Comment from karenina
I can totally relate! I had a tough labor with my first born. The nurses kept cheering my efforts by shouting--
"Push like you're having a bowel movement!"
(I failed to see the humor)
Three days later, ready to go home with my son, I was SO constipated!
I was most uncomfortable and not yielding the "prize" they needed to see before I could be discharged...
I rang the emergency "bathroom" bell.
In walked one of my labor nurses who didn't miss a beat as she shouted
"Push like you're having a baby!"
I saw the humor...and laughter did the trick.
How you tamed this into perfect limericks is beyond me...
But great job!

I remember them not letting my sister leave until she did the deed. It is crazy that you must poop before you can go home with the newest love of your life.

LOL Thank you for sharing this silly writing prompt entry. I'm pretty sure the majority of mothers have been in a similar situation. I couldn't help but laugh. I enjoyed reading.

This made me laugh. I'm down for all the gross and weird stuff so of course I had to read this. I haven't had any children but I know so many will be able to relate to this.

Your photo drew me in and limericks kept me in. I read through these twice since it gave me a good laugh so early in the morning.
Hey, good post and good luck in the contest.

Comment from Gloria ....
I thought this was most entertaining. You have the signature limerick metre down perfectly and this met the requirements of the prompt well.
Thank goodness it turned out all right in the end.
Much enjoyed. :)

Comment from Gypsy Blue Rose
Hehe... many moms will relate to your silly poem. Great entry for the contest. With my first baby I was in labor for 12 hours but the doctor sent .me home because he thought it was a wrong alarm but it wasn't and I barely made it back in time with no time to prep. I pooped and it was his fault.
Well done! Good luck in the contest.

-I must admit Jessica that your title and the toilet paper got me in. (I have many digestive issues so the toilet is my second best friend). Loved this 'silly poem' of yours and the good morning chuckle you gave this reader.
Well done,
cheers,
