What Causes Urge To Poop In Midnight During Pregnancy?
It's disgusting I know but i'm curious and I need answers. I'm 35 weeks pregnant and 2 days in a row, I wake up in the middle of the night having the urge to poop. Even last night I pooped and this morning again. I'm wondering if I should worry about this because I never pooped like this in one day.

Hi, I have gone through your question and understand your concerns. Increased frequency ofsstools can be a symptom of diarrhoea, especially if the consistency of the stools is also changed.
I would therefore suggest you to consult an OBGYN specialist to get properly examined, investigated( including stool examination for ova/ cyst/ blood) and treated, preferably as an inpatient.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Wishing you good health.
