TMI but is pooing a lot a sign of labor coming or what ?

Question

Is this normal? I’m 32 weeks

Answer

I started having the same type of bowel movements around 32 weeks as well. I am 34 + 2 today and still growing :)

Answer

it’s pretty normal if worry about it being a sigh of labor if your having active consistent contractions with it. if you’re just having braxton hicks or more bowl movements in general i wouldnt worry .

Answer

Idk I poop like 4 times a day lol. But I’ve always been that way 😂😩 I thought it just meant I had a fast metabolism.
I will say, whenever I sit on the toilet it feels like I’m gonna drop her out of me. So much pressure on both my butt and vaginal area

Answer

Soo I just went through this. My bowel movements have always been 1-2 days a week and for the last 4 days I had diarrhea several times a day. I had more Braxton Hicks than usual but mainly at night and some pressure. I emailed my doctor with my concerns and they said as long as I’m not having contractions that are close together, leaking fluid or bleeding, and the baby is still active than I should be fine. They said I could take Imodium to help the bathroom issue. Today is the first day I didn’t have a bowel movement at all.
I was pretty worried I was gonna go into preterm labor. I’m already high risk and this is my 3rd baby. But my baby is super active and the Braxton Hicks have slowed down. I do have an NST and doctor appointment tomorrow. I’m gonna ask a million questions lol
