Multiple times motion in pregnancy
Hi Doctor,
I'm six months pregnant and for the past month or more, I've been having multiple bowel movements a day — sometimes up to five times. It's not diarrhea; the stool looks normal, just small in quantity. I feel okay otherwise, but I'm wondering… is this something that commonly happens during pregnancy? And is there anything I should be doing or watching out for?
