Frequent BM. Maybe TMI.

AprilSherlock

So as of tomorrow I will be 37 weeks and between today and yesterday I have been pooping alot more (like 6 times today), I've read somewhere that this could be a sign that labor is coming soon. I'm on Red Raspberry Leaf Tea and Evening Primrose Oil, could either of those 2 cause the frequent BM's? Anyone else experience this?

Your body clears itself out to prepare for labor!!  My body definitely did the same before both of my girls were born- could be soon for you!!

It might be a sign of impending labor. Then again, I have been pooping like it's going out of style for the past two weeks and my cervix is, as of Wednesday, not even dilated or effaced a teeny, tiny bit.

It might be a sign of things happening.  The week leading up to DS's birth, I went from constipation (that I had the whole pregnancy) to diarrhea about 3 nights that week.  With DD, I had no sign whatsoever that labor was approaching.  I hope it's a good sign for you, good luck!

The same exact thing has happened to me.  I'm 38 weeks and yesterday I was pooping like crazy and felt a lot of pressure.
