I'm currently 37+4 and have had an upset stomach with diarrhoea for 2 days now. I haven't eaten anything bad or changed my eating habits. I know diarrhoea isn't that common in pregnancy as constipation is much more likely, but it can be an early labour sign. But this has been 2 days now and I've had a few Braxton Hicks but absolutely nothing else. This is my second pregnancy, first baby came 1 week early. Anyone have a similar experience? Should I be putting my hospital bag by the door?!

I had some around the same time and it didn't really come to anything, I'm now 39+2 and had a bit more the last couple of days so will have to see. I think it can be a sign but there seem to be so many signs that labour is on the way but on the way seems to be anything from a day to a few weeks!
