Clearing out before birth - poss TMI!

[VikingLady]

Lots of people talk about your body clearing out before you go into labour. Do they mean pooing lots, or the trots?

TMI but I'm 39w now and haven't eaten anything dodgy, but I'm pooing what is almost water! Praying this is it!

In my experience vomiting and diarrhoea! So it could be it for you - happened to me in the first stage of labour. Good luck!

For me it was severe trots. Went in bath, had to get out for loo, in car more worried about poo than waters going, in labour ward sat on loo-gas and air had long pipe-sh*ing and breathing- nice!

Was so dehydrated they couldn't find a vain. Was fine eventually.

Was violently sick after first birth but not second.

Thank you! I'd feel silly ringing the midwives to check
