I'm not encouraging it, but I tried it with both my kids and it DID make contractions come on and V E R Y strong with diarrhea 😷 . my daughter did poop inside me and was in NICU our entire stay (only two days ) other than the pooping, she was healthy 9 lbs and no health issues. nothing was wrong with my son either. i wouldn't risk it with my third baby though, God blessed me twice !
