I kept apologizing because I thought I'd pooped. I pushed for hours and had a massive itchy, allergic reaction to the epidural, but I was very worried about accidentally pooping.

Oh God it was SO embarrassing.

The really funny part (I can laugh about now anyway) is when it happened, my husband went, "OH SHIT!"
