Pregnancy question, TMI?

Question

Im 38 weeks 5 days today, I was just wondering if anyone else has been having a BM more often besides me. Ive been having a BM about 3 times a day lol. Anyone else?

Answer 1

a lot of women get diarhea this far along in pregnancy/early labour...the fact that your just having 3 a day is quite healthy just means your body's doing what its suppose to...im pregnant and constipated as h**l would love to have a BM right now.

Answer 2

Its your body's way of cleaning itself out before labor

Answer 3

I agree with Nicole...your body is getting ready to deliver so it is getting rid of all your waste so when you are in that delicate position you don't have a mishap...just wait until you are peeing every 5 seconds...that will be fun!!!!

Answer 4

Hey sister!  I'm 38 weeks and 3 days!  

Sounds like you are getting very close to the big day!  Your body has a natural way of knowing and getting ready for the actual birthing.  Frequent or loose BM's are one of those 1st stage labor signs~

I bet you don't last the next 3 days before you are in full blown labor!

I'm excitied for you!  Congrats and good luck!

Answer 5

Bm as in just pooping, or diarrhea? I'm 38 weeks and 5 days to lol, and I for the past couple days been having diarrhea about 2 or 3 times a day... I believe its your body's way as cleaning it out and getting ready for the baby to come..
