XP Confession

So I have been holding my poops in because I am afraid of going.

My fear is that I'll end up pushing too hard and I'll push the baby out into the toilet.

How do you handle going poop?

really!? you won't do that...just take a stool softener and drink lots of water. eat veggies and fiber to help get things moving. just make sure you're drinking lots of water. just go as much as you can without having to push so hard. 

you'll make yourself sick before you push your baby into the toilet.

I don't know... haven't you seen I didn't know I was pregnant? Happens all the time on that show.

I have an idea... I recently bought some of those lingerie bags for the baby socks and stuff... you know the mesh bag kinds... maybe you can keep one of those by the toilet in case!

Is this your first? It takes a whole lot
More effort than that to push out a baby.

Ha. Ha.  It's a joke right?  Because, you know, poop comes from your rectum and babies come from your vagina/cervix after very long and painful labors filled with contractions that move them through birth canals and generally take hours and hours...

You guys shouldn't laugh. My baby was born on a toilet. It happens and you're being really insensitive.

Be better if it were just your hand, then you could feel if you were indeed pushing out the baby.

In all seriousness, do a pps suggested do what you can to make pooping easier. Talk to your dr at your next appt about your fear of having the baby on the toilet and if you are still worried,  go home, spend hours cleaning your toilet and then make a habit of cleaning it every time before you use it, so if the worst happens at least it is cleaner than most toilets.

Not necessarily. Some women don't know they're in labor until the baby is RIGHT THERE. My friend who works at a hospital had a woman come in and pop goes the baby at her desk. My own mother didnt feel contractions with me until it was time to push, and I was out in something like 3 pushes. If her water hadn't broke she would have had no idea.

And, the way you bear down to push a baby out is very similar to pushing out a turd. The sensation you get when ready to push can be easily confused with needing to crap. So if you're having a very stubborn bowel movement... You could end up leaving more than just poo in the toilet, if you know what I mean.

 Same thing with my mom, except she didn't realize her water had broken. She ruptured on top, and had a slow leak. She thought she kept peeing herself/wasn't wiping well enough. I was out on the second push.

Ummm I think the bottom line is you really don't have a choice. You have to poop eventually.  I guess if you want to hold it alllll in until you're on the delivery table, you can try.

Well, goodness, I hope this second baby is one where I don't even know I'm in labor.  I've never heard of such a thing!  Please, God, please.  I'll have a baby in the toilet if it means less than 30 hours of sobbing labor!  I still don't think this was a real question though...if so, you really need to stop worrying and just poop.

Okay, regardless if this is MUD. has it never crossed your mind even for a millisecond while having a constipated moment that if you pushed too hard baby would pop out.  Even so. if this is real, you need to poop because your rectum will forget how to poop.  You can relearn to pee but you cannot relearn to poop.  As for having a baby when going to the bathroom, had a friend who was in the hospital at 26 weeks because she was having complications.  She felt funny and went to the bathroom, needless to say, the baby came out.  So having a fear of going to the bathroom while pregnant is very real for some FTM's.  Just go to the bathroom, because the more you hold off, the more it hurts and could create more complications than baby falling out.

I'm sorry, but LOL.

I am kind of afraid of hemorrhoids. But if I gotta go, I gotta go. And do. Constipation isn't healthy, bro.

keep hydrating yourself and eat plenty of fruits and veggies!!! It'll slide right out of you without having to push!! If that doesn't work, start using hot sauce on what you eat!!!

At this point, I'd be more worried about the 6+ pound hemorrhoid that you will be delivering.  I'm pretty sure that's inevitable at this point.

Just poop. If you accidentally push out your baby, then congrats! You had a pain-free labor!

Ha, funny you say this because I know it won't happen but sometimes I feel the same thing!  I don't hold it - but the thought does cross my mind, especially since with #1 my OB said "push like you're making a bowel movement" LOL

I always tell my husband that girls don't poop. "Our butts are for decoration, like men's nipples," I say.

I vote hold it 'til baby's here - then let 'er rip in the delivery room.

Constipation is nothing to mess around with. If you don't poop soon you'll end up with an impaction and then you might have to have a dr/nurse stick their fingers up your butthole to fish out your turds. I would rather birth my baby in the bathroom.
