recommended read and a TMI Q!

[new mrs G!]

Hi all. Hope you are all okay. I come on here loads but rarely leave posts as a lot of my questions are answered on here already!

BUT....just wanted to recommend a book i started reading only yesterday called 'secrets of the baby whisperer' by tracey hogg. It has some of the info i picked up at the baby show and is very easy to read. I just started maternity leave ( as i teach) and so have some time now -wahoo!
Anyway, its made me feel more relaxed and confident already even though ive only read 2 chapters, and as a 1st time mummy reassurance is just what i need!

Now for my question ( sorry if TMI) ...

I'm 32 weeks now and am far from constipated if ya know what i mean ( not diarroheah though ) and was wondering whether anyone else has experienced this? Just wondered if there's a reason for it as ive been going very regularly for over a week now.

Thanks for reading

At that stage Id literally be out shopping or something and have to dump the trolley and dash to the loo like a mad woman lol. I'm hoping it's normal x

Dont hold me to this, but i heard AGES ago that before you give birth your body um.. evacuates.. to help keep it clear for labour? its something to do with making sure the nest is clean.. umm yeah.
