Body clear out before labour
Has anyone else experienced this? I had constipation up until around 32 weeks (I’m now 35 weeks). Since then I’ll go a few days without emptying my bowels (normal pre-pregnancy so I wasn’t concerned) but on day three I’ll go about 3-4 times a day which isn’t normal for me. Is this my body clearing out getting ready for labour?

This happened to me a lot during my pregnancy.
They always talk about constipation but not the other, which is also normal 😅
Tmi, but I had to keep running to the bathroom during labor because having contractions wasn't enough 🙄
Clearing out for labour isn't alternating constipation and multiple poops a day. Its like 8-10 times in a day as your contractions start.
You're just in the 3rd trimester and experiencing constipation.
I think this sounds like normal hormones for third trimester. I’m nearly 36 weeks and experiencing softer stools atm! X
I didn’t have a diarrhoea clear out before birth, but I did vomit twice while in labour
