Hi ladies

I'm currently 37 + 5
For the past week I've had on and off diahreah with nausea, increased discharge, period cramps on and off down below travelling to my thighs. I'm having a pressure pain down low in the bottom of my back like someone's twisting and I feel overall heavier and needing the loo more. Today I noticed my bump has went funny....can labour be near?

I feel like I'm in same situation , I've had diarreah on and on for last 2 weeks and now I have flu like symptoms and mild period cramping I'm only 33 weeks so obviously worried . Hopefully it's a sign for you though! I've read loads online and having diarreah is deffo a sign as its clearing your system out ready for labour! And same with flu I have a runny nose and read that is clearing out ready for labour also! Not sure if that's true but it's what I read, I might just have a common cold 😂😂 . I also have loads of watery discharge went to get checked and wasn't my waters so just increased discharge . I've also being loosing my mucas plug for weeks now I think it's just re growing ! 🙈

Sounds like body is gearing up but still could be weeks. Try and carry on calmly and enjoy this uncertain time!

I remember when I was having all that and was so sure it was coming. I was so excited. Labour started a week and a half later. Sometimes your body just starts preparing for labour bit by bit and these symptoms can last a couple of weeks. Good luck!
