I poohed my way through the "pushing" stage. (What a thing to confess to)
I wasn't the slightest bit embarrased and the midwife (and DH) were great about it. The midwife kept on chasing "floaters" in the birthing pool. What could I do????? It really is not that bad, so don't stress about it if it happens to you! It's inevitable and extremely natural for you body to discard poohs during the pushing stage - unless ofcourse you had a good dose of castor oil before hand!!!
Good luck
