woke up this morning with the worst bowels ever. Had really bad cramping until I went, now I just have period pains, feeling like I need to go again but unable to is this normal? Baby's moving around rapidly and I'm scared it's distressing him. Also when I did go, my bump went really tight and tensed up

Sounds like the start of labour to me!

CanIGoToBedNow · 07/05/2015 08:40

Sounds like you're going into labour - good luck!

Chickenfillets · 07/05/2015 08:42

Really?? I don't have any severe pains just period pains that come for a few seconds then go again. I feel completely normal in every other way though? Just feels like a dicky stomach.

CanIGoToBedNow · 07/05/2015 08:42

The diarrhoea is just your body clearing out getting ready for baby coming.... So hopefully no 'accidents' when you're pushing!

Period pains and bump tightening could possibly be Braxton Hicks or contractions!

Chickenfillets · 07/05/2015 08:45

Oooo how exciting thanks!

SycamoreMum · 07/05/2015 08:56

Rosieliveson · 07/05/2015 08:58

Sounds like early labour to me. Baby should be here by weekend

Chickenfillets · 07/05/2015 08:59

I hope your all right my dsis had a dream I was going to go into labour today. How spooky if I do!

LeonoraFlorence · 07/05/2015 09:05

Sounds like me exactly 10 weeks ago today. I'm sitting here cuddling my 10 week old DD :) good luck!

tinytops · 07/05/2015 09:11

Baby's coming

Sweetpea80 · 07/05/2015 10:52

Definitely sounds like labour is starting. I had exactly the same symptoms when I had my DD2.
good luck Chickenfillets

HollyJollyDillydolly · 07/05/2015 10:54

This is how my labour with my ds started, the runny tummy cramps were actually early contractions. See if they increase or become regular. Good luck!

OMGBabyNo3 · 07/05/2015 11:12

I'm with everyone else. Def early labour. Get some rest now whilst you can!! X

Chickenfillets · 07/05/2015 12:01

slithytove · 07/05/2015 12:04

love a live birth thread

Are you all packed and ready?

FructoseTart · 07/05/2015 12:07

How exciting!

Body's natural way of clearing out ready for the big finale!

Chickenfillets · 07/05/2015 12:16

Yep all packed and ready have been for ages can't stop peeing aswell, had more trips to the toilet today than I have in my whole pregnancy.

OP posts:

Hippymama1 · 07/05/2015 12:32

How exciting! Good luck with everything!

HollyJollyDillydolly · 07/05/2015 12:42

Definitely sounds like things are Happening. :)
I also had to wee loads in labour because baby was wriggling down to get out. Hopefully not long now then.

Chickenfillets · 07/05/2015 13:42

Managed to go toilet again and pains seem to have died down maybe it was just a dicky tummy.

HollyJollyDillydolly · 07/05/2015 13:45

Oh no! Get on that birthing ball or go for a walk/up and down the stairs :)
