I'm 36 weeks right now, but over the past week I've been having a lot more frequent bowel movements. I know diarrhoea is a sign of labour, but what about just an increase in bowel movements? Before I used to be so constipated (even before getting pregnant it could be days without going), but now it's anywhere from 1-4 times a day - and not little pellet poos either - these are big ones, and I honestly didn't know it was possible to go so many times in a day and have so much come out (sorry way TMI!). They're slightly looser stools, but no where near diarrhoea. Basically what I want to know is how far in advance did your body start preparing and emptying it self before birth? My due date is Aug 29th, but with the increase in bowel movements already at 36 weeks is this a sign baby may come early?
