3rd Trimester

XP -- The poops (TMI)

I know that it's normal to clear your bowels before labor, so loose stools should be an expected harbinger of impending labor. I've been rushing to the bathroom after nearly every meal (usually within half an hour) for the last three days. Anyone know how long this symptom can last before I can expect to go into labor?

  • I started doing that today. It scared me. The doctor said I may be a few weeks further along than they originally said, My original DD is 11/11 so I could be between 35/38 weeks., yikes.

    I am in the same boat.

    I have been having soft and frequent stools for about a week now. It kinda sucks.

  • I had diarrhea for a few days over a week ago-still pregnant!
  • Ditto to all the poops! Hope it means something... this may be really silly but I keep getting confused if I am feeling contractions or BH or poop pains. Annoying really more than anything else.

    Oh no! Sending labor dust your way.

  • Wow i never had that problem but I think it is because I had to be induced with my daughter and had a C-Section with my two boys. I hope that, that stops soon.
