Loose bowels - 38+4

[booflebean]

Given I have been needing to go once every two days the fact I have suddenly needed to go 4/5 times every day over the last 3 days is very noticeable!!

Anyone experience this just before labour?

I had this with DD1... Good 24 hours before labour!!!

If it is the same for you... Good luck!!!!

Sounds like you are having a good clear out which usually preceeds labour I think. Certainly did for me!

Good luck!

This is commonly noticed. I assume you feel well though? If you start feeling ill please call your midwife. Otheriwse - yes it's probably your body clearing the decks.......

I agree with all of the above & speaking from experience it looks like if maybe the start of fine things to come lots of luck

Ooo goodness me! Very very "heavy" down here as well last day or so.... yup feel totally fine otherwise northern :)

Thanks for the good luck wishes!!

Ive been having very loose bowels for two full weeks now, i am so tired of it been checked at hospital and the GP and everyone said the same things, 'my body preparing for labour' but god, does it really have to 'prepare' for so long? I hope this is not the case for you however OP! And that you are on your way to a lovely birth asap
