Odd Bm at 31 weeks

[wingingit987]

I am 31 weeks pregnant and I hate to give tmi but the last week I'm having a bm alot always after the baby has made a big movement. But I can go up to 5 times a day. This is very unusual for me its not diarrhea just a sudden I need to get yo the toilet now after a big movement.

This is my second and I am measuring 3 weeks ahead I. Freaking myself out thinking this is my body getting ready for birth.

I've also had lots of comments that my bumb had dropped.

Has anyone ever experienced anything like this.

Ah the joys of 3rd trimester pregnancy!!
Yep, this is happening to me. I'm nearly 33wks and everytime he has a big movement, I need to go to the loo (or have wind)!
It's frustrating but I think completely normal as baby will be pressing on the bowels now and just pushing things along!!
Tbh....I think I prefer this way than to be constipated!
Speak to your mw but I'm sure all will be well, especially if it's a normal bm, no blood etc.

I've been getting similar since about 31/32 weeks aswell, I keep going between days of needing to go constantly and days being constipated. My baby also turned head down at that point so that could explain why.
I'm 39 weeks today now though so don't think it's a sign of anything starting.

As above though, if you're worried at all, speak to your midwife
