Almost 37 weeks and having more bowel movements…labor soon??
I have never been one of those people that had a bowel movement everyday…but for the last few days I have had a bowel movement at least once a day..yesterday twice..(sorry tmi)..I was wondering anyone else had this same situation?? Did you go into labor soon after??? Do you all think this is like cleansing my body for getting ready to go into labor?? Thanks in advance for answering…Im so excited to have my baby boy…

I don’t know for sure, but I think that uterine contractions like period cramps, braxton hicks and real contractions kind of upset the bowels. Because I would have really painful braxton hicks contractions, and at the same time I would always have a bowel movement, usually diarrhea. And that happened a lot once I was getting close to my due date too. That happens with my period cramps a lot of the time too. So maybe your braxton hicks contractions are making you go a lot. That probably does mean its coming soon. But there is no way of actually knowing when your baby will come.
Possible – a lot of times it will be diarr. (tmi) when it happens.
It’s a good thing if you can make it past 38 weeks though – so try to relax! Full term is 38-42 weeks. Best Wishes and congrats!!!
I am 37 wks too and have had a lot too. Well yesterday I found out I am dilated 2 cm, my cervix thinned and the babies head is already down. The doctor told me its going to be soon, but didn’t give me a time period. A lot of people say that people can stay dilated and 2cm for weeks. I hope I go into labor soon, but what can I do. I am anxious!
Full term is 37-40 weeks, so if you do have your baby now, everything should be fine! I am also 37 weeks, and like you I have never been the type to go everyday, but latley I am going everyday, a few times a day! I don’t know if it means we are closer or not.
Good LucK!
