When I'm taking a less than cooperative dump, I try not to push too hard.
You gotta give it a little time to come out on its own. Like a kitten. Or a turtle. Or something.
But I have sometimes pushed so hard that I can feel pressure building up in my veins and in my ears, and I've stopped because, well, because I've gotten scared. But I could have pushed harder. I know it. There was still 'push' in reserve. But I didn't do it.
I've heard stories of people getting hernias doing that. Or having strokes.
So what I want to know is, has anyone here really truely pushed as HARD as they possibly could? Or do we all have this safety barrier?
What about in an emergency? I hear that under times of great stress the human body is capable of superhuman feats! Could you push out an entire blockage if it was a life or death emergency?
It boggles the mind I tell you. Boggles. The mind.
