so they say a lot of women poo during labour but.....

[special_kala]

I did with Willow apparenly, i dont remember it but apparently my husband went to walk down to the interesting end of the bed (was on my hands and knees) and i pooped so he casually tried to wander back to my head without looking grossed out

LOL, I can just imagine my husband trying to hide the look on his face but he would fail hopelessly I'm sure.

i pood. three small ones haha.
the first i collected myself. the next two i was going to the midwife over and over im doing a poo im doing a poo and she was adamant i wasnt....anyway...i was! totally not embarassing due to the circumstances!

 

[summer rain]

I honestly never have. My OH is always at the business end because he finds the whole process fascinating and 'cool' and he swears hand on heart I never have and he was a bit surprised and grossed out that it is so common lol. I've had really bad diarrhoea for at least 24 hours before having all of mine except for my second eldest where I was so constipated even pushing in labour didn't shift anything for days xx

 

[Blah11]

You wont care


I didnt poo with either of mine (i know this for a fact as i watched them both coming out lol) but I did have loads of other gunk like my show come out onto a inco pad I was squatting over. So glam! But honestly, i didnt give 2 hoots at that point.

I was so not bothered by the idea of pooping in labour. My OH has disgusting gas and I joked the entire pregnancy I was looking forward to pooping in front of him to get back at him for all the gas...

And then I didn't poop. I was kind of disappointed because I was actually so okay with it happening! Haha. I think it would have been nice to poop too, when I was pushing it felt like I was constipated. Which evidently I was.

 

[tooyoung]

Haha this thread is cracking me up. I didn't poop but I felt like I was going to. I didn't know that was a normal feeling so I was a bit stressed about it lol. I kept saying, I'm going to poo!! The nurse said, if you do you do. No big deal cuz we've seen it all before lol

 

[stardust85]

I have been so worried about this!! Everyone say you wont care..im convinced i will because its such a big worry!! I know in the greater scheme its not impt but i cant help but feel completely mortified at the thought!!!

 

[wishingalways]

Im still with you on that one stardust.... I know I have told DH about it and he knows I really dont want him seeing it and I know when its happening I probably wont care but I still worry about it. x

you'll look back at this thread and laugh once you have your LOs

An enema can help to avoid embarrassment , I was given one - so, no poo ) or I just did not notice it (I did it on land not in a pool).

 

[bubbles]

I totally did this time, hubby was the shit sifter He actually left one bit of poo in the pool for me to get out, as if he was getting his own back!

 

[Xlaura_BellaX]

i did yes and was completely aware i was too, did i care??? noooo haha was concentrating too much on other things and in to much pain to give a damn

 

[Indi84]

I did a little poo..but they just whipped it away! I did realise but didn't really care, I was pushing, no pain relief, poo was the last thing to stress about! did make me and dh laugh and I said sorry to the midwife!

 

[AJBliss]

I was so worried that I would, but I didn't. My DH was greatly relieved that he didn't have to use the sieve! I now know that I would rather do a little poo while pushing than another clearout from both ends simultaneously like I had in what must have been transition.

 

[jobiem]

Seriously at the time when you are in labour you really couldnt care aless if you poop or not hahaha xx
