Warning: Toilet talk

[milk]

Usually I do a no.2 early in the morning. I only ever do one no.2 a day. My toilet clock is highly regular.

Today I have done a no.2 four times

I am 36+6 if going by my last period or 35+6 if going by my scan.

Is my change in toilet habit something to do with soon having the baby or am I wishful thinking? :P

it's because of the pressure your baby is putting on you bowel. it has let's say 'less storage space'

I was told that your body naturally tries to clear everything out before labour. It's not always the case though.

I'm starting to take everything as a "sign" I just want this pregnancy to be over and to have a healthy baby so badly :(

You'll get there. Don't worry. Your baby needs to cook a bit longer that's all.

Thank you TheOneWithTheHair :)

I'm 35+3 according to scan (37w going by LMP) and I share your impatience. I know I've probably got 5 weeks, maybe even 7, to go, but every little crampy twinge these days has me wondering. On Saturday I had, shall we say, very loose bowels and I couldn't help but wonder if it was the start of somerhing. But nope, back to business as usual by Sunday.

At this stage I think it's best if the babies stay put for a couple more weeks anyway. It can't be more than a few weeks though, and you'll be snuggling your little newborn :)

P.S. Am I right in thinking you're booked into the Whit? I am too.

Ooo, can I jump on too please? I'm 37 weeks, been having twinges, cramps and pleasant toilet issues for about a week. Baby is 3/5 engaged as of last Thurs and by recent growth scan pretty big! Now I know she'll keep cooking till she's good and ready to arrive but I am soooooo impatient at the best of times but being uncomfortably pregnant and waiting to meet her has made my impatience unbearable! I have actually got to the point where the odd painful contraction I get actually makes me happy as I think I'm on my way but alas not yet!!

EarnestDullard - Barnet hospital for me :)

sparklekitty - They should really make a pregnancy advert calendar for the last month :P But what to put inside each day? I'm going with one-use-miniature-tasers so once a day I can shock that one person who calls me "too fat" or "must be ready to pop any day"
