Maybe a sign?

Question

Has anyone had a change in the use of the bathroom prior to their little one coming?

Last night I woke up 8 times to pee, usually it's only 4, and I've been having many more Braxton hicks and abdominal cramps.

Answer

I've been crapping like crazy for about a week and a half. He dropped though. The pelvic pain in unbearable. There's no room for anything in my colon. I'm entirely miserable with how often I use the bathroom. I've lost my plug. I've had my bloody show. I was 75% effaced last week. I have contractions anytime I'm not laying down. I really don't think this kid is coming for another week or two. This is my third. I think all of the "signs" don't mean a thing. He will come when he's ready and not a min earlier. I'm just hugely uncomfortable and in massive amounts of pelvic pain until then. And I'm worried since he dropped and has engaged himself so low, he will undoubtably have a cone head. Poor kid. Hang in there. I'm not a fan of the last few weeks of pregnancy, but they are worth it. Most first time babies do not come early. Don't tell yourself you are getting signs already because you'll be even more upset if you go past 40 weeks.

Answer

Could mean baby dropped, since that increases the pressure on your bladder
