Can I have any advice I have been having increased bowel movements anywhere from 5 to 9 a day. It’s been going on for 3 weeks now I’m 35 weeks now and get stomach cramps with it… like I will go toilet do my thing n then come back to my room n instantly need to go again… I’ve got no other symptoms with it but I feel like I have lost weight… last Saturday I had 14 bowel movements in one day… I have spoke to midwife’s and they said they can’t do anything about it n get gp appt but I can’t even get an appt… I’ve been very hydrated drinking tons of water… but nothing is helping can I get any advice on what I can do.. I’ve also got haemorrhoids as well coz of the amount of times I’m going… it’s really stressing me out as I can’t do any thing or go out because of this issue.

That's a big increase. It's probably nothing, but given the fact you think you've lost weight, it's a sudden change and it's been going on for a few weeks you do need to prioritise seeing a GP to rule out anything more sinister.
