I'm a poop machine...

[Sadie Lake]

So, I've had the opposite issue in this pregnancy vs last time in regards to pooping... I've been super soft. Not quite di-di, but very soft.

Anyhow, I don't think its related to labor in any way because I unfortunately don't have any other early labor signs, but I've been pooping like crazy!

Seriously, its like almost every time I put food in my mouth I have to go. They're not big poops though. Is it just that I don't really have enough room left in there for my intestines to bulk up? Or could it be related to labor getting close.

It has been happening for over a week now, with no accompanying mucus, ctx, or anything. Anyone else having this issue?

I've been having irregular ctx the last little while as well though.. and I think I might be starting to lose tiny bits of my plug.
I'm concerned that I'll end up with a super fast labour.

Yep. No other signs of labor beyond a little cramping and some ctx here and there (like every other day or after DTD). But...sheesh...at least twice a day (which is really unusual for me) and at odd times (like last night at 1am...WTH?!).
Oh well...clean it out, I say!

Oh...and I'm due Sunday.

Not super-frequent, but I have found it funny that for the last month or so, I poop before breakfast AND after breakfast, every day. At least I manage to squeeze both events in (er, out), typically before my shower!

I'm about the same place as you - I notice ctxs daily but they are super inconsistent and don't really seem to be showing any signs of picking up. But I'm going to the bathroom a couple times a day - super weird for me. Not due on Sunday, but it does feel like my body is starting to ready itself in this aspect, anyway!
