despite expecting to, i didnt poo, throw up, or wee.

that may seem lucky, but on the other hand, i had a very long and difficult birth.
i think its because he basically didnt get to push on my against my bowel.

Also ds was overdue and because i knew his birth was imminent i made sure i went regularly.

i wouldnt have been bothered if i had, because i knew that it would be messy.(thanks to mnetters warnings!)

Pooed loads, poor midwives were constantly changing the mats underneath me. I didn't care a jot, as was too busy screaming "Get it out!" "It" is asleep upstairs, my rather gorgeous 4 month old ds.

Pooed both times.... didn't give a rat's arse at the time and still don't (and I can be quite prudish). DH said it was a very neat and tidy one...... Really you are so focused on getting the baby out, you don't care.

Funny story of my friend giving birth on all fours, did a HUGE poo as the head emerged! Her DH still cracks up about it, luckily she also thinks it's hilarious!

...and no-one out of the four people with me noticed ...until I hollered about it

Meeeeeeeeeeee!! I did, I did .

Only once during one of my four births which is a shame really because it turned out to be my most favourite comedy birthing moment and the only time I swore (copiously) throughout.

through up

Try threw up.....

I through up loads to, the first time was due to the fact i had a bad reaction to the G&A and had effectivley poisened myself.

The second time i was only sick a couple of times but was on strong antibiotics for Grop Strep B.

I did with both of mine, imagine that especially with MIL in the room for the fist one!

By that time i didn't give a monkeys tbh, i smelt it but DP has never mentioned it my mum and i had a little giggle but not in an unfriendly way, its natural, it shows your pushing effectivley.

The Midwife says 'Push as if your going for a Poo' so thats what you do and i there is anything there it will come out.

My sister gave birth suddenly at home and my mum delivered her baby with a big Poo laying next to her the whole time.

after my waters broke, i ate a huge bowl of soup as i thought it would sustain me for the labour. however as soon as labour started it was promptly vomited up into the sink and dh had to clean it up - ewww.
