Okay I'm almost 35 weeks pregnant. FTM. I've noticed that my bowel movements have changed. I have gone from regular/normal bowel movements once a day every 2-3 days to now having loose/diarrhea like bowel movements 2-3 times a day. This has been going on for almost a week now. Never had any gastrointestinal issues through out my entire pregnancy until now. I am drinking plenty of water to stay hydrated. And I eat 6-8 small meals a day. Nothing out of the ordinary. Today I've noticed that when I use the bathroom I am accompanied by some extremely painful cramping. Like I almost cried the cramps were that bad. Is this a sign of preterm labor? Is this normal for this far in pregnancy? Anyone else experiencing the same thing or have experienced this?
