Bowel movements

[BumWad]

So what are yours like?

I've always been very frequent pre-pregnancy, approx 3-4 times a day. I'm now 28 weeks and I have been 5-6 times today! It is not like diarrhoea and I do not feel unwell.

Just seems that every pregnant lady is constipated yet when baby moves I feel the urge to go for a poo! I think I have felt some BH these last few days and they make me want to go as well normal or should I be concerned?

I eat quite a lot of fruit and veg amongst the crap and do drink a lot of water. Is is just the baby squishing my intestines?

I really wouldn't worry about it! Only significant changes in bowel movements should cause concern. This isn't significant. And yes, all your internal organs get squashed in pregnancy!

I'd mention it to your midwife. I used to have frequent problems before pregnancy and found that it actually cleared everything up (yay hormones!) which is nice. I doubt it's anything to be concerned about but it's good to let them know at your next antenatal appointment just in case
