gross question...but I need to know

[jessabella]

how many times should we go to the loo to do ...you know ..a poo!
Im just thinking Im not going enough and maybe becoming a little constipated..not sure..as I feel fine..but woundering if this added pressure might be added to this..I just thought it was due to low baby and having my stitch put it...
sorry to gross anyone out ..but hey you know ..were pregnant here!

You know I have been wondering the same ... I don;t go everyday though ... Usually only a coupld of times a week I go ... But then that was the same before I was pregnant ... Think I need to eat more fiber or something!

Hehe, well I guess each person is different hun! And constipation is part of the territory as your bowels do slow down due to hormones. So I guess it's ok if you're not going as often as you would normally? I find bloating due to a slower digestive system really doesn't make things very comfortable, but apart from a high fibre, healthy diet and plenty of water, there's not a lot that can be done I suppose!

I guess ... But I also have IBS so I guess that contributes to my poo problem ...

 

[jessabella]

Well I know I was going okay..like every two days or something but as of lately I just cant remember..hahaha..not that you all want to know my poo schedule..I do know that i havent had much water or veggies in the past three days so that could contribute.

I think the 'ideal' when not pregnant it once a day at roughly the same time of day. I also have IBS and never had that in my life! Nowadays I either don't go for 3-5 days or I get the runs and go 4 times in one day!

I think you should ask a midwife of you haven't been for more than 5 days or get very bad diarrhoea lasting more than a day as that can trigger contractions.

Other than that, I think pretty much anything goes!

I usually go once a day in the morning...somedays I go twice...guess it just depends what I eat...and how much water I drink.

before I was pregnant, I didn't go very often at all... 4 times a week at the MOST... I'm still pretty irregular but I might go every day now (not at the same time though)

I can't help but feel like a little 6 year old and giggle that we're talking about poo.... lol, I can be so immature.......
