I'm scared when I go into labor I'm gonna poop while I'm pushing. Has any of you mommies accidentally poop while you delivered your baby.?

I just picture it now. I'm delivering my baby and I bear down to push and out comes a fart then poop... ugh lol I kinda dreading it but if I poop I don't wanna know. But my boyfriend wants to record the birth so if he records it an gets me pooping while pushing I think I would destroy the tape cause I don't want no one to see that

I think it's pretty common and the docs are used to it. I did with both of mine. With my second I was worried about it so I was very careful with what I had to eat towards the end of my pregnancy just in case. As luck would have it I ate a turkey sandwich and an hour later my water broke.

That's what I was thinking and then I thought what if he decides to come when the laxative starts to kick in and I shart everywhere... I don't know how we're gonna prevent this you guys I'm gonna be mortified... I know they say it's not a big deal but I don't even fart infront of my husband lol, I guess he's going to experience a whole new side of me that day

I did with my first and i didn't even care i was so focused on pushing and keeping calm. wat i did for my second delivery was take some laxitives in my last week of pregnancy just to be sure i wasn't bound up because as u ladys kno who are prego sometimes pooping isn't easy. lol I'm always bound up thru my pregnancy very uncomfortable!

I dont know if i did with my first one and prob wont know if i do with this one. You prob wont know either unless you ask. It is def a very common thing so dont be worried that anyone will care.

I'm scared that I will fart too, at least you can kinda hide the poop situation but you can't hide a loud fart lol I'm thinking I'm going to scream just to make sure I can conceal it

I did with my first and I told my hubby to tell me if I did and when I was in mid-push he looks at me with this creepy grin and just says bunny pellet...I was so embarrassed! But the nurses just laughed it off and didn't even act weird about it lol

I did with our last delivery because he was almost 9lbs. That was my fourth delivery but the first time I pooed. Lol the nurse just wiped it up and kept encouraging me to push. They have seen it many times before and won't let your baby land in poopy. I told my husband I pooped and he said he didn't see it:)
