If I could have a £ everytime I answer this

If I could have a £ everytime I answer this.....

There's a good chance you will! But thats a good thing. Its a good sign though if you do, it means you're pushing in the right place.

I don't know if there are any stats but in my experience I would say around 50% of women will poo when birthing their babies.

It's natural, normal and the midwives won't bat an eyelid. If you're worried about your partner seeing, the liklihood is that they won't get a chance as the midwife or nurse will wipe it away before you can say "poop" 😅

For a midwife, hearing that you need to poo is actually quite exciting, it means the baby is probably on their way!

I'm sure many of you will resonate with this 😁
