Help pooing in the bath (no not me)

[adath]

DD was 3 last Sunday and have been trying to get her potty trained for ages now. We have had little success until yesterday when she realised she needed to go, went to the potty and peed all off her won back. She also must have a badder of steel as she can go ages without going and when I have had to put a nappy on her to go out she has gone once in that then saves it up for her bath at night.
That is not the only thing she saves. The past 2 nights she has pooed in the bath this is something she has done before on previous attempts to potty train, DP bathed her tonight ans she actually got herself into the same squat she uses when in a nappy but he never go her out in time to get her on the loo.
I am at a loss as to what to do, usually she is in a nappy during the day for a short trip out but she is saving it for her bath time.
Any tips anyone???

Adath,
Try not to freak out too much - my 3-year-old still does it on occassion - much to her dads horror and disgust (men just can't handle anything to do with the bowels at all can they?!) She's in 'big girl pants' in the day but still manages just as you've got her in the bath to say she needs the toilet! I don't think shes doing it on purpose - they just don't have any sense of timing! Maybe its time to ditch the nappies completely in the day (scary I know) as a few accidents yucky that they are might re-enforce that the potty or toilet are the places you do wee wees and poos - nowhere else. Fingers crossed!

Well we have pretty much in the space of a day ditched the nappies with no accidents.
She just seemed to do it literally overnight. That includes poos.
She was at creceh today for an hour and half and went to the toilet before we left, I did put her in a pull up and they did offer her the potty but she never managed anything and did not wee agin until the way home, back in pants we have had no accidents.
I really thought we would still be battling this out but she has been fab and I cannot take the credit she has done it herself.

Maybe the warm bath is relaxing her a little too much

The arm bath thing is exactly what I thought actually and she was not able to hold on anymore.
