    Lol my friend did when she had her son!  I heard that it's really common.  I am so excited I just got news that I am going to be an aunt to a baby boy :)

    It happens most of the time so that it would strange if it didn't happen.  I work with teen mothers-to-be and they always freak out when we tell them this!

    This is actually very common!  Since most women get an epidural you cannot feel your legs and most times have no idea that you are actually going.     Nurses are actually very used to it and it really isn't a big deal to them.

    I'm just going to try to make sure I "go" before labor begins.  And maybe eat a lot of cheese!  This is getting too gross.

    Ughhh, yes I did know it and I'm sure it's going to happen to me.  I always joke with FI that our future children are going to be born into a giant pile of sh*t, haha.  Joking about it is the only way I can keep myself from being totally skeeved out.

    I've read that you can get an enema at the start of your labor to prevent this

    Thanks!!   I definitely need some more Mickey stuff!!   I almost did the whole room Mickey but my husband said no..so safari sports it is!

    And yes, I have prepared myself for labor and everything goes with it...I figure that the nurses have probably seen it all!

    After seeing the results of the poll, I should probably be ashamed that I had no idea.  Pretty grossed out at the moment, though it totally makes sense.

    The Cause: To get that baby out, you're going to have to push hard -- and that means using the same muscles and bearing down the same way you go to the bathroom. (In fact, pushing like you have to poop is likely the direction you'll hear from the www.parents.com/pregnancy/giving-birth/labor-and-delivery/">labor nurse.) Since there's no magical switch to ensure that baby comes out while everything else stays in, accidents can happen.
    The Relief: Not every woman empties her bowels on the delivery table but when it happens, doctors and nurses really don't care. "Obstetricians are not squeamish people," assures Dr. Greenfield. In fact, if you do poop, it means you're doing the right thing and pushing correctly, says Dr. Riley. And delivery room nurses are prepared for this and will swoop in and discretely wipe away anything that comes out. Thanks to these quick cleanups and epidurals, many new mamas (and their delivery room guests) are blissfully unaware that anything but a beautiful baby came out.
    When to Worry: You shouldn't.

    Yes, this is my fear. But I guess it's good to know that it happens to most women? Ugh.
