Is it normal to poop during birth?
Yep.Totally normal
Yes, it’s normal to poop during vaginal birth. Pushing uses many of the same muscles as having a bowel movement, and the birth team is used to it.
During vaginal birth, the muscles you use to push the baby out also help you poop. Pressure from the baby can make it happen, and you usually can’t control it—so there’s no need to feel embarrassed or try to prevent it.
It happens to plenty of people, and nurses and doctors handle it quickly and discreetly. They’re focused on helping you and your baby, not judging what your body does.
