Ahh help! I can’t stop going to the toilet

[Ahhhmebowels]

Massive TMI alert

I’m 37 weeks pregnant and I can’t stop going for a number 2. My stools are really soft but it’s not like the runs.

I’m also crampy (the cramps last for ages so I know it’s not a contraction) and have had a teeeny bit of spotting.

Is there anything I can/take? I need to be better for work tomorrow. I’ve been like 4 times already this evening

This rings early labour warning bells to me. Is your bag packed?

Also, no idea about taking anything but try to stay hydrated.

I agree sounds like early labour. By spotting, could this be some of your plug slowly coming away?
When do you start your maternity leave OP? Have you rang your midwife? My waters were ruptured and I only realised when they started running pink meaning blood was present so may be worth a phone call lovely just to be on the safe side.
Good luck

Sounds like all the starts to my labours! Ooooh Good luck OP x

Thanks all!

I didn’t ring the unit as the need to go to the toilet stopped. Only thing I’m experiencing this morning is cramping. No more spotting or anything. Just painful cramps that aren’t contractions.

I think I’ll call the midwife today and see if someone can just check me out as it is pretty painful down below is also quite swollen
