Does the clear out necessarily mean loose bm??

[Lilbean2]

I do wonder the above question.. I have been going to the bog a good few times a day.. But it's not a really loose movement..

Isit possible to have a clear out without it being a loose and runny one?

I'm curious about this too - I've had an increase but not diarrhea.

For my previous two births, I had no diarrhea. But I did have bowel movements A LOT. So much that when I was in true labor I gave myself an enema and nothing came out. Lol. So my body naturally cleared it all out.

Last week I had lots of loose BMs but no diarreah. Thought my pregnancy I've been pretty constipated so it was a shock to suddenly. Be able to go so easily. This week though, it has gone back to being difficult to go. So frustrating!
