Agree with whats been said, especially Kelly.
I was terrified of pooing during labour, but it just didnt happen, I was lucky enough to go hours before labour LOL...
Vomiting was bad for me though, I had to chomp on ice to help it.

yeah, what they said!!!i was so constipated in the last few weeks that when i was pushing i just remember my midwife saying ''oh, you are constipated!" at the time i thought 'how the hell can she tell' afterwards my DH told me i had pood!!!! didnt even notice!

haha.. I wee'd and poo'd having DD and we had a laugh about it at the time. I didn't care. Knowing that the baby feels like a ginormous poo until it actually crowns I was saying "I can feel it.. it feels like a poo" and the OB said "well there's some of that too"... and quickly disposed of it. I just laughed and said oh, sorry about that! LOL. The wee squirted everywhere!! I thought it was just part of my waters as the OB was helping DD's head out, but DH assures me it was wee.
and FWIW.. she was a spontaneous labour and my prelabour was vomiting not pooing so there was no cleansing done for me! I did have the runs for 2 days before having DS tho and didn't wee or poo during labour.
Worrying about it tho can be counterproductive, coz as I said before.. the baby feels like a giant poo and if you're worried about actually pooing, you might be inclined to hold it in and not let the baby out! Just go for it.. you won't care... the midwives/OB won't care. Just laugh it off if it happens

Seriously don't worry about it. Easier said than done I know but if it happens they are so blase. Even my OB cleaned up after me

i certainly was embarassed about been naked or pooing, i was more embarassed when i remembered talking to my midwife and dr about not stitching too close to the 'good bits' i.e clitoris (had a labial tear) whilst high on gas!

I reckon you'd be less likely to poo in labour if you have a non-induced birth. In early labour, most women get the runs, their body is clearing out for the impending birth. But if you are induced, you haven't started that process, so it would be interesting to see the difference... I know that happened to me, I had the runs, and no probs with anything else coming out in labour.

I had similar thoughts when I was preparing for DDs birth but when I was very unexpectedly admitted to hospital with PE and inductions were being bantied about I got very worried about pooing during labour because I wouldn't get the runs etc that you normally do in natural labour.
I went into hossie on Friday afternoon - on Saturday morning I made sure I emptied my bowels in case I was induced that day but I wasn't induced. On Sunday morning I made sure I emptied my bowels but I couldn't (slight constipation) and then they told me that that was the day I would be induced due to my liver function and I pannicked
During labour I kept asking to go to the toilet... I never did get that poo out on the toilet or in the throws of labour but I did reach a point where I would not have cared if I did.
The next day though I was a pooping machine LOL

FWIW, I went into labour naturally, never cleared out before labour, and didn't poo during

I wish this had happened to me! Both my labours were spontaneous. Maybe I'll make the effort to go when I first get contractions this time around. Even though second time around I wasn't embarrassed...I did have an "oh no, I've pooed" moment.

:yeahthat: I was so horribly constipated from all the iron tablets I was taking to try to get on top of the anemia that there was no way I was going to go until I needed to go, if that makes any sense. When I did poo during labour (shortly after I was put on my knees over the end of the bed), it was so hard and dry and pellety that nobody was aware I had except me - I had to ask the midwife to clean me up.
As for the "good bits"... More... I tore straight through my clitoris. It still works.
