Question for other mamas about poop 🤷🏼‍♀️

An

I'll be 37 weeks tomorrow. This is my second pregnancy, but idr this last time.

I've heard that when it's close to time to go into labor, a lot of women have diarrhea, but what if you just have to poop a whole lot?

This entire pregnancy I've been constipated. But in the last few days I've had easy BMs, and many of them. No diarrhea at all. Plus a ton of painful gas.

I don't think the baby dropped. I'm not sure if that would make room for my bowels to move things along more efficiently. Lol.

But I'm wondering if this is something any other mamas have discovered was a sign they were going into labor soon, or if it's just normal around this point, or what.

Lemme know please!!! Thanks 😅
