This might be TMI but....
is anyone else afraid of having a bowel movement during birth? I wonder how common this is.

Re: This might be TMI but....
There were a few posts on this....
I hear it is quite common & they clean it up so quickly that you don't even know it happened.
Jenny McCarthy talks about this in her book Belly Laughs.

Re: This might be TMI but....
it's pretty common from the type of pushing you are doing.....
I hadn't eaten all day so I escaped the embarassment (at least I think so...)

Re: This might be TMI but....
Yes, it totally grosses me out! I ask my best friend if she did, and her response was, " Umm...just about the whole 2 hours I was pushing!" She said that she hadn't eaten anything either.

Re: This might be TMI but....
At this point, I really just don't care.
I am going to be spread eagle on the table. I don't want to see anything and DH will be by my side/head.
I am usually very prude but like many people had warned me... you just don't care when you are on the table during childbirth. I think I can believe it now that I am PG.

Re: This might be TMI but....
Although, my Bradley teacher reassured me that your rectum gets so compressed while giving birth because you are pushing a baby out, and the baby pushes everything out of the way, that the chance of anything else coming out is really slim... the rectum essentially is closed when you feel the most pressure (and when you feel most like you are about to "go") so I'm thinking that it doesn't happen that often, and its not like a big poop on the delivery table!!!

Re: This might be TMI but....
I have come to the conclusion that there is not such thing as TMI on this board
And yes, I am not a fan of this happening. I just hope I am too distracted to notice it
