Is this one of those things that happens to every woman but nobody talks about.

5 minutes after a bath and its like your water just broke...

This is a thing yeah?

I've heard people talk about this, but never experienced it.

Randomposter · 03/05/2016 21:09

Never happened to me & I've got 4 children.

AnyFucker · 03/05/2016 21:09

Poo through the wrong hole ! Shock

Lolimax · 03/05/2016 21:10

I'd love to see how the Daily Fail covers this thread!

Morasssassafras · 03/05/2016 21:13

I do the legs up thing and have never had this happen.

waterfallfanny · 03/05/2016 21:15

yeah I'm Shock at poo through the wrong hole too. How is that even possible Hmm

dementedma · 03/05/2016 21:15

I had sections x3 as need to pee after a bath, every time!

Janefromdowntheroad · 03/05/2016 21:15

My mate has the poo through the wrong hole thing. Think it happened during birth.

Diagnosed by putting a tampon in, squirting blue dye up her arse and seeing if the tampon turned blue Shock

Think the vaginal wall gets a hole in it which leads to the rectum. Usually a birth trauma

AnyFucker · 03/05/2016 21:16

Pooing through the wrong hole sounds like some major plumbing damage like a fistula. Tell me you are getting medical advice for it !

waterfallfanny · 03/05/2016 21:17

back in the day though, I did experience the sideways tampon, more than once, fucking uncomfortable

even a double tampon too on occasion, how the fuck I did that I'll never know

as you were

AnyFucker · 03/05/2016 21:18

Sometimes I find a tampon kinda bends sideways a bit

Titsywoo · 03/05/2016 21:19

Yes. I also seem to hold onto sperm for 30 mins Blush

grumpysquash3 · 03/05/2016 21:21

Sorry to ask this, but does that mean you get a steady (slow) stream of poo out of your vagina???

Janefromdowntheroad · 03/05/2016 21:22

My mate said yes sometimes poo. Mostly farts though, thats how she first realised it was there

grumpysquash3 · 03/05/2016 21:24

The sperm thing is variable and unpredictable, I find. Two minutes to two hours. Sometimes none (confesses to once accusing DH of faking Blush)
If it's going to come out, it's usually on the bus, or at work, or down my PJ leg, never at a more convenient moment.

Frimplepants · 03/05/2016 21:25

Blush maybe I phrased that wrong. There's a layer of skin in between so I push it back in until it comes out the right hole. slightly freaked now about the possibility of an actual hole I mentioned it to the midwife who just laughed and said ,"well you can't expect it to be the same as before you gave birth." I mentioned it to the doctor at my smear when DC2 was about 18 months and he said it was because I was still breastfeeding and would clear up when I stopped due to hormonal changes. It got better, only every now and again, but then I went on the pill about a year ago and has been constant ever since. Got the impression it was something pretty normal post DC. Obviously not...

wantmorenow · 03/05/2016 21:26

Bath water always reappears at later moment..have noticed it's usually whilst I'm drying my arse! Can now 'release' my water cargo by lifting arse with towel and bending forward slightly. Very handy and kinda cool in a very weird way

grumpysquash3 · 03/05/2016 21:26

Jane
So how does she manage it?
If she uses panty liners, doesn't it smell?

Is she getting help for it?

Janefromdowntheroad · 03/05/2016 21:26

frim, you just push the poo back>?

Get yourself to a GP lady

Janefromdowntheroad · 03/05/2016 21:28

I think she was offered an operation but decided against it as it had a lot of risk. Think its cleared up quite a bit now she's stopped feeding like you said

AnyFucker · 03/05/2016 21:28

Frimple, it sounds like you might have a slight prolapse. Please go back to the GP and ask to get checked again.

It's very common. Look here

MrsJayy · 03/05/2016 21:30

Bloody nora get to the Drs you cant be pushing poo back up that is serious you could poison yourself

grumpysquash3 · 03/05/2016 21:32

I thought the poo pushing was from the vaginal side, so that it can pass down into the rectum (as in, she's not touching the actual poo, more putting pressure onto the thin adjoining wall from the side). Right? (I hope)
