A member asked:
Im 31 weeks pregnant and am having alot of pressure and the urge to poop, is this normal and what can i do to help me be a little more comfortable?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
31 weeks pregnant: At 31 weeks, the weight of the pregnancy can cause pressure on the colon, and if bowel movements are not regular, or if constipated, this will accentuate the urge to defecate. Ask your OB provider for medication to assist with softening stools, and keep up your oral intake of liquids.
