sorry...TMI but I have a question...

I'm due 2/21, already dilated 2 cm as of 2/2...this is my first, so this question is more for you ladies that have had a baby already--is it normal to have a BM all the freakin time towards the end? like, several times a day? It's been happening probably since Friday, and gosh I'm tired of it. I know diareaha (sp) is a sign labor is approaching, but is an overactive intestine in general a sign also? TIA!

I heard diarrhea is a sign of labor. But going several times a day, that happens to me too.

I had the same thing, starting around 35 weeks all my constipation was finally gone, I go at lease twice a day now, more if I have high fiber snacks.  As long as they are solid (sorry) doc says they are normal, you're just no longer having the constipation that you used to have.  Hormone shift is my guess!

i think having more bm is just normal towards the end..i have thought what you are thinking a few times and it has amounted to NADA
