Big toilet TMI question.

[NinjaKitty]

Well I'm 38 weeks. Not really having many signs. Few low down foof pains and BH, that is all.

However something has changed past couple of days. I seem to need to poop a few times a day! I've not got a tummy upset or anything. Just seems that food is passing through really quick. Wondered if this is the start on my body having a grand clear out!

 

[l_maclean]

Ive heard things tend to "loosen up" in prep for labour. so prob a good sign. xxx

Yes yes yes!!! I've had this for the past week. I eat, I poop. And it's not pretty too - almost like diarrhoea It's like all of a sudden I need to poo as well. I'll be on the loo having a wee lol. Get up, walk out, then I need a poo really quickly! Lol.

[Samsgirl]

oh god i hope not cos i had 4 poos yesterday!!! lol xx

 

[NinjaKitty]

Its the fact I had to poop at 2am. Couldn't even get through the night. AND again when I woke up.

 

[Danti]

I've had this the last couple days too! Had to get up twice through the night yesterday :/ didn't know if it was just my IBS playing up though so kinda nice yet scary to see you ladies are having the same, if that makes sense lol xx

 

[BevG]

maybe things are being pushed thru your systems faster due to lack of space as well?

Yup. A lot of people feel sick near the end, or their morning sickness returns at the end of pregnancy.x

I am also having the more than normal pooping issue. I am glad its not just me. ; )

 

[Kerrieanne]

Ok I'm jealous, I'm the exact opposite I wish I could poop, it just won't come out the little *******

Prune juice will get it shifting. I had horrendous constipation a few weeks back. Sooooo uncomfy.

 

[shootingstar22]

Softmints will also help to shift any backlog! Lol

I had the same with NOT going!! I know my prob is the iron tablets tho xxx

 

[Kerrieanne]

I'm on iron tablet too. I've tried it all to go easily as well as the above but I think it's just something I have to live with until little chip arrives.
