The squits (TMI warning)

[Tiredtrout]

At the moment I am totally overwhelmed by how glam I am, currently 33+3 with enormous piles so about a week ago I increased my fluids to make sure that everything is a bit easier when I go. Unfortunately for the last few days I have been unable to fart with confidence and I appear to be suffering with bum gravy about 6 times a day.

I'm not feverish, I've not eaten anything bad, I don't feel poorly but my arse is in tatters. I have also been having bracton hicks since about16 weeks which I've been able to ignore but for the past couple of days they've been incredibly painful about four times.

Anyone had any of this before?

I've had similar for the last week or so, at 32+0. Doctor has said it's likely I've picked up a bug - so easy to pick things up when pg! Was just told to keep fluids up and come back if there was vomiting or it didn't clear up. Should probably go back, thinking about it as it still hasn't gone! I've had bad tummy cramps with it so I can imagine it might make BH more painful?

That sucks, I haven't had a chance to get to the doc yet but I best had
