TMI! Floating poo when pregnant?

I apologise in advance for this question but it’s driving me insane. I’m 4.5 months pregnant and have been experiencing floating stools for 2 months. From my hypochondria days I remember floating stools being something I had googled once and wish i hadn’t!!
Has anyone else experienced this when pregnant?? Did you find it stopped when baby was born?
Thank you so much in advance for any replies! Hoping for some reassurance Confused

Not specifically floating ones, but my bowels have been doing all sorts of things differently. I'm pretty gassy too at the moment. Aren't floaters just that because there's gas trapped in them?

I hope so!! I saw my consultant today and she just said excess fibre and didn’t seem too concerned. I wouldn’t mind but I barely eat anything with fibre in!! 🙈 thank you for your help!

@KateEC91 ah had floaty ones yesterday myself 🤣 - pretty sure it's definitely the gas!

Too much food with a fatty content is the normal cause
