Hahahah yes it is! Extremely normal apparently! I was on epidural and once they told me to try to push as if I’m pooping since I can’t felt anything waist down and don’t know which muscles to use. So I acted like I pooped, So curiously I asked if real poop came out, the nice nurse told me ‘oh yes a little but this is normal!’ So yeah! Tbh I wasn’t even embarrassed cause the labour was so painful I can’t be bothered but I was apologetic throughout 😂

Thanks for sharing! :) For my case, I poop while I was under GA and I felt so embarrassed when my gynae told me after the ops! I feel so apologetic and bad towards my gynae 😂
