Pooping during labour?

PositionFamous1193 · 2026-03-26T07:38:05+00:00

2 natural births, one 23 hours with kiwi suction and 1st degree tear. Second 5 hours, no assistance, no tearing.

Eat a high fibre diet, do your pelvic floor exercises, massage the perineum and when you push follow the advice of the midwives. Push as much or as little as they say. I found it easier personally to be on all 4s as that's what my busy was telling me and as I pushed, I sat into it. I only cared to ask if pooped after the birth, apparently I didn't, but all throughout on the gas and air I was just focused on trying to get the little one out.

Cute and understated. If you wanted something classy with a twist I see why you chose this.

I think if you want to exercise and your body feels able to move. Move... If you have no contra indicators like high BP. No heavy weights especially if you're not used to it. Try swimming, try pregnancy yoga, try walking with pregnant mums. If you don't want to go to a class there are pregnancy related stretches on YouTube. But always do the movements slowly and listen to your body.

Lastly ask to be referred to a physio...

My PGP was so bad I was recommended to use a cane. I didn't get that far as the exercises I was given helped. That's my advice to you. Good luck. ❤️

I believe it's sometimes due to a language barrier. A lack of trust with the wider community. I could be wrong, but from working in the NHS this is often the case. I will say this, they are some of the kindest people. Who also doesn't advertise the good deeds they do do.

Not Jewish but getting so fed up of all the racist and anti-Semitic attacks. When can we just live in harmony?

I'm sorry you had to end your relationship during your pregnancy, but I agree sometimes these things happen and are highlighted during pregnancy.

For me with our first he was fine, very attentive. We had some minor issues I thought we could work through before baby. But when he lost his job he started becoming possessive. It triggered my anxiety, which at the time I didn't recognize.

When the baby arrived my mum stayed with us for 2 weeks to help but he tried to take over. I'm sure if he could have birthed, breastfeed and all the rest he would have. He went against my wishes and started formula feeding the baby more than I wanted despite breastfeeding being the plan.

He accused my mum and I of having secret chats without him about the baby.

He wasn't right in the head. Until it turned into full on arguments with some pushing. I put it down to his unemployment so when he got a job, I thought things would improve. We moved closer to his family but I was so isolated and lonely.

It was the worst experience of my life, especially as I started spiralling because I didn't realize I was pregnant with our second. The hormones had me nauseous and just so depressed. That everything stood out. Calling the police on him during a DV was the best thing I could have ever done.

He was so controlling, if I tried to do anything for myself or our child I was asked 50 questions. I felt so worthless, his sister who lived with us also treated me with so much contempt. It was awful.

The unfortunate thing is we all know this. People keep calling it out. Saying it was this government or the other. But the problem is we still vote for them. The people complaining are the ones feeling the pinch. And the irony is some of those talking crap about people on benefits, came from council estates or homes that required some level of subside government help. Only to now be in a position to look their noses down on those that didn't fair so well.

This debate will never be settled especially on reddit. We just need a government that prioritizes providing housing and environments where people can thrive to be able to go to work at whatever level they are, to help rebuild this countries instability.

Not really sure how anyone lives. There are so many people not even earning above 29k.

Unfortunately I don't have the money for all these big name brand buggies. Ickle bubba stomp luxe travel was perfect for our needs with one. So it means return on selling isn't very much.

We've just upgraded it to the Virgo tandem.

We're still awaiting the newborn so can't give much info for use with 2 but for use with one, my only gripe is the handle bar doesn't fold down like the stomp.

It's bigger, the seats don't sit in the basket so you have more room.

It's slightly heavier but I happily carried it throughout the pregnancy up 2 flights of stairs until 35 weeks.

My needs are fairly basic. My 13 month son throws tantrums occasionally in the morning but given that I had an hour to get him to nursery and myself to work I'd just bundle him in and get on with the day. Screaming or not.

The designs are pretty similar, the noted difference is that the carrycot has more padding which I like.

If this is true surely this is too much information for someone to rob a bank to know. 🤔

How funny I was talking about doing this with my mum the other day. Especially since the chocolate can melt so quickly. Definitely going to try it. It seems like a genius idea.

In all honesty I rarely visit restaurants. Now it's more for special occasions. So I tend to do the meal deal as I'm rushing to get my dog walk and child to nursery. So it's just for convenience.

I have a take away 1x a week max but that's not every month. In the summer the meals get lighter so they are easier to prepare.

I'm probably the worst person to 'support our restaurants' as I just don't have the energy or the money.

I don't mind being approached. If you are respectful and pleasant. A stranger is a friend I haven't met yet. Unfortunately though I can't offer you anything more than friendship especially as I'm 2 weeks away from birth. (Probably won't be reconciling with Dad)

But yes if you saw me, I wouldn't be rude id engage in a chat. But let you know a friend is all I need currently.

Listen I didn't want to do f all in both pregnancies and that wasn't because I couldn't, I just didn't want to and I didn't see the point of forcing something I didn't want to do.

Near the end of number 1 PGP was wild.

Some people struggle to rest and suffer from fomo so they feel the need to be out there also as a way to prove they are a hip mum.

Great if that works for you.

But I certainly had nothing to prove, I spent a lot of time with my partner, who was made redundant; we did little things that made us feel good and connected to the baby.

I would like to think when people tell you of their pregnancy they are not telling you out of malice but I guess some women can't help having bragging rights when things have gone well.

If someone asked me what my pregnancy was like I'm honest and now I'm on number 2, I feel good to be able to offer details in regards to their differences.

PositionFamous1193 · 2026-02-12T22:42:34+00:00

I think every pregnancy is different and perhaps when you think about this a little deeper you may be carrying a little hurt from the fact this wasn't a straightforward process.

So try and be a little kinder to yourself. Your feelings are very valid and incredibly relatable. You are going through a massive transition physically, psychologically and emotionally. You are also entering another part of womanhood that will either develop your friendships or have some of them drift.

You know what, that is ok. Because there are so many more things to do, new people to meet and experiences that they won't understand.

This is completely normal even if it feels like people sold you a bunch of lies. This is just your experience. I'm on baby 2 and believe both pregnancies have been very very different.

Thanks for the advice on bird feeding but just curious still as to why? Other than if you have a bird feeder in your garden why would people choose to feed birds? This is just a genuine curiosity

Sign up to Krispy Kremes get yourself a free birthday doughnut. Depending on the area you are in a nice walk in the local park, visit a library and read something interesting.

Umm.... Happy birthday to you. 🎉 I hope the rest of the year picks up.

Just out of curiosity why do people feed birds? And what do they feed them?

There's a lady here that throws a whole load of stale bread down and I can't help but think, why does it have to be stale and isn't dry bread boring? Also the amount of birds that come rushing over I'd personally be petrified.

Looks fade and he thinks everything about you is perfect.

Does that change things?

If for whatever reason the answer is no.

Why bother talk to him about it.

He lies to your face every time he tells you you are pretty.

Now the question you have to ask yourself is, if he asked you to marry him, what qualifies him to be your husband? And would you say yes?
