Bowel Movements...A bit TMI

Winafred · Dec 27th, 2008, 03:16 AM

I won't go into to much detail since we all know what a BM is. I'm just wondering if anyone is having as many per day as I am. Usually I'm a one time a day girl, but the last few days it's been between 5-6. Is that usual for this late in my pregnancy? Is it just my body clearing out in preparation for birth? My diet hasn't really changed that much so I can't blame it on that.

i had LOADS of bowel movements a couple of weeks before i went into labour - it is your body preparing for it!!! i went a week early - perhaps your time is approaching!!!

That would be awesome!! I'm so ready for him to come out, well I can wait one more week until he's full term.

I am usually a once a day gal, but have been going at least twice the past week, sometimes in middle of night too which is annoying as it wakes me up!

I've never had this, but I've heard loads of women say it's completely normal just before LO arrives! Good luck hun!

Its funny this came up as I had this just yesterday. I must have went about 6 times!! I would go the loo, for the millionth pee and not really feel the need for a poop but I would go...very random!

I hope this is an indication of lil one being on the way as I feel soo ready too now
