Poop - TMI

in 3rd Trimester
Has anyone noticed that they are pooping a lot more as their due date approaches? I haven't been eating anything to increase the frequency. I am usually a one day person. Yesterday I pooped 4x. Today it's been 3x and it's only noon. Is this normal?

    I'm experiencing this too and I'm at 31 weeks... And it's, uhm, not as solid either. Which is weird. Hmm

    So funny--I have been pretty regular throughout my pregnancy--some constipation but not horrific..OB said it could be the prenatal vitamins..Right now I'm in 3rd tri and going at least once or twice a day..

    I am pooping a lot more than normal and really hope it's a sign of closing in on labor.

    OMG - YES!

    I'm not normally a very "regular" person, once a week if I'm lucky.  Pregnancy made me more regular (couple times a week) but now it's at least twice a day.

    Sounds like I'm experiencing what many of you are so I too feel better!  I had been somewhat constipated throughout this first pregnancy.  I became a once a day, dark, and like rabbit pellets (TMI!). My Dr recommended stool softener so I started taking one 2x/day which REALLY helped. But lately I'm definitely going more frequently and it's lighter and messier. (Is this prepping me for baby :) ?? ) So I've eliminated one stool softener a day. Too nervous to elimate the other one because I've been fortunate to have eluded hemerrhoids thus far and I'm nearing the finish line.
