LOL- oh, I pooped. Not alot, and I was surprised, but obviously in a situation where I couldn't do anything about it!

Both, lol! It happened last delivery, but I was soooo stuck in my labor fog at the time, I had no idea it happened, and no one said anything about it to me either. The only way I found out about it was because of a spot on my leg that I saw in my herbal bath after delivery. I don't have a problem fessin up to it, but no one else said anything about it, so if not for the spot on my leg, I'd have had NO idea to know I had something "to admit" lol!

Same with me.    I found out later because my DH said I did.   Someone scooped it out of the tub, apparently!  
But I will totally admit it.   I have seen other moms do it, too...    never any big deal.

this is my third and i'm completely unconcerned with wether i poop while i push or not.  with my first i was so worried about it, that it actually stalled my labor at some point....  this time, i couldn't care less.

 Sure, it's natural so I don't see it being a big deal... I'll probably do it again this time too lol

Same here too, lol! Hubby didn't even know I don't think. He was focusing his attention to my head, not anything going on "down there". I was like "what is on my leg?!" when I noticed it in my herbal bath after birth. I suppose I could deny it and pretend it was blood, but I'm pretty sure it was poo, lol! Oh well. Shit happens!

 I pooped and it was not the solid kind.  :) I couldn't have cared less and was totally unconcerned when I wasn't able to wipe my own bottom. My midwives didn't even mention it. Happens all the time.

Well I 'went' like 4 times before I started pushing, & hadnt eaten anything for over 20hrs before pushing.
So I had nothing left to come out.  I asked my DH & the nurses if I had pooped.  They said no. so they either lied or I had nothing left to come out! lmao.
I hope I dont poop this time......I know they see it all the time, but it still weirds me out.
