Have you ever had experience of nurses struggling to hold BM's in during long shifts? Have you personally worked through a shift when you've been bursting to go for a poo and had to fight to hold it in -- or lost the battle?

Dear Ady,

Thanks for being so concerned for my poop welfare! How nice!

The answers to your questions:

1. No.
2. No.

Poonurse is an RN with 25 years experience in labor and delivery. Her qualifications include seeing a lot of poop, and owning a computer. Also, she works in Michigan, which she calls the asshole of the universe, so that's another bit of credibility. Got a question for her?
