So we all know that the majority of women will poop during pushing and that the midwives will reassure us that we actually didn’t poop and they deal with it so quickly that nobody would know and we can all live in the delulu that we didn’t poop…

But I’m planning on having a water birth - what happens in the poop situation then? Has anyone experienced this? I feel like the consistency of the poop is gonna affect this situation as well - what if it isn’t…you know…solid 🤢

My husband might be in the birthing pool with me, or at least he will be right next to me…

How is this dealt with someone please reassure me 😂
