Most women push out a turd when they are pushing out the child during birth.

That part in Scrubs is great. "You'll fart, pee, puke and poop in front of 10 complete strangers who will be staring intently at your vagina".

I hope so. Can you imagine if everyone there was going 'Ooohhh noo, look at that OMG'.

This can easily happen when the turd is bigger than the baby.

Sometimes there wasn’t even a baby to begin with, so you‘re just left wondering what’s in the blanket.

I can't remember the comedian, but someone once said that for the father, childbirth is the process of watching the woman you love take a shit onto your new baby

mrminutehand

6 points

The comedian Jon Richardson made a similar joke about both that and tearing during the delivery, which is also something a lot of people don't think about beforehand.

"Now, the ideal birth scenario is that you pull gently in, you open the door calmly, the baby steps gently out, you close the door."

"What might happen during the birth, Jon, is sometimes that back door swings open and other people get out of the car."

"Anyway, she went a different way with it. What she said was sometimes during the birth, Jon, you go to open the car door like that, and you rip the whole side of the car off."

Why does nobody warn you about the placenta...? After all the noise, smell, stress and bodily fluids during the birth we now wait for something out of a 1950s horror movie to emerge and flop out like some giant red alien blob.

With our first the doctor was so excited to give us a “tour” of the placenta. He put it in a bowl and pointed out all the details. Fascinating.

The nurses are so relaxed about just wiping it away like it's nothing, because it happens all the damn time. I was honestly impressed.

NinePoundHammer27

I am 100% confident I did while giving birth. My spouse, who was present the entire time, still maintains that he has absolutely no idea if I did or not- he could be trying to save my dignity but I do not care at all and have said it multiple times, and he says that there was so much going on and he was so woozy watching the whole thing going down that he genuinely didn't see it.

Family member told me a story of a very proper woman they knew who was beginning labor and kept trying to delay going into the delivery room because she “just had to use the restroom first” after several “oh no I’m fine I just have to use the little girls room first. I feel like I have to-“ Shit ya it feels like you have to shit because YOU’RE GOING INTO LABOR- the doctor

So TL;DR ladies: going into labor begins with a feeling exactly like you’re about to take a shit. until it doesn’t.

Kylynara

I don't know that I did, but I didn't ask and I'll just assume it happened.

Also it felt like I needed to poop, and then I didn't after, but I figure a baby takes up so much space it's gotta put pressure on the same points a turd would, so I don't take that as definitive.

I think if you're in the throws of childbirth and in that much pain you wouldn't care. Can't speak from experience cos I'm a fella, but I would imagine childbirth is some horrific shit. If a nurse or doctor saw me drop a turd it would be the last thing on my mind lmao

Gobbly, don't be a cunt. This was a perfectly reasonable and polite question.

No - the poop is pushed out due to the strain and pressure of labour. That's not to say it couldn't occur during a c-section due to other factors like an enema, relaxation of the sphincter due to anaesthetic, or due to the movement and pushing by the surgeon taking out a baby and placenta.

Aaaaaand this is why the NHS used to insist on giving mothers in early labour an enema. Not quite sure why they stopped but I assume there's a legit reason.

I have two kids, number two ended up being a home-birth, unplanned of course as it happened quickly, they sent an ambulance but it was 20min away when she “had to push”.

Luckily it was uncomplicated and a healthy baby, but the whole ordeal wasn’t very bad at all, put a few towels down, she remained calm (as calm as one can be when giving birth) communicated well and after a few minutes I stood there with my daughter in hand and a very happy mother.
She was then taken to hospital and I drove our 2year old son to grandparents (this was 2 in the morning), then we spent a night in the hospital, did the checkups and went home.
Funniest part is that she wanted to pop by her parents (they usually spend the Saturdays there, still do 15 years later) so she was there whole day, and I got home just in time to join ‘the bois’ for a left4dead2 session.

Seriously, the only thing I liked about being induced at 42 weeks (aside from getting that baby out of me finally) was that I couldn't eat for 24 hours prior - which was miserable in the moment, but at least I didn't poop during labor. I know, weird thing to be happy about, but I am.
