What Causes Loose Stools During Pregnancy?

I am currently 33 weeks pregnant with my third child. I have suffered from constipation through most of my pregnancy - until now! I don t have diaroehhea, but my bowels have been very loose the last few days and very regular. Is this a sign of impending labour?!

Welcome to healthcaremagic,
You may be suffering from diarrhea probably as a result of eating some contaminated food or water. This is not a sign of impending labour. Most women deliver between 36 to 42 weeks and you can expect to deliver during that period.
Hope that answers you question.
Regards, Dr.Ismail
