  • @mamatowildones I got just a full day of pooping about 4 to 5 days before birth. I was like OK where was all this hiding. I did not poop during labor though!
  • @mamatowildones I've been having loose stools for about two weeks. I'm 31 weeks so labor better not be impending for me! 
  • mcvgal said:
    So 1 hour gall bladder surgery turned into 3 hour surgery. I am staying overnight for recovery. Good thing is I actually came prepared with a hospital bag
    Oh no I'm sorry! 
  • I'm sorry @mcvgal! I hope you're feeling ok!
  • Contractions and pure exhaustion today. I'm expecting to be out on bed rest at my appt Friday :/ 
  • Sorry to hear that @mcvgal! Wishing you a speedy recovery!

  • Good news @Jkp7749!
    Sorry to hear about surgery @mcvgal! Thinking about you.
    Welcome @michelle59-2!

    Speaking of loose stools and @Yiggle09 not pooping during pregnancy, this is a huge fear of mine. How many women pooped (unintentionally) during labor??
  • Honestly I have no idea if I pooped during either labor. I remember it being a fear of mine as well during labor with DD1 but quickly realized it doesn't matter! The nurses are awesome and will clean it up if you do and go on like nothing happened. 
    Once your legs are up in the straddles, you've been in labor for hours, and nurses/doctors are coming in and out of the room with all your lady bits on display, pooping will be the last thing on your mind!

  • I didn't poop. I did, however, vomit all over myself and the nurse. All of my pics with DS on my chest feature my beautiful vomit crusted hair.

  • I don't know if it makes me feel better or worse that pooping is so common. Oy veigh... @pshaortao I do not want DH dealing with my poop!
  • @mamatowildones my mom had diarrhea about 2-3 days before each of her labors. She thought she had the stomach flu. It can definitely be a sign but I think hindsight as a host of other things can cause that.

  • I did not poop during labor/pushing but instead threw up the jello insisted I needed. I will say that 80% of people do poop though

    Is anyone else's Lamaze class super pro non-medicated birth and a little anti-everything else? I'd like to give a non-medicated birth a try depending on how much pain I'm in, but if I were going a different route, I'd be pretty offended by this teacher. I wonder if I just got a weird teacher or what. I am getting a lot out of the class, though, so I'm glad I'm going. Only 2 out of 6 left. 

    ETA: When I say anti-everything else, it's like she'll present the other options as an unfortunate occurrence and say things like "please don't feel bad if you wind up having to get X." Like, why should I feel bad? It just rubs me the wrong way and I didn't know if Lamaze in general is like this or not.

  • @kns1998 I think a lot of lamaze classes are geared to FTM and so many of them go in hoping to have a med free birth and then they beat themselves afterwards when that doesn't happen. The nurse is probably told to reiterate that it is totally ok if you end up with an epidural.
  • @kns1988 our prenatal class is kinda like that, but it's a class geared for women with midwives who are hoping for a med-free birth. That being said, our instructor is fantastic and when we do talk about any type of medical intervention it is always with the lens that "people can change their minds", or "sometimes this is needed for these reasons" and that it is 100% ok. It's all about being armed with information so that if a midwife or doctor suggests a procedure you know exactly what they mean and can ask the right questions to help you decide (provided it isn't 100% necessary).

  • I'm pretty sure I didn't poop during labor.. maybe because I had diarrhea right after my water broke... also I didn't think it really hurt when the placenta came out... that was like a drop in the bucket compared to 3 hours of pushing out a baby for me.
  • Stuck in a box...ugh...agreed with everyone above on the pooping. I thought about it before I went into labor and really hoped that it didn't happen...fast forward to post-labor and I actually couldn't tell you if I pooped or not with DS. There was SO much coming out of there, that poop was the least of my concern. I was exhausted after 3 hours of pushing, looked like complete shit, and far nastier things were exiting my body than a pile of poop. The placenta is pretty gnarly.

    FTM, so no experience with anything regarding labor, but I'm not too worried about pooping. It seems like a natural thing to happen during all of that and probably would be the last thing on my mind while pushing a watermelon out of my vagina. I would be a little embarrassed if H had to clean up, but not really. He's been there for me when I have my hiatal hernia episodes, which are not pretty, and due to where we worked previously, he's had to change a lot of adult diapers and clean the individual up. So, I think he'd be okay in the moment, maybe a little scarred for life having to do that for his wife, but hey the end result is a baby so its all good! 

    ETA: I want the drugs...all of them. With the issues I have with my back, I've always figured I would get them.

  • I did pee all over myself over and over and they still decided to straight cath me. I was like I'm peeing just fine here ladies and the only reason I didn't throw up is they kept the anti nausea stuff flowing! @lrwardrop I felt like my placenta just plopped out with out any effort I felt like I passed a huge load of jello. I never knew placenta birth can be difficult too until after
  • The placenta didn't bother me, but the after birth cramping and the "massages" from the nurses are no fun. Definitely not looking forward to those for a third time!

  • I don't even remember the placenta part. like at all, I assume they had me push another time, but I was more concerned with the issues surrounding DD at the time so that could have been why it is missing from my memory.
