Change in bowel movements 36 weeks

[CharlieSon]

For the last week I’ve been passing soft stools two or three times a day which is unusual. Stomach is gurgling and making funny noises. I’m definitely eating normally! Is this a sign of labour coming soon? I’m 36 weeks.

It’s the change in hormone levels as your body prepares your womb to expel the baby out. The hormone also affects your gut hence frequent soft stools

The beginning of the end, but doesn't mean anything is imminent. I've had loose stools regularly since around 36 weeks, I'm now almost 39 and nothing yet.
