Too much!

Sorry if it's tmi but I am 36wks and cannot stop pooping. I couldn't go then all of a sudden I'm going 4-5 times a day and it's soft all of a sudden. At one point it was almost diarrhea. Anyone else with this problem?

It's your body cleaning itself out as it preps for labor. You should have your lil one soon!

I thought it was something I ate at first because my husband had it too and then he had sympathy symptoms with my last one too. Poor guy lol I had horrible cramping for an hour and after that it wouldn't stop coming. Thanks for the tips ladies. Hopefully baby Noah will make an arrival soon as he's large and in charge of my body

I'm 38+4 and have had on and off diarrhea for the past couple weeks. I'll have it for a couple days than be constipated for a couple. I've noticed in the past 2 days though that I've been gassier than normal with some stomach cramps that are different from my Braxton hicks.

I have been pooping 4-8 times a day my whole pregnancy (26weeks). Baby wipes and witch hazel pads have helped so much! Trust me my bottom is very sensitive at this point. I have also developed external hemorrhoids. I think it's my prenatal pills. I have changed them four times and I poop less when I forget to take them...

Fyi, I appreciate the tmi. I've never been pregnant before, and I don't know everything about it. This is the stuff that no one talks about because it's gross, but it's also good to know! So thanks for sharing.

(Sorry posted to soon) but also having the vomiting my midwife told me it is my body prepping and to drink plenty of water. I am 37.4 so I know how you feel. If your bum starts to hurt. Use charmin wipes they will help you. The joys of pregnancy no one tells you about lol.

Sounds like your body is prepping for labor. It is actually good to get it out before. Some women vomit around this time others do what you are doung. I did it the day I went into labor.
