38 weeks pregnant, bump has dropped and upset tummy

[Fedup1992]

Hey I'm 38 weeks pregnant, over the last week or 2 my bump has dropped it's all soft at the top (not felt that softness for a while ;) )

But today iv just got home and had the worst tummy ache (obviously not that bad compared to what's coming) and had dioreah (sorry if it's TMI) not one that likes admitting that girls poop haha.

Iv heard that you can have an upset tummy when the end is near anyone else had an upset tummy just before labour? Xxx

Yes, clearing the decks before the pushing starts ;) x

Yep, it's a sign things could be moving along

Oooh how exciting..

Iv got so much energy now too. Cleaned the whole house today on my hands and knees. Don't know where it's come from because this time two weeks ago I was the walking dead... Xxxxx

Nesting - it's happened to me too, went into labour 12 hours later x

Yes, I thought I must have food poisoning as I had the worst upset tummy and could barely eat for a week before labour began. Now I'm sure it was my body preparing for the labour. Exciting - good luck!

I'm 39 + 3. I had symptoms exactly like as you describeat the beginning of the week but everything has settled down now.

I was at a monitoring appointment this morning & baby is totally engaged...Midwife was baffled as to how I was managing to walk normally!
