Molly-Mae Hague has admitted she was worried about pooping herself while giving birth to her daughter Bambi.
Sharing her birth story, the Love Island star, 23, said that one of the main things she was "nervous" about was doing a poo during labour.
"I was pushing. She was coming out of me, I could feel it, it was incredible,” Molly tells fans on YouTube.
"It did actually feel like I was doing a poo. And by the way, did I poo in birth? Yes, I did, I think."
She candidly added: “The doctors were like, ‘oh no you haven’t, don’t worry about it’ but I’m 99.9 percent sure I could smell it.

“That’s one thing as well I was quite nervous about when I was pushing because I know if I push the way I’m gonna push this baby out, I’m gonna poo.
“And they were like, ‘don’t worry about it, 90 percent of women poo when they give birth’."

“I was like ‘I know, but this is a very vulnerable position for me. My legs are in stirrups, there’s medical professionals all around me, my boyfriend is stood here. Like, I don’t wanna poo myself," she said.
“I have zero dignity, but even in that moment I still cared, I don’t know why."

There's also the extra pressure on the colon and rectum with a baby moving through the birth canal to consider.
But expectant mums needn't worry as midwives very discreetly clear it away.
