I wonder if it has something to do with your uterus pushing your intestines up more or something.

I'm so glad I'm not the only one thats going thru this. It's not something I can just tell people at work when they ask so how's it going how are you doing. Lol. Oh my. We lose all modesty when pregnant. I've even been dreaming about pooping. No joke. Oy!

I have heard this is common later in pregnancy. Especially since baby is taking up all extra room. I also heard it is really common to go a lot right before you go into labor, its a way your body gets ready.

Haha I've been experiencing this too! I go probably 4 or 5 times a day now where before I was prego it was like once every 2 or 3 days! I never understood how my husband went at least 3 times a day and I would go a couple days without haha

Mine have also been soft but not loose..does that make sense? I have just noticed really in the past couple of weeks they have really been increasing. Maybe that's a sign that our bodies are trying to make room for the baby!

today was the only day i felt kinda better. o thinl ots cause they gave me 4 bags of fluids but I've gone 4 times today and that's a bog difference then 2 every month being pregnant. I think it just means we're doing something right with our bodies. at least I think we are. :)
