Painful Bowel Movements 39 Weeks (TMI!)

Has anyone else had this?

Please tell me labour is around the corner!

I have had an intermittent set of loose bowel movements (not quite the runs) since 37 weeks. I was/am getting that gripey pain you get when you have the runs. Then I have to go pretty urgently.

My diet hasn’t changed and the actual movements have been really painful past few days. What does this mean?

I’m due Monday so clinging on to anything!

I'm due Saturday and have had this. I think it's hormone related as I also get like this before my period. It's good as my midwife said that constipation is a common cause of delayed labour so I'm assuming it's the body's way of getting things going!
