Loose bowels (TMI!)

I'm 35 weka pregnant and for the last few days have had loosish bowel movements. I'm on ferrous fumerate for anaemia so thought it was those. Today it's been a lot worse (as in dash to the loo!). And it's pretty pongy (did warn tmi)..

Is it just one of those late pregnancy things? (First timer) or a bad reaction to the tablets. I've been on them about a month now and generally they have loosened things but not to this extent. Hope I don't have a bug. Hmm

It can sometimes mean baby is on it's way!

Either that or you've eaten something funny.

Ha ha hope baby's got another couple of weeks at least yet!

I've been ok for a few hours now so hopefully just a dodgy tum.

I had that all week last week (am 30 weeks)- gp and midwife said either something I ate or baby squishing my bowels. All resolved now though- in fact gone slightly the other way :-/
