There Is Something I Have to Ask!!
Posted: 10-22-05 13:08pm

There is something I have to ask!!

When I feel very intense pain, I feel very ill and sometimes makes me sick!! Is this the case when your in labour?? How do you cope with it cause when I feel sick I am pretty much useless!!

Also I have heared that some women "follow through" when pushing!!(if you know what I mean). Is this true!!!

Thanks

I had my eldest 24 years ago and they would give an enema--so no.

But 2 years later in a birthing room I had my middle and yes!!

Last one c/section

It's actually more common than you think- women giving birth that defecate. My gf told me that when I go into labor to make sure that I go before I get to the hospital! She said it's because when you bear down and push, you push like that. (like you're going number 2!)
she said it happened to her and she was sooo embarrassed but the nurse was really sweet about it. My husband's co-worker's wife did the same as well. It's no big deal really- don't be embarrassed or worried if you do. :)

When I was pushing I pooped. I didn't even know until like a week after I got home from the hospital and my husband and I were talking about the labor. I was so pumped to see my baby I just didn't even notice. The doctor/nurses didn't say anything because it's normal and they see it all the time.
Actually a nurse in my childbirth class told me she likes to see that because it means you're pushing the correct way.

As far as being sick from pain, if there's food in your stomach you will most likely throw up because it won't sit well during contractions. I threw up.

Kiare,

thanks for the info about having food in your stomach. I've heard a lot of women experience nausea during labor so I will make sure not to eat like a pig once my water breaks!! Ice chips is what i'll be eating. I'm sorry you got sick- to be in pain and throw up has to suck!

there is medicine that they can give you through an iv for nausea. Also it is normal to follow through.
