Signs of Labour FTM

Hey guys,

looking for some advice, I am currently 37+5 and since last night and this morning I have had diarrhoea (tmi!!) and cramps that are similar to period cramps, all along the bottom of my back, under bump and down into groin area. I took paracetamol that eased the cramps but feels like they are becoming more intense again, not agonising but just more intense. My baby is breech so I am booked in for a C-section however I don’t have a confirmed date for this yet.
Does this sound like it could be the start of labour? Has anyone else experienced the same before labour has started? I’ve not had a show yet or any leakages of water.

Thank you in advance! X

Sounds like it could be. I’d ring your labour ward for advice. Hope all goes well!
