Is it normal to poop during pregnancy?

Yep.Totally normal

Yes—pooping during pregnancy is completely normal. Your bowel habits may change, and constipation is especially common.

Your body keeps doing its usual bathroom business while you’re pregnant. Hormone changes, iron supplements, and pressure from the growing uterus can make you more constipated than usual; some people notice looser stools instead. There’s a wide range of normal.

Drink water, eat fiber-rich foods, and keep moving if you’re able. If you have severe pain, blood in your stool, or persistent diarrhea or constipation, check in with your pregnancy care provider.
