😂😂 the comments about pooping , really? That's definitely not the reason.. pooping is natural during child birth and will not hurt anyone,
but having to be put under and choking on your vomit is the #1 reason.
Anesthetics and other drugs can make you vomit and if you're unconscious you will swallow and more than likely inhale it. If you inhale your own vomit there are a lot of complications it causes from infection and all kinds of other possibilities.
They might have to put you on oxygen and put tubes down your throat in an maternal emergency postpartum/during delivery for you if you have trouble breathing or something or they might need to do a C-section
You poop when you push a baby put period lol all women have done it some time or another having babies it is so you don't throw up they don't need you choking
