The big clear out

[Mummykaz90]

so I can only assume this is the clear out everyone talks about....I'm 34 weeks for last 2 weeks I have had really bad ibs and been constipated badly to the point it's absolutely killed me to go to the toilet like pushing a bowling ball out oouuchie anyway for last 3 days I have pretty much had very loose stools even waking in the night to go and do them. Very unlike me at all. Is this what it could be?

It’s a bit early for that. Have you been to the GP?

Yea I would also echo other poster and say it's a bit early, usually women get it for only about a day before labour starts as well...

Chances are it's overflow and the big lump is still there xx

When I had that (clear out), it didn’t happen until my first early contractions had started, and was done with by the time labour got going properly - less than a day.

I’d guess it’s more likely something else, might be worth getting some medical advice if you’re concerned?
