Just in case it comes back again and it's not a bug, here's my story in case it helps..
I've generally been 'loose' throughout the preg - no constipation for me!
Throughout the third trimester, every time I wake up to wee in the night, I also need to go #2. I get pain in the tummy otherwise but that pain instantly disappears when I go. When I get up in the morning I'll go a couple more times and that usually does me for the day!
Like Linzy said I believe it is the hormones and the extra pressure on the intestine that's causing this.
I also seem to be extra sensitive to little bugs eg if I eat somewhere with questionable hygeine standards I'll suffer for a couple of weeks. Doesn't stop me from eating dodgy curries though!
I don't think I'd be a candidate for castor oil induction - my uterus is used to an active bowel next to it! So Blackduckies I think that a bit more pooing than normal is not going to disturb bub too much
