@Jessiethelesbiann my heart breaks for you. No one truly understands until they are in our shoes. I'm praying for you and this baby, after all she has angels looking out for her. 💟

@njf1216, yeah some of the "fears" on here is like why are you even worried about that..
@jessiethelesbiann im so sorry for your loss.. that would scare me too.. and lately ive been seeing alot of stillborn babies and it scares me to death.. i don't understand these fears that people have. im more worried about my baby coming out healthy then i am of anything else.. and your right you cant control labor. you could go in thinking your having a natural birth and end up having a c-section it all depends on the baby

Seriously I had twin stillborns and what scares me is my daughter now being a stillborn. if I poop, I poop oh well doctor's see it every single day. They won't embarrass you, they will clean it up and go about getting your baby safely out. Some of the fears I see on here are so ridiculous it makes no sense, you can't control labor, or birth...

Glad your head is in the right place. A healthy baby should be top priority for everyone because too much can happen that we cannot control.

@alyen2, yep my doctor was like its not a big deal.. and if your doing it right you will poop.. if you dont push right you have a higher chance of ripping...

There's nothing wrong with pooping during labor. It's so common. My OB said they're happy when people poop because it means they're using the right muscles to push.

@njf1216, im so sorry for your loss.. and yeah pooping during labor is like not on my list of concerns at all.. Im more worried what could happen to my child.. I almost lost my son 11 years ago cause his umbilical cord was chocking him.. im more worried avout things like that

Agreed!

I told mine I was gonna poop she said no honey just push I said ok be ready 😭 plop it was over before I knew it

Coming from someone who has had a stillbirth, the concerns I see on here drive me crazy.

@lilanne1927, awe :-( im sorry sweetie.. i mean it happens alot and your doctor is used to it. i actually talked to my doctor about it cause i was curious.. she was like there is no shame in it.. it happens pushing out a baby takes alot.. she says 7 to 8 out of 10 women will poop.. and i bet you would have never known if your mom didnt tell you :-) the doctor wobt tell you they just clean you up and go about delivering the baby..

i totally agree with u

TMI but I did and didn't even realize it tell mom told me after I got into my room. I was so embarrassed to look my doctor in the face lol.
