IS THIS NORMAL?
Hi im 34 weeks and 5days I was wondering is it normal to keep having bowl movements everyday more then once. what does it mean is my body getting ready for labor?
No it does not mean your body is getting ready for labor. Poop takes up space inside your body and you have essentially a bowling ball in there now that needs as much room as possible so your body clears itself out a lot more often to make that room for baby. Your body does not "clear itself out for labor" especially since most women still poop and pee during delivery, the only reason people say this is because the constant pooping/diarrhea happens at the later stage of pregnancy which of course (like every stage of pregnancy) occurs "before" birth.
