poop in the womb

Posted 05.23.2004 by Poonurse (1313)

Dude asks:

Do babies poop while in the womb? And where does it go if they do?

Hi, and thanks for the question! Finally, one I can answer with authority!

Yes, they certainly can and do poop in there. The baby's first BM is called meconium, and it is a tarry, black, sticky substance.

If released in utero, it simply dissolves into the water, or amniotic fluid, giving it its characteristic greenish hue. About 30% or so of all babies will have pooped before birth, and special procedures are followed at delivery to be sure the baby doesn't have any in its airways.

My cousin inhaled her shit when she was born.

My daughter did a poo just before my giving her birth and she brilliantly turned herself around before making the trek out of me. Unfortunately, she turned herself into a breached position and that is how I gave birth to her.

Simply not true. Not only does the vaginal wall successfully shrink after childbirth, a woman can buy a Kegel exerciser if she feels not so tight afterwards.

Maybe the reason it felt loose reflects on you and yours. I suggest Enzyte.

I remember my mom telling me I had some of my poop in my mouth while I was halfway out of her vagina. I've never had sex nor seen a vagina in person so I can't really tell you about stretching. See Daphne's post, or ask another woman who has had a kid if you want confirmation, though I'm sure daphne wouldn't lie like that.

Maybe this is a dumb question, but where does the poop come from? I mean, a baby doesn't exactly eat anything while in the womb. Correct me if I am wrong, but doesn't all of it's 'food' come from the umbilical cord? I'm just a little bit confused.

That, Nate B, is quite an awesome question. I have a good reason to go and use Google. Will do right after I get back--I need go go poop now. The washing machine has been going a while, I hope it flushes. This house has horrible plumbing, damnit!

Hi, I am new to this site due to recently obscure poops. I have had diarrhea for 4 weeks straight and there is no sign of letting up. What should I be eating less of or more of? Should I see a doctor? Is profuse ass-bleeding normal with mild diarrhea? And I am still in the womb on a blackberry with the wireless connection from the hospital. Is this possible?
