POOP!

One of the biggest concerns among pregnant women is: “what if I poop while I am pushing the baby out?” They may not be talking about this with their partners, believe me they are concerned about it and probably talking about it with their girlfriends…it can be all consuming…”we will have to move out of this town if I 07do that!”

POOP happens! Anatomically here is what’s happening: when she has pushed the baby down, well into the birth canal, if there is anything in the rectum, it’s going to come out ahead of the baby…no two ways about it. Now- she has two choices- live in fear that it might happen OR leave her social graces outside the labor room door and PUSH like she means it- and get that little baby into her arms sooner than later!
