What Causes Loose Bowel Movements In Pregnancy?
I'm 37 weeks pregnant and I have been having loose bowel movements about 3 times a day. The color is a medium greenish and sometimes it has black speckles in it. It has a foul odor sometimes too. Is this just the baby pushing on my organs down there or is it a sign that labor is nearing? Thank you!

Hello dear
Warm welcome to Healthcaremagic.com
I have evaluated your query in details .
* This seems to be in relation with intestine infection as uterus pushing will
usually lead to constipation rather than frequency .
Wishing you fine recovery .
Feel free to ask any further queries .
