Increased bowel movements and Braxton Hicks?

[Beans1977]

Hello. I'm 37w and over the last few days have been having a number two 3-4 times a day. My stools are very loose but it's not diarrhoea. I've also been getting strong Braxton Hicks (had these for a few weeks but they are getting much more uncomfortable). It's DC#1. Is anything beginning or if this is just normal at this stage? I'm in no hurry for bub to arrive as we have lots of nice plans (including going to Paralympics next week!) just curious?

If you are worried talk to your midwife. IME I have had Braxton Hicks with bowel movements but not for days on end (36wks PG with DS2) You will know the difference when the time comes between true labour pains and braxton hicks so just go out and enjoy yourself (just be close to a toilet JIC)
