Digestive changes toward the end? TMI warning.

ddembinska

I have had constipation issues my whole pregnancy, which I'm sure most if not all of you can relate to. It's usually a hard stool and not fun to pass once you finally go after 4 days.

I'm staying well hydrated, and I definitely feel more thirsty lately.  I'm still going a few days without going, but now it's soft and almost like a sick poo, if you know what i mean.  My stomach has also been iffy the last week or 2 as well. 

Did anybody else have this happen toward the end? I'm 36 weeks and 2 days. As of 2 days ago, my cervix is closed so I highly doubt that I'm going into labor any time soon. -_-

I've been having mushy poo for the last week, and better be near a toilet when you feel the need to go... Normal according to my midwife.

It's normal. Happened to me at about 38 weeks.

This is my first baby, but mine has definitely changed since 37 weeks and I usually wake up feeling nauseous now. My OB says it's completely normal and it's just your body's way of cleaning you out for labor when the time comes.
