Any of you mommies' constipation ease up for no reason at the end? I have suffered from terrible constipation since third trimester started - I developed external hemorrhoids and bled alot it was so bad. And for some reason, though I haven't been eating fiber bars or went out of my way to keep "things" moving the past week like I've had to do for a long time now, the bm's have been like a normal person! I mean, I'm not complaining cuz its not like I have diarrhea like alot of ladies seem to get before labor, its just odd and wanted to know if I'm the only one?

I actually had diarhea and went into labour next day:)
Goodluck!

I've heard it's a sign your body is clearing itself out before labor. It's your body's way of preventing a bowel movement while pushing, I guess?
