Symptoms: Assuming you mean a bowel movement twice daily. Chances are you're having some contractions off and on and one of the chemicals associated with both contractions and frequent bowel movements is prostaglandin. Other than monitoring for labor, I would tell my own patient to try some immodium and gas x first. Prostaglandins cause loose/frequent stools
