Trust me I'm a nurse, I'm sure midwives have seen far worse then a bit of poo! As soon as labour starts take some laxatives and clear urself out if ur that worried!

I pooped with baby #2, this is my 3rd pregnancy. The only way I knew I pooped is my hubby told me days later lol. He said the doc wiped me up and continued like it was nothing. I told it was and its just that common:-)

Don't even think about it. Its out of you control if it happens its your body making as much room as it can for baby to come out. You will likely never know if u do or not. My best advice is realax and let your body do what it needs. I am pregnant with number 3.

Most women do poop when pushing but its so normal that i wouldnt be embarrassed about it. But like someone said already, some women have diarrhea a few days before they go into labor leading up to the day and that would clear you out.

If it does they will clean it up probably without you realizing! Your body quite often "cleans" itself out before labor anyways and you might running poo and vomit a day or 2 before
