Bowels cleaning out before labor?

[TattooedMama]

A question for those who have experienced this in previous pregnancies. When your bowels cleaned out, were you just having several bowel movements or was it diarrhea? Kind of a yucky subject but I'm curious LoL.

Well from my 1st pregnancy my waters broke first then within 10 mins i was on the toilets with severe plops for a good few minutes, that was it until i had bubs.

I keep having to make hasty journies to the littlest room - my bowels are definitely having a life of their own right now

my MIL swears that she knew she was about to go into labor with each of her 4 kids several days beforehand as she had intense diarrhea!

Last time for me before labour started I went to the loo about 6-7 times for poos, they started off normal and slowly became diarhoea then at the end there wasn't really anything coming out.

My son was born on a monday, on the sat and sun I went to the loo a LOT more than usual! I was getting worried so I asked a friend who had kids and she said the same thing happened to her so maybe something was starting, and she was right x

Has anyone NOT had this? I only ask because it seems as if this is the one clue that I am waiting for to let me know I'm getting close. I'm ignoring strong BH, pains and cramps and just waiting for the clearout lol!

I actually never had this. I remember it had actually been a few days since I'd gone #2- it made me worried I'd explode during labor, but I didn't! lol

I dont remember having it with my son at all. I seem to be having bowel movements more frequently the last few days so thats why I asked about it

 

[Terangela]

I didn't have it with my other two, I had it twice so far so I thought maybe... As my diarrhea was followed by some intense bh. Still preggers here.

I just posted a thread about this!! And now I see this one!! I was wondering the same thing!! I have went this entire pregnancy with SEVERE constipation and all of a sudden I spent 2 or 3 days going several times a day, easily. And now I have diarrhea....very strange for me so I was wondering if something is going on!!

 

[johnoblueshoe]

This is what I noticed the last several days...just more often and soft. This morning has been a bit different but nothing severe. I just read that it's when your body starts releasing prostoglandin that causes the change in BM. I still have a few weeks so I'm not sure but I hope for you that it is sooooon!!!

I'm 36 weeks and have gone from constant constipation through my pregnancy to going 3 times a day - weird
