Just wanted to let everyone know

rainydayluck

I'm not having "loose stools". Nor have I been throwing up. I'm good.

kat8805

Thank God. I thought I was the only one.

Mimaloo

Thank God! I've been so worried about everyone's recent pooping habits!!

First we heard "I can't poop", now it's "I can't stop pooping".

So you're definitely not in labor, then.

I have loose stools but only feel the need to torment my husband with that info. But if you ladies want I can tell you all about my discharge? Too far?!

bookishnerd

My poop is fantastic thankyouverymuch! My lower body is all effed up otherwise (seriously what the hell did I do to my leg in my sleep?) but poopin' ain't no trouble.

My poop is good. Glad we are in the same page.

I actually had trouble with the whole pooping thing until I got pregnant with DD (IBS)... somehow the hormones or something 'fixed' me... That's actually been a pretty good perk!

usernewname

glad to hear your all poopin' - either with or without difficulty

i had a bout of looser movements, but i attributed it to a massive strawberry smoothie i had the day before

Katemr1146

Wait - strawberries give you loose bowels? Is that a thing? Or just you?

daisy.ramirez

Same here! Didn't know if it was the hormones or prenatal vitamin.

Could be the milk in the smoothie, or the extra fiber. That's why I had a smoothie today!

This thread is awesome! Constipated here. Blah

Just to reassure everyone, I'm also happy with my pooping and general GI situation.

This happened to me too! Since getting pregnant, it seems like my IBS has really cleared up. Hoping it stays that way.

Could be just me. I think it was all the extra fibre. Plus the probiotics I take. No complaints though, helped things move along!

DD is almost two and it's been good ever since!  Here's hoping!
EDIT:  I've heard of it happening to other people too!

Same here!! Haha bizarre. I thought pregnancy lead to constipation but I've never been better.

cbrust

Checking in and confirming that I'm pooping regularly. Don't be jealous but sometimes it's even twice a day.
I have discovered that peanut butter gives me terrible, painful gas. I feel bad for DH.

I've mentioned it before....but for all you constipated girls. Eat some Flaming Hot Cheetos. Totally works every time to get things moving! Plus they are delish....two birds, one stone.

I'm probably in the minority, but my deuce-dropping sitch and my Crohn's has gotten better with pregnancy, with the exception of the one time I sharted, the nasty gas, and constipation (I've never been constipated in my life). Hooray for poop!

Not gunna lie, I've never had em.

Just remember: normal pooping is anywhere between three times a day to three times weekly. At least that's what I try to tell myself.

My GI system has a personality disorder. I never know what the day will hold. I'm on a digestive merry-go-round of constipation, diarrhea, and nausea...sometimes all in one day.

fatbarbie0226

Just wanted to say that my poops are a little different today than they were yesterday. Might have something to do with the two marshmellow brownies I had last night...

Or....

OMGZZZ THINK I'M IN LABOR???

I just wanted to tell people that I totally destroyed my toilet today. Seriously, I blocked it. Everything is fine now though, so everyone can relax. That's what happens when you get a little backed up. ">

I did that a few weeks ago, too. No shame.
