I'm 39+4 and last night I came over boiling hot, awful heartburn, feeling sick, feeling like I had start of a cold and had to sit on the toilet for 20 minutes with constant diahorria like water (tmi) then about 30 minutes later it all passed and I felt cold and ok.

Been hearing this could be a sign of labour! This is my 4th pregnancy and I have never experienced anything like it with my last 3, they were all also a week late so just wondered if anyone had anything similar leading up to labour?

Yup, your body tends to have a clearout before the big day.

If it's your 4th time then I'm sure you know the early signs to look out for.

Have you had a show?

I didnt have it with DD but had read that it is a common sign of impending labour. Mysecond pregnancy has been totally different so am expecting it this time round.

Fingers crossed you get a nice sneeze birth in the next 24 hours!

I had this. I spent a night on the loo and with terrible heartburn. Had a baby the next day.

That's the thing wandadof I have never experienced anything like this before the birth of my first 3, never had a show with any of them and just woke in full blown labour each time.

never even had braxon hicks before until this pregnancy

I had a 'major' clearout before labour but twenty mins max before it all kicked off with all 3 of mine.

I did too, diarrhoea for a good couple of hours before labour really kicked in.

This was 24 hours ago now and nothing since, whilst it was going on baby was moving around so much it was like a washing machine going for about 2 hours non stop!

Today I have felt fine, just very achey down below and pressure in bum so maybe it was nothing or just something I are
