How are your bowels? TMI

Question

I have heard that your bowels change when you get pregnant. I was regular (once a day) before and now I poo 2-3 times a day and sometimes it's almost diarrhea-like. Anyone else having similar issues?

Answer

I rather have diarrhea-like bowels than constipation. It's sucks!! Like seriously. 😒

Answer

Depends lol. Beginning of pregnancy, diarrea, then second trimester hit, and boom, constipated. I'm going on 25 weeks and getting diarrea again. Mehhh. Before pregnancy I would go once a week so that's nothing new.

Answer

I voted other cause I have IBS.

Answer

I have changed my diet. I removed caffeine entirely and drink at least 8-10 glasses of water a day (a big increase from before). I've also cut out sweets and fatty foods. Maybe my body is also adjusting to those changes. Thanks ladies for the comments...it helps to know I'm not alone! :)

Answer

Both. 😩 I'm 34 weeks and lately I've been having constipation one day and loose ones the next. Gross and annoying.

Answer

I poop every 3-4 days normally my whole life. Now I poop once a day at the same time every day. Sometimes twice.

Answer

I have diarrhea & real soft poo. I was constipated once when i didnt drink a lot of water that day. It was the worst thing everrrrrrrr!!!!! so i make sure i drink mainly water & lots of it.

Answer

Started off constipated a lot and now I am not exactly constipated but went from a daily bowel movement to one every other day. Odd for me but it must be the pregnancy. I get all my water intake and my diet is fairly healthy. I'm fine though.

Answer

Are you drinking enough water?wleating too much fruit?
