Re: For anyone who has had a baby

I know the poll is closed but just adding in my experience for future readers...

I did, and my daughter did on the way out too. I thought it was highly amusing and wasn't embarrased at all, especially considering the pushing stage only took 15 minutes (first baby). Hubby wasn't fussed by it at all, he actually watched most of the time when she was coming out.

I hope you and the little one are doing well.

I had my first child in March of 1983 and it was standard then to give you an enema during "prep", they also shaved you. So when my second child was born in December of 1988 it was quite nice they did not do either of these. But I didn't poo either so all was well.

Re: For anyone who has had a baby

I know you've already had the baby but I asked my mother (who has delivered quite a few babies) and she said it's common --- but that many of the people who poo while giving birth don't notice because if they're pushing hard enough to poo, they're pretty involved in what they're doing.

As MelissaAnn said, some ladies probably don't know they've done it. I can't really see a nurse/doctor deciding to point it out in the middle of childbirth. "Okay... good! Push.. push... you just pooped... push..." It would be distracting and there's really no point.

Re: For anyone who has had a baby

I didn't hahaha, but I DID throw up all over myself! And I had a catheter as well. It was gross and not even covered. So everyone who came to visit me that day had to stare at this enormous bag of pee ahahahahaha!

My step mom did with my little bro. She kept asking my dad (mid-push), "Did I just poop?! Did I poop?! Omg, I pooped didn't I?!". And he was like, "No, you didn't *lying*. She was like, "Liar! I can smell my shit!"

LMAO!

But yeah, the doctors are soooo used to it. They're super fast at wrapping it up in the multiple sheets they have under and around you, they scoop it up and shove it out of the way. Have you even seen the laundry bin after you give birth?! Its FILLED with sheets, blankets and gowns.

There are a lot more gross things that come out other than poop. My bf was traumatized! Haha. I asked what birth looked like and his only answer was "Colourful".

He explained later that the nurse totally inserted her whole hand in there and scooped out all the "goo" to clean me out. Yuck.

OMG about the inserting her hand!! wow...just..wow.

my husband took everything surprisingly well, he said he actually enjoyed everything, but then again, he's a sensitive guy and thinks i can do no wrong

Re: For anyone who has had a baby

I'm quite surprised with this... I don't have children but here in Spain they give you an enema too, like in Denmark. Maybe this is an european thing?

Re: For anyone who has had a baby

Congrats on your new baby!

I have a daughter and didn't, but then again- I could hardly feel a thing with the epi- I could've been lied too haha. I didn't eat solids for like 2 days before I went in though, so that probably helped.

But I actually follow a neonatal surgeon and an OBGYN occassionally and it's definitely a common thing.

Re: For anyone who has had a baby

I had a C-section too, nothing happened during the 45 minutes. It was so fast!
My husband and the doctor told me before I knew it that the baby was going to come out and here she was. We could hear her.
Then, the longest was really the time that they take to remove the placenta and all the some residue left in the uterus. Within 2 weeks, your own body will get rid of some more blood as if you had a period, and your belly gets back to normal. Well, it was the case for me.
It is nature. There is a lot of blood invloved, just don't look.
The Dr and nurses covered me up. I didn't look except the one weird picture that my hubby took.
But it is so worth it at the end! We have this precious little one that we made and waited for so long!!! Don't be scared but details, think about how happier it makes you.
Only drawback: beware of allergies to some medications. I believe that I got an allergy to the peridurale meds. They are supposed to make you itch a little the day after, but I had a terrible rash. I know for next time. I will specifically ask for a counter medication or something sligtly different. I hadn't asked about the side effects and I wish I had...
Congrats to the new mothers!

But I did manage to vomit on the midwife And I did somehow bleed on the oposite wall which was about 5 meters away. It ain't pretty giving birth

Is that a danish thing to get an enema when going in to labour?
They used to do it in the States too. Just before they shaved your hoohah

I have had 2 kids and didn't poop while giving birth to either. My husband for some reason was sure I would. I think he was just trying to make me nervous. But I wasn't worried about it. I mean, for Christ's sake I was pushing a child out of my body. Who cares if you poop?!

I didn't but it might have been becauae I only pushed for like 5 minutes when he was born (he was a tiny baby). I was also present at my cousin's delivery and she didn't either. But I hear it's actually very common.

I did and I felt embarrassed about it even tho I knew it was probably going to happen. I was in labour for 33 hours and nothing came out before that so yeah, I kinda new beforehands but it was still weird.
