Anyone going from constipated to the opposite?

Stellasmom · June 2011

I think I vaguely remember this from my first pregnancy, but the last couple of weeks it seems like instead of being constipated all of the time, I won't go for a day or two, and then I'll have a day where I get rid of everything at once (stomach cramps and mild diarrhea). Has anyone else had this experience in the third trimester?

This happened to me early on in 2nd tri until I figured out it was due to my prenatal. I've not really had constipation since then, but I do definately have days that I seem to go more than others. I'll joke with DH that baby has been "laying on my poop pipe," and when LO moves I have to go, go, go! It may have to do with the increase in fluids since it's been hotter lately. I drink water like a camel. I hope things get better for you...good luck!

I haven't experienced constipation this time around thankfully, quite the opposite actually. But my prenatals and iron pill both contain stool softeners, so I feel like I constantly have to go.

Me me me! But more often. I was thinking about asking the dr about it, but I don't go till next week and I feel silly calling them like every day. They think I'm crazy!

I have an appointment tomorrow and am going to ask about it. I'll try to remember to post my OBs response.

I haven't had a normal poo in months! I'm either running to the bathroom or backed up. There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason for my bathroom habits.

I switch between the two. I had diarrhea so bad a few weeks ago that I called in- they weren't too concerned, just had me stick to a bland diet for a couple days and said immodium was ok. As soon as I called- it was gone. Wierd.

I actually noticed a trend- I think I am becoming lactose intolerant. Milk seems ok, but cheese isn't..??? I don't understand!

Yup, right now. It sucks but nothing I do seems to fix it

Yea, this has happened to me a couple times so far... Not in the past 2 wks or so though... Not fun:-/

Yes! I am experiencing that right now. I went to my OB appt on monday and the doctor checked me and said the baby's head is really far down in my cervix and my cervix is thinning but not dilated. It is due to the pressure from your little one.

I just had this this morning! I was having a BH and then I felt crampy...like poop crampy. I ended up going like four times this morning. At least it's coming out!

I've definitely had a change, but not to that extreme. I've gone from every couple of days to multiple times a day in the last week or so. It's so weird because I'm not changing my eating habits or anything.

Just another weird pregnancy thing :S
