So sorry for being so graphic, but I'm worried!
I'm 34 weeks pg with DC2, and am having some horrible "poo issues" Blush
I've been eating and drinking as normal, haven't eaten anything dodgy, and don't feel ill at all, but for the last couple of days, I've been getting horrible stomach cramps, and then the immediate urge to go to the toilet - literally as soon as I feel it, I have to go!
And then when I do "go", it's either explosive gas and liquid, or just liquid without the gas Blush and it really smells awful.
I can't think of why this is happening, but it's worrying me a bit, as I suffered with explosive diarrhoea in the days before Dd was born at 38 weeks Confused

Sorry for double post, it showed me my last message hadn't posted Hmm
I'm not having any problems eating or drinking - I've had two big glasses of squash, two cups of tea and some toast this morning, and I'm now having some pringles Blush

Any news eggy ?

Spoke to a midwife who said my risk of pre-term labour is higher because it's been less than a year between pregnancies, so I need to keep an eye on the diarrhoea as bowel problems can irritate the uterus - if it doesn't get better or stop within 12 hours then I need to go in to get checked out. Keep an eye on any braxton hicks I get, and if they form any kind of pattern, then go in. She said to limit my diet to starchy foods, keep taking on as much liquid as possible and stear clear of fatty/spicy foods
