Frequent bowel movements 30 weeks pregna
Hello
My wife is 30 weeks pregnant and she is needing to go for bowel movements for 3 to 5 times a day. The stool is normal and not watery. There is no pain in the abdomen or any such discomfort. She does not consume any outside food as well. We consulted many doctors but the only thing suggested was probiotics. She is on high progesterone dose due to her history of complicated first pregnancy. Blood and stool reports are normal. Can someone please suggest is it something to worry about?

Make sure hydration is maintained. Make sure she is having enough water. Dehydration can affect the baby. Rest , have a high fibre diet. She can have banana. 2 per day. And lots of greens.
