Sorry if TMI - suddenly going for a No 2 very frequently at 38 weeks pg

[pgwithnumber3]

is this normal? I have been around 4 times today. What with me nearly pissing myself to get to the toilet every half an hour as well, this is just taking the biscuit.

Obviously just me then.

Oh I thought emptying your bowels was a sign you were about to go into labour!

Sorry don't mean to alarm you.

• I thought that was just diarrhea?

I had that for the last couple of weeks before DD was due. I still went overdue though and kept getting into false hopes it was the baby finally arriving!

Is it looser than normal? have you eaten anything very rich in fibre?

gets excited at the possibility of a new fresh bubba arriving soon

I spent most of my time in the delivery suite having DS telling the midwives I was not in labor, but rather needed to have a poo.

Nothing different to usual RGPargy. I really want to have a live labour thread. I want my waters to go in the evening and just sit on the laptop getting loads of attention from DH fellow MNnetters!

chloejess - I think I can remember being similar with DD2. Can't remember it being quite so frequent though. I need to go again and I only went an hour ago.

I thought it might be the baby laying near to my bowel hence I have more frequent bowel movements?

Oh yes it probably is. Just goes to show how much I know!!

As you were then!

I would quite like to go into labour now though fruitshoots, I am getting fed up now (as you do!).

oh ok I found Chicken Tikka Masala worked to bring on number 3!
