Pooping

I find myself going to the bathroom every 10 min. My bowel's are normal. But is it normal to go every so often early at 4 weeks?

I was so constipated I didn't go for two weeks...but felt like I had to go all of the time.

Sorry think I misunderstood lol back to the bowel movements. I have the issues just a sort of constipation due to not being able to eliminate it all. We are absorbing lots of water due to increased blood volume. Eat lots of fiber and drink lots of water. I even bought some prunes to put in a smoothie to help make it more of a once a day thing  not all day.

It's normal :) increase blood volume and your kidneys picked up the rate. I have the same issue only going on 6 weeks.
