Colon Irritation: Late In pregnancy the large uterus can press against both your colon and your small intestine. This can cause irritation for some women. The irritation can manifest as both constipation and/or diarrhea. Keep yourself well hydrated, and as long as you aren't feeling ill, don't fret about it too much. Mention it to your OB at your next visit. DON'T take anti-diarrheals - they can be harmful to baby.
