    I've had looser than normal bowels..and more than one a day on and off for two weeks, think it's hormones and pressure

    Hi I'm a bit like you (much more regular than normal) and am a bit worried that at 33 weeks it might just happen???
    The only time it has happened to me in the past is just before labour started or in the early stages... it has been happening for about a week for me now..sometimes it starts with a tummy pain, other times just feel the urge to go.
    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????? ?????????

    I had it happening in 1st and 2nd trimester and the OB put it down to hormones (not sure if that means the same for 3rd trimester) !!!

    I have been getting that too! Not every day, and not always diarrhoea, sometimes just 'looser' than normal. But sometimes with crampy tummy pains first, which vanish as soon as I've 'been'.

    I'm seeing my OB on Monday, might ask him. What did your OB say about it?

    She said that its probably just a tummy bug, but said to keep an eye on my temp, and if I have a fever to go to the doctors as it may be a sign of infection. She said I most likely picked it up in a public pool

    Although today, it hasn't happened at all, so maybe I am over it?
