Considering what a magical experience it’s said to be, there’s a lot about childbirth that isn’t all that pretty.
Bec Judd knows this all too well – she’s given birth to four children, after all. In fact, her biggest fear around the birth of her children related to something entirely common, but also a little gross.
The mum-of-four and her KIIS FM 3pm Pick-Up co-host Kate “Monty” Diamond confessed to listeners on Monday that ahead of each of their births, they were afraid of one thing above all else: pooing themselves.

Monty said that when chatting to her friends she told them “my biggest fear out of anything was pooing”. But the mum-of-two wasn’t alone – it was a fear shared by all her friends.
Bec, who also was worried about pooing while pushing out her first two children Oscar and Billie (her twins Tom and Darcy were delivered via c-section) shared how normal it was for women to have a bowel movement during birth.
“You know how common it is? Ninety per cent of women poo,” the she told Monty.

I've never really been a huge fan of her (or why she's famous), but lately I really love how honest she is. It's quite entertaining and comforting to know that even someone so glamorous can talk about these things freely. Kinda lifts my spirits. I hope she keeps this up, as a soon-to-be new mum, it's comforting to read these things.
I daresay she will run out of anecdotes to recycle to an adoring public soon enough.
Yes she'll need to have identical triplet girls next
