Bowel issues: There are many reasons including food poisoning, an illness contracted from a contact, but, it could also be happening because you are getting ready (your body) for labor. Your body produces a substance called prostaglandin that help with labor. They act on smooth muscle. Your uterus is made up of smooth muscle so is your bowel. The prostaglandin maybe making your bowel contract and empty quickly
