own up who pooed while pushing

[3kidsisquiteenuff]

im ashamed to say that yes i did poo when pushing my daughter out which i might add was simply mortifying!!!.im gonna say it was beacause my daughter was in the back to back posistion (just to make myself feel better )but the truth of the matter is when your told to push as though your doing a poo its inevitable that its gonna happen.ooh the shame

i pooed when pushing with DS and the midwife just placed a wet wipe over my bum i vaguely remember laughing "ive just pood", she said "at least i know your pushing properly"

I pooed in a big way with dd (think river of diarrhoea). I was aware of it and I did care. The mw was lovely about it though,and just wiped it away.
I was really worrying about it happening again with ds but thankfully it didn't.

My advice-don't eat weetabix in early labour!

i kept saying 'i'm going to p......'
DH and MW: 'you're going to puke? do you need a bowl?'
Me: NO! I'M GOING TO POO!!!

and i did.

With almost every contraction for about an hour Just felt really sorry for the MW who was cleaning it up and DH having to watch.

lol at that ineedsomesleep well at least i only did it once and am glad dh was'nt there .i think he would of forgiven me he has had to deal with my bodily fluids before ,a few weeks after we met i was staying at his place and i had food poisoning and had the runs all over his bed!!!!!!!!!!1 oh the shame

Doesn't everyone poo when pushing?

I usually have the runs & vomit a lot just before I get the urge to push, but even so, DH is now well practiced with the sieve. He'd be bored if there was nothing to do.

I did. My two MWs were generally not particularly nice but they did whip it away without my husband seeing. In fact I made an oblique reference to it afterward just to check and he was horrified by the thought (I quickly denied it of course ).
Before giving birth it was the thing I feared most. () I could not believe all the posts that said that I wouldn't give a metaphorical s**t at the time. How right they were!

Too posh to poo

I had water births both times and was terrified of a big log floating past

I interrogate ask dh every now and then if I did poo, and he swears I didn't.

I love dh

Identity, me too! Normally I would be on www.poshmums.net. Thought I would have a look at MN and just wanted to fit in

Oh god, I had a midwife and an obstetrician peering quizzically at my nether regions and asking 'have you been constipated?' before something got cleared away. All that stuff about 'don't be embarrassed, they've seen it all before', they didn't LOOK like they'd seen it all before. Still didn't care though.

I didn't first time round, but mooed and pooed with DD2.

Me.

Boy did I poo
Homebirth (until last minute transfer) and I suddenly felt err different type of pushing and leapt (yes, apparently I leapt) out of the bath and sat on the loo. I remember sitting on my toilet while the 2 MWs on duty stood at the end of the corridor watching me (geez, it was horrible and I am glowing red thinking about it now) and one of them asking "are you doing a poo dear? just look down for us and check what is there..." oh the shame! I then had an almighty contractions straight after and pulled the toilet rail holder off the wall so violently the wall needed replastering...

I peed, pooed and puked and didn't give a monkeys

no poo...

but like rosegarden i peed a ridiculous amount. when it wouldn't stop, the midwife (on the other side of the room) asked me if it was wee or waters.

i hadn't a clue.

but later on when i had to turn over, i was expecting soggy bed, but it was all gone. didn't even think about it at the time. but she must of taken it away.

Hi DCMB (I've been stalking you) looking forward to our meet up this week!

Oh Saggers, I Mooed too, I was more ashamed of that than pooing, (I was expecting the poo!)

I did, and despite people saying it doesn't matter, my midwife looked at me quite disgusted, and I had to actualy ask for a tissue.

my midwife was a bitch. made a formal complaint about her.

I think I pood witrh DS1 cant remember, I know they changed the pads under me but could have been blood?

I KNOW I poo'd with DS2, homebirth in a pool and poor DH with a fishing net!!

I never saw it though, too busy breathing!

I didn't with ds, or dd1.

I did did with dd2, it sank in the pool and the mw's couldn't see it in the dim lighting. By the time dh came to emptying the pool (it was a hb) it had disintegrated...

I'll probably be lowering here (if I possibly can) But I actually enjoyed the pooing as it gave me a sense of relief, Like I had something else to concentrate on, and a focus on where to push! At the time I thought, if I didn't need a poo I'd just get piles, so whats worse?? One of my BF's is a midwife (thankfully not on duty when DS was born) and she warned me what might happen, and said it was 'normal' so not to worry, so I didn't!

Supposed to say Lowering the tone!

No poo-ing but lots of moo-ing from me!!! In fact we used "moo" as my pain word for dh to time my contractions (we had to do something to keep us amused - he was timing them for 2 days - as a result I think I got all my poo-ing done in the safety of my own toilet - there was nothing left by the time I was allowed on the labour ward!)

Saggermakersbottomknocker, was it grim, or did you mean to ? (My Mum's from neckend!)
