Period Poops

Lol alright ladies… i need validation on this because my husband doesn’t believe me that “period poops” is a thing.. When I get my period and I’m cramping really bad I poop way more than usual… normally i poop 1-2 times a day but when I’m going to start my period/beginning of my period it’s more like 3-4 times a day…
Does anyone else experience this or is it just me??? 😂😂😂

Yes, and it has two reasons. The uterus contracting to shed the lining stimulates the bowel area and the hormones can cause loose stools as well! 100% real

Yes, definitely a thing.

I don't necessarily poop more but they definitely change. more pastey, not a full satisfying poop, definitely like a unpleasant one lol

100% a thing and for me at least, it’s EXTREMELY painful. comes very close to the pain of child birth 🥲

Yes! Definitely a thing

Oh yeah definitely experience that! I actually just read one of these articles on why we have them and it’s something about like it relaxes our rectum muscles, but the cramps we receive from the period poops are excruciating and all part of this big process of our bodies shedding the old lining.

Had the worse period poops on my wedding night…
When I was getting my wedding dress my friend was like “aren’t you going to wear some sexy underwear”
like no. We are wearing a tampon, pad, underwear, shorts and literally everything to avoid having blood show up on my wedding dress in front of everyone.
