Stomach bug or labour?

Last night I started getting regular contractions or BH every3 minutes that we’re innocent my back and lower abdomen and also felt in my hips. Quite intense and probably lasted about 45 seconds each.

I went to the toilet and had watery diarrhoea. Came back to bed more cramping then I was sick. Fell asleep then repeated this about 4 times in the night.

I’m 30 weeks pregnant and the diarrhoea has literally just started to settle a bit now and I have managed to drink some water and eat a banana. I’m now getting pressure down below which is also quite intense but comes and goes and some niggles in my back.

Could this be the start of labour OR is this a stomach bug causing all of this? Any experiences would be appreciated. Due to see my M/W tomorrow.

Midwife suggested I could be getting pelvic girdle pain. Has anyone else had this suddenly start up I’m 31 weeks today and the pain has been coming not long before I started this thread maybe 2 days? Gets worse with walking.

My daughter was diagnosed with SPD which sounds like what you may have .... certainly gets worse with walking. She's awaiting a physio appointment to hopefully help but, seeing as she only has 3wks left, I've a feeling it may be too little too late. Mention it to your midwife at next app ....
