A member asked:

I am pregnant 5 weekend n 5 day is a normal to pooping alots on pregnancy?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

BMs with pregnancy: It is normal to have several bowl movements when you are pregnant because you bowls and bladder are being pressed by the growing uterus. Hormonal changes and changes in your diet can also cause this. Even your prenatal vitamins can cause constipation or more frequent bowl movements
