Stomach cramps followed by increased bowel movements

[MentalUnHealth]

Sorry for TMI title.

I'm almost 38 weeks but for the last 4-5 weeks I've been having more frequent bowel (sometimes 2-3 times a day!!!) Movements that usually start with mild stomach cramps is this normal for the third trimester?

The first and second trimester I was plagued with constipation!!

Would love to hear someone else out there has had the same I'm concerned there's something wrong with me. Xx

I had the same and was told it was just baby pushing on the bowel as they descend and become engaged. Theres a lot of pressure and blood flow down there so increased bowel movements and mild cramps are quite common I think. Hopefully means baby is getting ready to make an appearance good luck

I'm currently 37+3 and I also keep having stomach cramps and I'm having looser than normal bowel movements 2 to 3 times a day too. I also keep feeling a pressure in my bum, like baby is pushing on my anus. As far as I'm aware, it's all normal and baby is just getting ready for his appearance.

Hello

Just want some advice really as I go through the stressful process of buying my first home.

Basically I'm buying as a single applicant through shared ownership with 50% shares (new build house) ideally I would have gone through the process as a joint application with my soon to be hubby but his credit file isn't good enough yet (missed payments and defaults ect)

My mortgage application was submitted fully on Thursday to Leeds building society via a broker previous to this I passed the affordability checks and was pre qualified ect and that's all good however I'm panicking because I've just gone through my credit file with a fine tooth comb and noticed it says I'm doing well on 8 insights but 2 need improving the 2 that need improving is register to be on electoral roll which I am now so that's fine (it just hasn't refreshed yet) but the other insight and the one that I'm panicking about is that I have been close to my credit limit 6 times in 6 months.
Also just checked totally money it says I have 1 missed payment in September 2016 so very close to 6 years ago.

The going near my credit limit thing must be before January as since January my credit utilisation has been at just 3 % and my final balance was paid on Friday so my credit card is now at £0 (so are my other accounts like Argos and next) have I completely buggered my chances of being accepted now as my file isn't as squeaky clean as I thought it was? Really pissed off about the missed payment one!

Omg ignore that post I quite obviously was trying to start a brand new thread with something completely different I'm a dumbass
