Pooping and labor?

I wouldn't say that means labor is approaching. I am 36w2d and having to use the bathroom 3+ times daily since like 34 weeks

I think you’re good. It’s usually just baby pushing everything around and putting pressure on digestive system with them having less room

I started having digestive problems and baby is showing no signs of being ready to come out any time soon!

@Emaleigh Lolol ok phew 😮‍💨 I keep seeing people say that they have intense urge to poop and poop a lot the days leading up to their labor. This was a little more than my norm so I got a little concern xD

@Jasmine literally. I legit be feeling like I gotta pee myself with every step I take these days 🥴🤣

I'm am 39 weeks

I'm 37w5, and I had 7 or 8 bowel movements yesterday! That is so not the norm for me. I think it is a sign that the body is preparing for labor, but I've got no idea when baby will arrive.

@Miya they say that contraction kinda make you feel like you gotta take a 💩 and apparently a lot of woman do poop themself while pushing 🤣 lowkey prefer this than constipation which was my biggest problem during my 1st and 2nd trimester 😩

@Kimmy I agree. I'm grateful that I haven't had to deal with constipation at all this pregnancy, but the sheer number of times I've pooped recently is making me wonder if labor is happening.
