      I agree but I am also genuinely impressed how many serious answers are here. When I read the post I was sure it was just a troll, but troll or not, there are so many people here to give good and based advice. It’s just great. We should keep it!

    Not so fun story: when I did my civil service in a hospital I once was called in a room from a patient, because the other patient from that room didn’t come out of the toilet. I found her in the toilet. She had a stroke while pushing really hard. She had asked for a laxative for days, but the physicians didn’t want to giver her one (don’t know ow why).

    Tl;dr: Don’t push till you faint!

    Probably because you’re holding your breath in the whole time which cuts off oxygen to your brain, which is what causes fainting
