I pooped with my daughter and I remember getting mad that I did. Lol. The nurses just laughed bc I was so frustrated over it. With my son I didn't. I'd had loose stool off an on for days before having him.

Before I went into labor with my first they put something on my behind it felt weird since it felt like liquid. As soon as they finished they told me I was ready to go to the restroom and damn they weren't joking LOL supposedly that was so I can empty everything out so I wouldn't poop at the time of labor.

I totally thought I was going to poop but I didn't. I thought I was gonna pee if anything. Trust me you'll be so focused on getting the baby out that you won't care if you poop. Besides they'd just wipe it away and I'm sure they're used to it

You won't even know it's happening if it does. And if you have good people in the delivery room with you, they'll never tell you if you did!  Lol!

Is normal to poop on yourself because when you push you push like you take a crap thats why is normal

When I went into labor with my son they had to break my water. I had diarrhea and vomiting so bad after they did that. So if you could hold off as long as you can before getting an epidural (if you get one) you should be fine. But they have a thing under you in case you go anyways
