Incognito because embarrassing question
I am 33 weeks and 2 days pregnant with my first a baby boy, I have had some really bad stomach pains these past 2 days I’ve been thinking they are Braxton hicks bc I’ve been drinking raspberry leaf tea for a easier labor when it’s time. Today I wake up with really watery bowel movement. Is this normal? Is my body just preparing itself for labor or should I be concerned?

Your body is preparing for labor.
@Grayson I did not know that! Thank you
It’s from a hormone called prolactin. It’s the hormone that softens your cervix, it can also soften your bowels! I’d also make sure your DR gives the thumbs up on the tea. I’m 34 weeks and was told it was too early for me to begin drinking it.

I have heard that raspberry leaf tea can actually have some laxative like effects on some people so maybe that’s the reason for your watery bowel movements?
