Embarrassing question

Did anyone fart during labor? I just realized this can happen and I'm afraid I'll be mortified if it does.

    Yes this is possible. So is pooping during labor. Just part of the miracle of life, I suppose.

    Hahaha I was so worried about pooping and I did lol. But don't worry because when it's all happening you aren't going to care and to the doctor or midwife delivering you it isn't anything new to them, they just wipe you off and keep telling you to push :)

    BUT the gas pains after were AWFUL. I had to ask for a gas pill to help! Thank goodness for a nurse who told me what that pain was!

    I hadn't eaten in over 24 hours when I was giving birth. I did poop but it was minimal and mostly saline. My husband did see though, womp womp haha. I'm super gassy now though, 9 days pp.

    Not during labor but post partum yes! Any time the nurses would come press down to check how my uterus was contracting. I had absolutely no control over it.
    Also peeing postpartum...def peed myself the first time I got up to go to the bathroom. Again, I had no control over my bladder. I actually didn't even realize I was peeing myself at first. Childbirth does funny things to you...lol

    I thought I peed all over the table at least three times but DH said it must have been amniotic fluid. Birth is messy, and no one, least of all you, will be worried about farts. Promise.

    I used to be worried about pooping on the table. I probably did, who knows. It was the least of my concerns, which used to be unfathomable to me.

    I was totally farting last night. I couldn't help it. I'm very cautious about that stuff, I've never farted in front of DH. Last night I was like, "sorry babe, I really have to toot" and he just laughed at me cause I call it tooting. That's what happens when I work with kids for 6 years lol

    How have you never farted in front of him?! You must!! It's one of the best parts of our marriage, haha!

    Haha I just haven't, at least not knowingly. Who knows if I do it in my sleep and he hears. He, however, is a mean green tootin' machine at home #-o

    This! I knew DH was the one because I could fart in front of him! The very first time he farted in front of me he decided to Dutch oven me and since then we play the door knob safety game - where the farter has to call safety after passing gas before the other calls door knob...so cheesy and fun :)

    Once I was at the point to where I was pushing, I did not give a poo (no pun intended) if I farted or pooped! I just wanted that baby out!!

    I second @Sammy K

    I apologized in advanced and told the nurses I was sure I was going to poop everywhere, they assured me they wouldn't think about it twice and that everyone does it. Turns out I didn't, which was nice. But I really didn't care when it came time to push, your complete focus is on getting that baby out!!

    I straight up peed during a contraction. All over the floor with my husband giving me counterpresure on my back and my mom holding my arms. The nurse just swooped in, wiped it up with a chux pad and that was that.

    I farted ON my l & d nurse during delivery-- I laughed a little with her-- it was excellent comic relief because my labor was so hard.
