Question about bowel movement/pregnancy

[asali21]

I have a quick question.  It seems that in the past week my bowel movements have been very soft.  Is that normal?  I will  be 7wks tomorrow.  Could it also have to do with what I am eating.

Lots of veggies, tomatoes, pasta.  Not to worried about it just wondering.

Thanks ahead of time.

I will be 6 weeks as of tomorrow and have the exact same thing! Maybe this means we're "normal!" Congrats on the baby!

I posted earlier to someone that is pregnant that has Diarrhea (you may want to read that post).  I am 12 weeks and I am reading what to expect while expecting. Great book, pretty much answers any questions you have about pregnancy.  But every woman is different during pregnancy and our hormones are different.  It also depends on what you eat that keeps your bowel movements soft.  Generally speaking pregnant women are usually constipated.  I however have not had this problem, so maybe the 3 of us are lucky so far! Best of Luck in your pregnancy!

Be thankful they're soft! Because later on you'll be stoped up for days and it's no fun! :-(
Fruits and veggies tend to make your poopies softer.. it's the protein that kills ya.
