The feeling of defecation during contractions varies from person to person. Some fetuses are in persistent posterior occipital position, so the pregnant woman may have the feeling of defecation just after entering labor, while some have the feeling of defecation right after the uterus starts contracting, when the opening of the uterus has not yet opened. If the feeling of defecation occurs during normal labor, it is usually when the opening of the uterus is close to full, because the fetal head gradually descends and presses on the pelvic floor tissues causing rectal reflex, which leads to a reflexive feeling of defecation and involuntary downward straining and breath-holding. In addition, premature defecation during labor may be caused by the persistent posterior occipital position of the fetus, as the posterior part of the fetal head faces the spine and stimulates the rectum earlier, thus causing the sense of defecation. In this case, the opening of the uterus is usually not yet fully opened when the fetal orientation is abnormal. In this case, it is necessary to check the fetal orientation, and if there is an abnormal fetal orientation, timely measures should be taken to help correct the fetal orientation so that delivery can proceed smoothly. If a pregnant woman has contractions with a feeling of defecation, she should pay attention to rest and eat or rest appropriately between contractions to preserve her strength. And keep a good state of mind to avoid excessive anxiety and tension to affect the labor process. Patients with abnormal fetal orientation are recommended to lie in the left lateral position, which is conducive to enhancing the blood and oxygen supply in the placenta and preventing intrauterine hypoxia.
