*TMI warning* bowel movements

[lady_neon]

How many of you have had, um, interesting? bowel movements since being pregnant?

Last week, I couldn't poop. This week, I can't stop pooping (bad diarrhea ). Is this normal?

I had Fibogel on Thursday night to help it along, all good Friday & Saturday. Sunday... one bit into lunch and had to run to bathroom. It hasn't stopped I haven't eaten anything that would usually cause this (dairy products, I'm lactose intolerant), and I don't feel unwell. I don't get it.

Ah huh... mine seems to change day to day to day.. sprinting for the loo... or nothing at all and feeling all ugh.

yeh mine have been all over the place. mostly constipated though - but thats due to my gut issues more than pregnancy anyway.

the joys of pregnancy huh

if you have the juice of half a lemon in a cup of warm water every morning before breaky it does help with digestion (among other things) and might help keep you a bit more regular?

Yeah, that sounds pretty normal to me! Pregnancy wreaks havoc on your bowels!

I took Benefibre daily in both my pregnancies to keep me regular and I suffered from loose bowels in the third tri both times but if I didn't take the Bebefibre, I'd quickly block up. Go figure!
