So I know everyone says 'when you are in labour you really don't care if you poop yourself', but as I did numerous times during DD2's water birth (ahhhhhh!!!!!) I can assure everyone that I did very much care. So I read on another thread that someone else used a glycerin suppository at the start of labour (it didn't help, but they were so blocked up they didn't poop in labour anyway), has anyone else tried this? Was it effective? Did it clear out their system quite quickly so they were able to concentrate on giving birth without wanting to die inside from embarrassment? Frankly the pain is enough for me to try to handle without the thought of the mw desperately trying to fish out my poop from the bath and DH pretending not to witness this additional humiliation on my part. Is there any suppositories which would be better?
