning, being stark naked or doing the strange 'chicken dance' I did all the way through labour...honestly, it's not the pooing that's scary, it's the whole idea of not 'being yourself' , not being in control, and I think it's best not to think about it before it all begins (the 'embarassing' things I mean..)You just can't fathom what it will be like, but you're not quite you, and no-one expects you to be, not the midwives or doctors or your OH. Most women poo, and as a midwife (I was a trainee before LO) that's precisely what you want, because an obstruction in the birth canal stops the baby coming down..it is honestly not even discussed between midwives, or students, it wouldn't be worth it as it's just a normal part of pushing hard and pushing out, the right kind of pushing to get baby out! I am also worried about it, can't help it, though it's my 2nd. With first, I got up and went to the toilet, midwives thought I was mad and put a bowl blocking the toilet as they were sure I would just push the baby out down there!

i agree with other posters, you really will not care if u wee, fart or poo when in labour! u will have other things on ur mind!

My hubby only told me a few weeks back that I pooped giving birth to our DD, I had no idea, our DD is 20 months and I'm 36 weeks pregges! He told me very matter of fact that first out came the poo the out came baby!
The midwives will have seen it all before!

oh im in stitches reading this thread, thanks ladies.

I trumped in the pushing stages with my son. Never pooped though.
I must say after 16 hours of labour, two hours of pushing, having to a vonteous delivery and a room full of people looking at your private parts counting to 10 i really didnt care.

It worries me again this time round but when your in labour its the last thing on your mind.

My poor mother had diarrhea when she had my brother. I bug him about that all the time!

Oh god... this would be my worst nightmare!!

I don't remember farting in labour. But I'm told I didn't poo, which is hard to believe as just before I had Luka I told them 'I have to poo', they checked me and said you're ready to deliver. I kept saying 'no, I really really have to poo'. Lol. I was insistent. Thought they were nuts. Turns out that poo was indeed my baby.
I wouldn't have cared if I did poo though, no way I could've stopped it anyway!

Mine is a TMI post

I'm fairly confident when I say that I didn't fart during labour. I did pooh though My OH said it was disgusting; reallyt dark and really solid; it came out as a straight piece and just stayed there, hanging out, until someone had to remove it. TBH though, I didn't care when I smelled it, I didn't care when he told me, and I don't care now.

The beauty of childbirth; but my daughter was so worth it
