Anyone else having some soft BMs now a days?

 

[kriket]

yes! But I've been sick too, so I figured that was related.

And not to hijack, but the birth instructor said yesterday that some of the precursors to labour could be flu like symptoms. I'm pretty sure I have the regular cold though.

 

[lil_miss_understood]

Yes, but mine corresponded to my increasing my vitamin C intake..

 

[runner29]

Yes! Several for the past couple days, which is not normal for me at all. It made me start thinking about the possibility of something starting to happen, but I'm not getting excited yet. I'd really like the baby to wait until after the 17th (mostly for work reasons - we're not exactly sure of dates, so I just trust the baby to come out when fully cooked, but after the 17th would be better for my transition into maternity leave!!

I am really not sure of why I have been having soft BMs. I don't believe its change in diet. Its been happening for the last week or two. I am currently sick with a cold and am almost better, but that doesn't seem to be the reason because it was happening before that I think. I have had an increase of discharge over the last month, no blood though. I haven't noticed having any BHs at all unless I over exert myself. I do feel some pushing on my cervix and I know baby is head down. I had dd 10 days early. I wonder if he will be early or not. Who knows!

Me! I was laughing this morning after my morning routine. Said to my hubby, who ordered soft serve? (We revel in potty humor)

Hah, thats awesome.
DH and I too have no shame discussing BM's if its amusing.

 

[jeliphish]

Very!

 

[cmoma]

Yup I've noticed it over the last week or so. I was wondering if it was my body getting itself ready? Hope it doesn't get too ready! I am totally content going to 39/40 weeks.

 

[j_p_i]

Yep! but I figured it was because I'd started taking probiotics about 6 weeks ago, and so I've gotten progressively better in this department (I was miserable before, it was really hard to go!). So I've started taking the acidophilus with every meal, and figured this was just a result of that.

 

[JD5351]

The "consistancy" hasn't really changed, but I've been doing it a lot more. Like went from once every 2 days, to 2-3 times per day.

 

[scrappingmom]

yup.. on consistancy and frequency... i forgot about it being a possible sign and body getting ready... hmm i'm having alot of those "could be" signs... we'll see

 

[j_p_i]

Oh, yes definitely an increase in frequency too. Again I figured this was just a pleasant result of taking all the probiotics. Huh.

Changes in consistency and frequency here too, not corresponding to anything else different in my health or diet. But I have been feeling a bit more nauseous than usual lately...no good explanation for that either...maybe precursors to labor?
yikes. need to get things together pronto!

 

[Kelly1101]

Yes, in consistency, not frequency.

This could in no way be an impending sign of anything, though.

I think I'm still in denial that I'll be having a baby at all.

 

[Sadie Lake]

Me too!

But, I'm taking some additional supps to get my iron up, so I've attributed it to that. But, the other night I had a little upset tummy and di...you know... I thought it might be something happening.

Thankfully not because I'm just coming up on 35 weeks and my m/w won't do homebirths before 36.

I just started noticing this too in the last couple days, but I've been taking probiotics too now, so I thought it could be that? I guess its better than constipation no matter what the reason!
