Will i poop when i'm pushing during labor?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
You may.: When pushing, it would not be uncommon to pass some stool. Often, your obstetrician may recommend an enema prior to labor, to help empty the rectum. You should ask your obstetricians recommendations on this, before your labor starts. Good luck.
