Frequent bowel movements near due date

We all know that when a pregnant woman reaches her due date, her belly will become particularly large, so her movements will become inconvenient. Some pregnant women may even have frequent bowel movements. Some pregnant women cannot defecate even if they feel like they need to defecate. This is because the fetus is trying to enter the pelvis in the body. So what should you do if you have frequent bowel movements when your due date is approaching?

In the late pregnancy, as the fetal head enters the pelvis and descends, it will compress the rectum and cause a defecation reflex. The bowel movements are usually not very loose. You may have diarrhea symptoms caused by improper diet. Observe first. If the frequency and amount of bowel movements are frequent, go to the hospital for examination in time.

In the late pregnancy, pay attention to proper exercise, a balanced diet of meat and vegetables, and monitor the baby's health. Pay attention to your body changes. If you have irregular abdominal pain, spotting, water breaking and other pre-delivery symptoms, go to the hospital in time to prepare for delivery. I wish you a smooth delivery.

Is frequent bowel movement a sign of labor?

Frequent bowel movements have no direct relationship with whether a woman is about to give birth, because each pregnant mother has a different physical condition, which determines that they have different bowel habits and conditions. If the pregnant mother has better gastrointestinal function, they will not have abnormal bowel movements during pregnancy; while some pregnant mothers have weaker gastrointestinal function, and they are prone to constipation or diarrhea during pregnancy.

Normal people will defecate once a day at a fixed time, and pregnant women are no exception. Although they eat a lot and one person eats for two, defecation is the mother's job alone. Therefore, whether the frequency of bowel movements increases or not has no direct relationship with whether the baby is about to be born.

There may be a small number of women who will defecate or urinate before giving birth, but those are normal physiological reactions and do not mean anything else. Pregnant mothers don't have to make themselves so nervous. Just pay attention to the proper intake of nutrition, regular bowel movements, and appropriate exercise during pregnancy, and let time decide the rest!
