I have loose bowels and I’m 35 weeks.
I’m not unwell. But I’ve had this on and off for the past week. A sudden intense urge to go and tummy pains then when I get to the toilet, they’re quite loose. I’ve also had some constipation mixed in.
Baby moving around lots as normal. My appetite is the same.
Is this a sign of early labour?

This sound like your body preparing for it. It's what they call a clearout. Tends to happen before you go into labour but still could be a week or even few weeks away. It's just your body getting rid of any toxins before hand.

Happened to me two days before my waters broke. I heard it's the body preparing. Good luck!
