Is this the start of something?

[Peach04]

I am 38+4 and have had an upset stomach every morning for the past three days and then today all day I have been getting strong braxton hicks way more frequently than I ever have before. Not painful at all though. The last hour I have also been getting very mild crampy feelings that almost feel as if they are in my bum(?!) I have no idea if this is all just normal or if I should be on alert i.e get an early night etc!

Sometimes the body "fully evacuates" just before labour. So have you basically shat a metric tonne past few days?

Any big snot-like blobs in your pants? If so it may be your "show".

The thing for me about your post that makes me wonder if it's game on is cramps in your bottom....

nothing interesting in my pants but yes, lets just say after 6 months of being constipated iv now gone the other way(!) agh I wish there was a way of knowing! Trying not to get my hopes up/ get scared yet!
