Tummy bug or start of labour?

I am due on Tuesday but was induced last time so no symptoms at all. Felt off last night but had what felt like diarrhoea cramps (very high up, at the top of my tummy). Two bouts of diarrhoea at about 5am and them 11am.

Am I mad to think this could be the start of things or is more likely that I've just got a tummy bug? Not improving at all....

It could be. I had diarrhea in the afternoon then went into Labour in the early hours of the morning. Apparently nature's way of clearing the bowel out before all that push ing! Wishing you luck that it's Labour approaching and not a bug. Am guessing you are hoping to avoid another induction!

I'd say not a bug with the time diff between episodes.

Bugs are usually more frequent over a shiter space time!

Hope whatever you are ok

Ha! Love it!

Managed to sleep all night with a few gripey pains. No signs of labour though... Back to the waiting game
