Is it common to go #2 when your pushing your baby out?

Question

Did this happen to anyone?

Answer 1

Oh yeah.. And don't worry about it.  It happens cause they tell you to push with your bum and not with your face.  As weird as that sounds.  Giving birth is really one of the grossest thing I have ever done.  But it was also one of my proudest moments.  Sure I pooped but I pushed out a human being!

Answer 2

yes it is very common.and i did..it was embarrassing but they see it everyday..don't worry about it..i actually did not even know what happened at first i said "what was that. . .eww that's gross"..i do not think it s gross everyone does it and most do in labor

Answer 3

the nurses are really cool about it and just clean it up asap without making it an issue.

Answer 4

lol I've been wondering this too, cuz someone told me that their friend did. So I'm gonna star this.

Answer 5

I havent but I get worried it will happen to me, but yes it is common.

Answer 6

It is common.

I don't even know if I did or not.

At that point in time that was the farthest thing from my mind.

Answer 7

It is very common... but it's not how you might picture it.  If you do happen to poo a little bit, they discretely wipe it away and remove the pad under your bum if necessary.  Remember... there are a lot of other fluids on the pad too.  Youwill be so consumed with getting the baby out, that pooing will be the last thing on your mind.
