Am 38+4 wks, have had 4 bowel movements today (first one triggered, I think, by chips and curry sauce at lunchtime), mostly looseish apart from last one which was diarrhoea - had lots of kicks this evening and went for long walk today - just unlucky or could this be the start of labour?!

I wrote almost this exact same post yesterday! I have been having this too, but am 36 weeks....lots of ladies replied saying that it's often the body having a clear out before labour starts- whether that means labour is hours/days away..not sure?!

Good luck though!

Thanks Leilababy just read your post and was about to comment on it, too!! Going to go and try and get to sleep quickly just in case (as if I'll be able to sleep through) well done on yours being 3/5 engaged!
