    my MW just scooped it out with a sieve and put it in a bucket. DH got rid of it the next day when EVERYTHING (apart from pool) was wrapped up and taken to the tip. So I didn't even see it. I was only aware of one time she scooped some out. They don't talk about it, it's just dealt with.

    It's beyond your control anyway. Imagin you had a post-pack tube, then stickytaped a tube of toothpaste in it. And then tried to pass a cricket-ball through the tube. Nothing you can do, toothpaste has to squeeze out to let the ball (head) through!

    I ran and sat on the toilet before I got in the pool. MW said "don't you DARE push", but I knew it wasn't the baby.....so no pool poo for me!

    I sat on the loo too. Bloody hurts while going and having a contraction at the same time! But because my labour started so suddenly and was so quick, my body hadn't cleaned itself out before labour. Sorry if TMI. I REALLY needed to get in the bath when i hit transition, so it was inevitable.
