    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.

    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

    Forgot to mention too that I pooed in the shower when I was labouring with DD and DH took a photo of it going down the plughole
