What Causes Constipation During Pregnancy?
I will be 29 weeks pregnant on monday. The last few days i have been pooping a lot. I usually only have one poop a day, the last few days it has been at least 3 every day. Today it was more like diarrea but it was hard to push out like constipation and it hurt so bad. Is this normal or should i call my ob? I hope it doesnt mean i m going into labor this early :/

Hello dear, thanks for trusting health care magic.
It happens in pregnancy but don't exert much while defecation as it can cause preterm labor pains.
Take lots of water, curd and salads these will set your bowel habits right.
All the best.
