Diarrhoea before labour (tmi sorry)

[squiglyline]

I have heard from a lot of people that diarrhoea can be an early sign of labour.

Yesterday and last night I had a lot of Braxton Hicks and then woke up today and have been backwards and forwards to the toilet every 20 mins since 7/8 this morning 🙈

I’m only 30+5 weeks so really hoping she’s not on her way just yet.

Please share your experience.

I did, but it didn't happen until my due date, and I did go into labour afterwards.

Is it possible you have a bug? Maybe give your MW a quick call for some reassurance.

I had one lot of diarrhoea and was sick as my contractions started, apparently it’s the bodies way of preparing for Labour
I’m not sure yours sounds the same I would check with your midwife

Thanks, I’m going to give it a couple more hours before I call my midwife. Don’t think it’s a bug as I don’t feel unwell.

I'm almost 40 weeks and I've had it all week. As soon as I eat within half an hour I have to go. Doesn't necessarily mean anything don't panic xx

I had this when I was 31+5 and ended up delivering naturally at 32 weeks, definitely give a call if you're worried x
