36 weeks - loose bowels!

Hi all,

I am now 36 weeks pregnant and for the past week and a half, I have experienced an unusual amount of need to go for a number 2! For someone who is a chronic constipation sufferer it’s great- although I can be up at 3am 5am having a number 2!!

Did anyone experience anything similar and does this mean baby is dropping lower?

I think so too, my lower back has dull pains at time and I just feel like my whole body has let go and succumbed to the pregnancy
