Yeah, so I birthed

StephcaraStephcara
in May 2011 Moms

a poop. yup, I said it. It was one of those where I was truly holding onto the bowl for dear life. I was past magazine status, I was too busy concentrating. I drink water like a fish, eat well, lots of fiber, exercise, yeah I know, right?  What else can I do?  I am sore and wiped out from this afternoon. It was truly similar to labor.  The worst part, it was small. Crying

    I did the same thing the other day. I thought if this is what labour is like, then I better get an epidural...

    I had one of those not too long ago.  Now I have five prunes a day and a fiber one bar and everything is soooo much better.  Good luck!

    Thanks girls. I do the fiber ones, fiber one cereal, veggies, prunes,fruits (well, not all at once) and WATER.  I have not had one of these birthing poops in awhile but today put me over the edge.  My stomach muscles are still sore.  Well, I look at it as a labor dry run.  Yes

    I have food babies every once and a while, too.

    Most of the time my semi-regular poops are the product of a bowl of Fiber One, a gallon of water a day, and my morning cup of coffee. 

    Other times, I'm crying in the bathroom praying the neighbors don't hear. Let me know what your doctor says. I'm to embarrassed to ask.

    So sorry... but I have been there too (and been afraid I'd need a episiotomy to get it out).  Now I am deathly afraid, especially since my OB upped my iron supplement due to slight anemia, and I'm not supposed to strain (shortened cervix). 

    I hope you don't have any more food babies!  Feel better.

    Ugh! I had those all the time with DS. Crying, doing labor breathing, stripped down to just a tank top holding on for dear life. I remember thinking "labor has to be something like this" and it really was. I've been lucky this time, hasn't happened as much. Its awful...

    Oh man, this happened to me at work yesterday.  I kept thinking, well at least for birth I can have an epidural if I want and I was on the fence but after yesterday's experience I might have been swayed.

     I have felt your pain.... it is awful. Luckily I have been home both times. I'm concerned they may return though because with the GD diagnosis I'm not allowed to have my fiber one ceral anymore, so I have a fiber one bar or a fiber one yogurt once a day but other than that, not much other than whole grain bread. I also got put on iron supplements.... Metamucil here I come I guess.

    I'm sure glad I'm planning on an epidural though.....
