It does happen, and pretty often. It isn't weird or unexpected. If there is any feces in the lower bowel, the baby's head traveling down the birth canal will squeeze it out since the birth canal and the lower bowel run roughly parallel to each other.
During child birth you are far too busy to be embarrassed by a little poop! And so is the doctor.

I pooped while giving birth. It was a bit embarassing but it paled in comparison to the pain I was feeling. My son is well aware of what took place during his birth and we chuckle about it now (only amongst ourselves as this is not a story that you share with just anyone). Trust me, I would prefer to have not done it but I guess I was really pushing.

yes, I did and apparently majority of women do. When pushing that hard and your baby pushing on your bowel it is inevitably. It actually a good sign you are near the end as it happens just as baby passes down putting pressure on your bowel. The midwifes are used to it and very discreet. At the time in too much pain to care. A friend of mine didn't even know she had until her husband told her two years later.

It happens all the time.
Mostly, it's not embarassing, for a couple of reasons. Firstly, you're already in a position that would be embarassing under normal circumstances, so can it really get worse? Second, most women don't even realize that it happened, considering the other sensations they're already having.

While gross, this happens quite frequently. Most women will have a bowel movement if they have anything in their large intestines at the time of delivery. It is common, and doesn't freak out anyone but the father and sometimes mom.
You won't even know you did it. My wife had a BM while delivering our baby, and the only reason she knows is because I told her. The doctor quietly moved it out of the way when the head started to come out, and put it in the trash at the base of the delivery chair/table. And that was that.
Nobody smelled anything, or said anything, and my wife is still mad at me for telling me it happened. lol

i hold my hand up! i was so embarressed afterwards, at the time i couldnt care less, the pain sort of took over. but i actually was pushing so hard i pushed from both ends and oopppooooppps! so when my next child was born i was so paranoid i had trouble letting all my muscles down there relax and work properlly i was afraid of the same thing so while trying not too push from that end i was hindering the vaginal pushing and had to have a suction cup to help deliever my son it could have been quite dangerous as his heart rate was decreasing but i just couldnt push him out becos i was trying to hard to push from the right place! so i say push **** do whatever it takes to get that baby out!!! theyve all seen your insides out so whats a little poo between...........

trust me I have 5 kids and being worried about pooping is the least of the embarrassing moments to come in the delivery room. Good Luck! Hope you like other people shaving you and seeing your naked prego butt and everything else below because there will be a lot of people you dont know around you.

You won't even know it if you do. They're not going to point and laugh and make a big deal. You can't feel anything but immense pressure when your pushing out the baby, let alone have any clue what's going on w/ your bowels or even care!

Yes... 95% of woman have a BM during labor mostly during pushing though. It is actually a sign you are pushing from th correct area, nothing to be embarresed of, a good Ob & L&D nurse should clean you up without you noticing or telling you.
