**Just pre-facing with I have called the OB and I'm going in tomorrow**

I have had brown spotting about three times in the last 10 days. It is light, and it seems to happen after bowel movements. I am not straining during these particular times, but have been struggling with constipation.

I am 17.5 weeks, baby #3.

Because I'm not straining when this happens, I'm not entirely sure this is constipation related, but I know it could be.

Has anyone else experienced this?

Or have any suggestions? I am taking a prebiotic and drink plenty of water throughout the day. Food has been iffy because this baby apparently wants me to starve or survive on zebra cakes 🤦‍♀️🙃
