3rd Trimester

Pooping too much. . . TMI?

I feel like I'm a poop machine.  Seriously, I poop like 3 times a day now.  Sometimes it's accompanied by lovely poop cramps too.  Now I'll even wake up in the middle of the night having to go.  Maybe I have an excellent cleansing system, but I've never gone this much in my life.

  • I had a poop spurt not too long ago.  But sadly, it has faded.  Sad

  • Me too!  I go 3+ times per day and have been doing this for a couple of weeks now.  Weird!  Oh yes, and the poop cramps are lovely too...
  • I am not a consistent pooper. lol Sometimes its very frequent and sometimes it takes a while.
  • I have been going 2 times a day since the beginning, now in the last few days it has increased to 3-4 times!

  • You are not alone! I am also going more than "normal."  I am hoping it passes soon, for all of us.
  • Me too!  I was taking Fiber One during 1st & 2nd tri...haven't touched those in a while.  I'm scared what could happen!

  • I'll have a day or two of no poop...and then BAM!   I'm a pooping machine for a day or two...I have also gotten up to poo in the middle of the night, which was weird. Huh?

  • I have had a similar problem - will it save us from hemorrhoids?  I read that sitting and straining too long contributes to them, so since I barely make it sometimes, I should be hemorrhoid-free, right?

  • I'm glad I'm not the only one.  My spurt has just started in the last few days so now I know I have nothing to worry about.  I think it has something to do with where the baby is positioned also.
