frequent bowel movements!!

[sheena287]

Hi everyone. i have been having to go (you know what i mean!) about 3 times a day for the last few days which is not like me normally! why d u think this is?? just pressure from baby or things getting cleared out? i had my first baby at 36 weeks so i am at increased risk of delivering early. anyone else having this problem? thanks sheena 36+3

I am the same too!!! and I am also at increased risk of early delivery. I was wondering what was going on but it might be things starting to happen!!

Hello.

I am the same.... Diarrhea type more than anything but at least 3 times a day... I have braxton hicks too so I get very panicky if it happens at the same time... got the MW on thurs so will chat to her then but I have 65 days left so it is very wierd!

I just want it out now... they say bowels and BH is nothing like the real thing but it is very very painful.... eeeekkkkk!!!

its odd....seems like everyone goes through this at around 35-36 weeks. I had it, and i rarely go once a day (usually like 3 times a week) but i was going 3 times a day without fail, and it was like my whole intestiens were emptying every time (sorry TMI) it only lasted a week or 2 though.
