I pooe'd!
I was offere a bath as I was taking soooooo long!
As soon as I hopped in the HOT bath I felt the urge to push, noone believed me, soon enough there was a tiny pooh & also blood in the water which freaked me out, so I climbed out & went back to the room, where they looked & sure enough I had gone from 3cm to 9cm in about 15 mins whilst getting to the bath in the bath & back again.....
I could not have cared less! When the time comes you will realise that a little poo here & there is no big deal to the nurses or yourself! You would not have cared if it was in the middle of the Olympics ona wide screen all you care about is pushing, breathing & concentrating!!!

One Tip I found really helped the pain, was as the head was crowning to put a sanitary napkin run under hot water as a compress against the 'chinese burn' feeling down there & WALA!!! no pain or stretching feelings!!!! Will be doing that again!!!!
