Have just been woken up by severe Diarrhea at 37weeks

[SupermansGirl]

Hi all i will be 37 weeks Mon and I really am not going to miss late pregnancy 1 bit.

Basicly just wrote this post to say anyone that has been suffering with diarrhea in these last weeks I really do feel for you.

Iv just been woken up by the worst belly cramps due to mine and then spent the last half hour stuck on thetoilet. And its still not done!! Where does it all come from!!

I would love to think this is my body getting ready for labour but i doubt it as I dont see myself going into labour anytime soon:(

Does anyone take anything for it? What do you recommend? What cant i take? Should I see the doctor if it hits a certain point or am I wasting tgeir time?

It could well be your body gearing up for the main event, why don't you see it happening soon?

As you're up I'd suggest packing your hospital bag and writing your husband/partner a list of things you NEED for when you get home e.g., coffee/milk/bread/butter/cheese/champagne! :)

It could be the start. 37 weeks is within the "normal" window....

My labour started with cramps and diarrhea! Have that hospital bag ready just in case!!

If it's not labour then hope it eases soon and you feel better, make sure you sip water so you don't get dehydrated, maybe take some rehydration salts to rebalance.

Erm, I had this...and dd2 arrived the next day

Good Luck

I think this will be the start too! Hope you're ready and for Christmas

This is exactly how i started off with dc2. Woke up needing to poo badly around 2 a.m and exploded, ds was here within 6 hours. I was 8 days over due though! Did any more happen?

That's how I started with DC2 and DC3. Good luck.

My labour with ds started with diarrhea and cramps that I thought were pains because of that. They were actually early contractions though. He was born at 37 weeks.
Hope you have your bag packed.

I had this with both of mine, though with both it was a few days before labour started, but i do think my body was getting ready (or starting very slowly.....) Good Luck and keep us posted :)

Hi everyone, thanks for all the replies!

The reason I dont think I will go into labour soon is because I have had no signs symptons at all yet..no BH, no show nothing!! The cramps have eased off but still going to the toilet.

Hospital bag is packed we will just have to sit back and wait to see what happenes. Would be lovely to meet my little one before Xmas!

Hi - I had a D&V bug at 32 weeks, don't "take" anything (ie Imodium) but just do usual of lots of water.
Could be a bug, could be a random thing, could be labour. Basically don't stress.

I was told by MW and GP friends that your baby will take everything it needs from you first (lovely little parasite that it is) and therefore you may feel worse than usual so take it easy (ie feet up!)

I had no BH, no show and the head wasn't engaged the day before either.

I didn't ever have BH with my two. My waters broke with dd1, but not til birth with dd2 . Dd2 was the one I had the squits with. It arrived on the Friday, all day Saturday, and then Sunday afternoon she was born.

I woke up last night at 3 in the morning with diarrhea was on the toilet for an hour but was up for 2 hours with cramps really bad cramps what should I do cuz I'm still having those cramps I'm 37 weeks and 1 day

Can anyone help me I’m 36 weeks pregnant 2nd baby and I have diarrhoea starting this morning and can’t be away from the toilet for long. I am having cramps also along side this

Is this the beginning of labour as I wouldn’t know as first born I was induced.

If anyone could help me that would be great.

Hello Mrs Smith.... Could be... Give yourself a few hours or so and see how you are feeling.. Ie is it getting worse, same or better?
Baby still moving as normal?

I had bad diarrhoea two hours before I went into labour xx

Mrs Smith.... How are you now?
