If you haven't eaten anything different that would cause you to have loose bowel movements, then yes, this could be a sign that you will be going into labor soon. Try to eat light and healthy. It's not uncommon if you have eaten too heavily to have a bowel movement while you are deliverying your baby. You don't want this to happen! Talk to your doctor about this too. I remember having the bowel movements. It was different for each of my pregnancies. If your water breaks, call your doctor right away. If you begin to feel cramps in your lower abdomen, like menstrual cramps, this could be labor pains. If they come in waves, time them. Talk to your doctor or midwife about any concerns. Good Luck!!!

No. It just means that the baby is putting more pressure on your colon, so you are going more. I know then end seems endless, but fear not, the day will come when the baby is ready. Just drink lots of water and take lots of walks. That helped dilate me early and lower the baby into the pelvis so I only had to push for like 20 minutes.

Yes, that happens, because your baby is getting ready and positioned, so he's pushing down what you have in your bowels. Try to eat healthy and light, tons of water and food rich in fiber. I couldn't say how long is it gonna be, could be still weeks, your little one is just going down for the big day.
Good luck

It is true, it's nature's way of clearing the system ready for birth, labour normally starts pretty soon after this, I think.

kinda, the baby's head is pressing against your bladder, but sorry, you probably have couple weeks to go. The last 2 weeks always feel like a year!

I had tremendous pressure. It felt like the baby was lifting up and slamming their head against where my cervix was. The baby itself causes pressure and makes you need to pee more. Hang in there it will happen soon enough.

yes, but this doesn't happen for everyone! if you're anxious, try having sex more often - this can help speed things up. other things that help speed things up are walking (alot!), & spicy foods.
