That's good to know indeed.  Since the baby went head down I have had more bowel movement frequency along with waking up and having to go pee in all hours of the night.

I was just in hospital over the weekend & am 31 weeks.  I was told if I get diarhea it can be connected with pre term labor.  Make sure you call your Dr.

Thank you so much, yeah I definitely think mine has to do with the changes of positions and the movement.  It seems to control everything that is going on in my body at this stage.  It's always nice to know you are not alone :D  I can't wait for this little one to be born, very excited!  Keep us updated as you get closer indeed.

It could just be the pressure of the baby causing loose stools.  You are at 34 weeks just like I am and I am having sporadic loose stools even with iron supplements.  When I have contractions the pressure increases and does cause both urinating frequently and more frequent bowel movements.  The best thing I am doing right now is just making sure I stay well hydrated.  Hope that helps, keep us posted.
