Constipation, diarrhoea, my body can’t make its mind up

Hi all. Sorry but this is probs gonna be TMI.
I’m 32 weeks pregnant, had constipation on and off throughout my pregnancy but it’s all suddenly changed over the last week and I now had a bout of diarrhoea every day nearly. Only once or twice to the toilet but it’s like my body is having a proper clear out and I HAVE to go there and then. I don’t think it’s a bug because I’ve had this over a week now and don’t feel poorly in any other way. The diarrhoea usually follows after really painful trapped wind that I can’t seem to shift, especially in bed at night. It’s starting to bother me because I’m constantly thinking about where the nearest toilet is when I go out anywhere, just in case. Is this normal? I’ve read it can be common before labour but I’ve still got 8 weeks left to go yet... hopefully!

You might actually still be constipated! My ds had similar, constipated for ages then diarrhoea on and off. Turns out he was so blocked up with poo that the rest was getting forced past the blockage just to get out! Not nice though, I hope you get some relief one way or the other.

I'm 25 weeks pregnant and feeling exactly the same!! Some days I don't go, and others I can't stop going.
I don't think it's anything to worry about but if it's keeps going like this i may mention it to my midwife!xx
