Is severe frequent urination and frequent bowel movements a sign of labor?

Patient's question:

Since yesterday, I've been experiencing frequent urination and also having very frequent bowel movements. This morning, I felt short of breath. I'm a bit anxious.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, this may be due to the uterus expanding during pregnancy compressing the bladder, which is a normal phenomenon. It is recommended that you do not maintain a single posture for too long and adopt a side-lying position, alternating sides at night, to alleviate this symptom. Wishing you and your baby good health.
Generally, doctors advise patients with prenatal examination risk signs to maintain personal hygiene and avoid sexual activity. Additionally, patients should also pay attention to creating a comfortable environment, which is beneficial for rest. Wishing the patient a healthy delivery.
