Diarrhea (sorry!) and other symptoms

[Rosebud1302]

Hi all,

For the last 3/4 days I have been having about 3 episodes of diarrhea a day. I have also been having periods of pressure "down below" for longer than that - feels like baby's head is pushing down as well as Braxton Hicks. The nausea I had early on in pregnancy is also back after eating.

Do these sound like signs something could be happening soon?? Any experiences from anyone??

TIA :)

Cheeky bump!!

How far along are you OP?

Hi, I have the symptoms has you. I'm 39+5 weeks i really hope these are signs! Im so fed up of waiting around now i just want my baby here!

I'm having the same symptoms

Sorry that was a silly thing to not say! I'm 37 weeks tomorrow. Interesting to hear other people getting the same feelings! Something inside is telling me it won't be long but I hope I am right!

Sounds exactly like the run up to my birth. With period like pains. Lasted 2 weeks before my little girl came x

Oooo how exciting!! Hopefully not long then :)

I would make sure your bag is ready! With my first I had no symptoms at all then one day went into labour. Whole thing lasted 27 hours, nice and relaxed, lots of drugs...lovely. Second baby, all the same symptoms as you for the 2 weeks then BOOM woke up one morning with the same pains but this time my waters went all over my bed (and poor hubby haha) had the baby an hour and 5 mins later xxx

Oh wow!!! Just shows how different every pregnancy is. Yep bag is packed and ready, saw midwife today and he has definitely engaged further so who knows, might not be long now!

Owww I hated the waiting round...Hopefully it is soon for you xxx

That's exactly how my labour started with DC1. Thought I had food poisoning and had reduced movement so had to go into hospital to be monitored for a few hours. All was fine but the machine was picking up small contractions that I didn't know I was having. Went home and felt fine.
2 days later I was at home in full labour on the birthing ball!

Good luck with your arrival

Thanks so much everyone!! Hopefully won't be long until we can meet the little man :D

How you doing OP?

Hi :) nothing yet :( diarrhea has stopped. Still having the pressure down below and he has moved down lower but definitely not getting the feeling anything is imminently going to happen!
