My mom told me she pooped me out. I believed her for a long while until I read the literature.

She wasn't totally lying to you. The muscles to poop is also used to push a baby out. It is not uncommon that when a baby is pushed out a poop is also pushed out. 😅

I honestly forgot I was pregnant until month 7. That's when I started to show. Your body does a good job of protecting baby if everything is in order. It was a little weird when baby started kicking, but it became a kind of game 😂 I would poke back.
