Pregnancy and Bowel Movements (seriously TMI)

[lcappytan05]

So I read somewhere that when you get close to labor, you will have loose bowel movements...kind of the body's way to rid itself of all that and prepare for labor.

Anyways, I have gone to the bathroom like 5 times today and it has been fairly loose....

Also, a little bit ago I felt a weird, uncomfortable feeling....kind of like the baby was kicking/punching me in the pelvis. He hasn't dropped yet (and I know he may not).

He is always kind of active and moving around...

Also, I have been having (for the past few weeks) BH contractions everyday....

Do you think this means I might go into labor soon???

I know no one can really tell me for sure...but just some opinions would be helpful.

Oh, I am 36 weeks.

It could, but most likely your body is just preparing itself. You're still a bit early, I know it gets hard toward the end, but the baby is healthier inside you right now, but it's not too much longer, how exciting.

I know...I was just kind of curious....

Haha, you sound like me! I was so excited cuz my nipples started leaking earlier this week, so I thought that meant labor wasnt far behind....imagine my disappointment when my SIL said her nipples started leaking at 6mos and she carried full term...damn. Its hard not to get anxious this close to the end tho!

lol, well if it makes you feel any better, mine haven't leaked yet...lol
