s/o pee, who pooped?

roaringrock · May 2010

during birth. (takyelgif brought it up.)

don't be shy. it's not a big deal.

desabean · May 2010

guilty.

In my defense, I basically hadn't pooped for like 6 months previously to delivery so I had um, a great deal of unfinished business.

roaringrock · May 2010

I did! I was terribly constipated from all the induction meds and I couldn't help it. oh well... my ob has seen that 1,000+ times. Indifferent

MayDayGirl · May 2010

I'm pretty sure I did because I had to poop through my labor but couldn't go and then I didn't poop for a week afterward! But DH said he didn't see.. everything happened so fast... so I am going to say yes, but not certain!

Magoy · May 2010

I don't think I did. My husband (who swore he wouldn't watch, but then did) swears that there was no poo.

I DID puke. On my first set of pushes. And lots of other times during that wretched day that brought me my beautiful daughter.

Ah... labor.

krissyh21 · May 2010

I think I did. Not sure. I just remember the nurse stopping everything to clean up for a minute.

ETA - I puked several times as well.

oct11bride03 · May 2010

No idea. No one mentioned it at the time and my husband never said anything either. I probably didn't, only because I happened to go before I went into labor (thought I was having gas pains...ha!)

Did with DD, did not with DS....there wasn't time too LOL

InACitySoNice · May 2010

I didn't, but that's only because before dd #1 was born, the nurse gave me an enema. Worked like a charm and about an hour later, I was holding the baby!

With dd #2, a day before labor started, I swore the barista at my local bakery had slipped me caffeinated coffee instead of my usual decaf because I was a human sh!t storm. I pooed my heart out so I was empty by the time the baby arrived.

SeaSoul · May 2010

oh, i pooped, alright. a LOT. all day long during early labor, and most definitely while pushing. no big deal.

pooed my heart out..... lol!!!

GuitaristsGirl · May 2010

Um, yeah. Considering I had a fourth degree tear, there was basically no stopping it. Lovely. Thank goodness for the drugs, I hardly realized it at the time. I was a nervous wreck about it.

pinkcallalily · May 2010

I know I did because I felt it come out, but at that point I really didn't care. Actually, I guess it was the last time I went (somewhat) comfortably. I had a 4th degree tear and it still hurts everytime I go.

emmyloustu · May 2010

I pooped a lot during early labor, but I was home. Dh said no poop during pushing though.

I threw up during transition.

futureMrs.Eanes · May 2010

I honestly don't know. I told the nurse I was afraid of doing it and she said that would just mean I was pushing right. I pushed for 2.5 hours, so I wouldn't be surprised if I did!

Mrs.Greenie · May 2010

I did not. (so I hear)

I threw up several times.

Carrie25 · May 2010

I did when I was pushing with the nurse. She made no big deal about it, I was more embarrassed. That's what happens when you push for almost 4 hours!

alison43 · May 2010

i think so.

marcuej · May 2010

No, I never did poop but Ben said I let out a few good farts!

I had a really easy delivery and in between every push, I would sit up and ask my DH, "Did I poop yet?". He couldn't believe I was even asking. I pushed 5 times total and I asked between each one.

roaringrock · May 2010

you guys make me laugh... Stick out tongue

charmcitygirl · May 2010

Yup. I didn't know that I did until I smelled it. I just ignored it and DH and I have laughed about it since then!

scally · May 2010

I don't think so, and Dh said he didn't see anything. But I went right before I got the epi...I guess that should have been a sign I was almost ready!

nickoletta100 · May 2010

not that I am aware of but I did tell DH that he was to not tell me what he saw going on down there!

This, sort of. There was a moment where I thought, "Did they just wipe something away?" They were very discreet and quick, and I know if so, it was very little and DH didn't see it.

OMG, this whole thing has me cracking up!

jenber77 · May 2010

Yup, a little bit with each push for a while. I was aware of it happening and of the nurse wiping it away, but somehow I didn't care.

Germanwife2b · May 2010

I announced that I had pooped at least twenty times during my 4 hours of pushing but the midwives kept looking and they would say, "Nope hon, that's just the pressure of the baby's head you feel." I really and truly thought I pooped sitting at my kitchen table, eating meatballs while pushing! Guess not :-)

ha!!! isn't funny as many times as you've heard that the urge to push feels just like the urge to have a BM, when it's actually happening you do NOT recognize it! i kept thinking (even though i'd been pooping all day) "if i can just get this poop out of the way, i'll finally be able to push the baby out!!"

sweetpea18 · May 2010

I don't think I did.

I had a stomach bug a few days before I went into labor and I'm pretty sure my system was still empty.

My epi worked too well and I felt nothing. Besides asking dh if my leg was on the bed, I kept telling him that I was probably pooping myself and not even realizing it.
