I have heard that frequent bowel movements (in addition to everything else that goes along with progressing toward labor) is a good sign that labor is pending. It is the body's way of cleaning out the lower intestines in prep for labor and birth.

I have been super constipated my entire pregnancy. I mean, if I don't take extra fiber, it ain't happenin' and even when I do, it is, well, work. (Oh the perks of pregnancy!) But today I have been a poop machine! Seriously! I go nearly as much as I pee and it isn't like my stomach is messed up. It's not. Totally normal poops. Just a TON of trips to the bathroom! It has been nice not to have to work for it actually. lol.

Has anybody ever heard/experienced this? Dr. Google seems to agree but we know how reliable that medical license is....

(I knew baby poop was a normal conversation but I never thought I would be discussing my own!)
