So you are very likely to poop during labour and if anything as midwives it’s a promising sign for us; to see it means that things are moving in the right direction. It’s just that in of biology the baby is gonna move down the same like bodily space, that your poo will be in, so don’t worry about it. So it’s quite likely that you will poo during your labour and like I said, it’s a good sign that baby’s just moving further and further down, which is the direction that we want baby to go. You will poo.
