WARNING: not a super pleasant post but I want to record my thoughts/feelings/actions during pregnancy accurately.
Everyone always says that pregnant ladies have to pee more frequently. I jus never expected it to be as much as it has been!
I have had moments where I will go to the restroom and less than 10 minutes later it will feel like I haven't gone for hours!! Like today....in the car on a 6 hour drive!! I felt so bad for Derek! We had hit the rest stop and where quickly back on the road when within a few minutes I felt like I had to go again. I tried to shift in my seat to get rid of the feeling because I really didn't want to ask to stop again. Finally I sucked it up and told Derek I would need another bathroom stop! The problem came when we couldn't find a stop for almost 30 minutes. I was never so happy to see that blue rest stop sign!!
Everyone is told about peeing a lot but it's rarely mentioned that pregnancy can affect your bowel movements!
I am not for sure why I thought it wouldn't. Maybe I just never really thought about it until it started happening. I mean think about it: hen you are pregnant you 1) eat more and 2) are slowly loosing room inside of you due to the baby. So it makes sense that you would end up with more BM's.
Now every pregnancy is different, so much so that some women actually suffer from bad constipation. My body gets super full before it allows me to go. Having a good BM during pregnancy is one of the greatest feelings ever!
